Injury Updates

[EastLondonYid]

I think Dier and Moura would be available this weekend or at worst, for the game after that.

According to Poch, Sissoko’s injury isn’t that serious so he might be back sooner than initially expected. Anyway the rest will do him good after his exertions during the holiday period.

At last some sense...
I am not throwing myself off the nearest bridge, yes we are in a spot of bother but i think Llorrente will surprise a few and we will not collapse, believe ffs

Calm done dear
Read all my posts before you answer, don't just pick out what you want ,
I said in relation to our forward problems midfield is not a crisis... And with Dier back and Sissoko not serious its not.
We all want new signings all over the pitch, but lets remember this squad has got as top 4 consistently over the last few seasons..
So calm the fuck down will you.

I never said I wasn't calm, it is what it is at the end of the day. Whether or not it's a worse situation than our forwards is irrelevant to be honest, it's not a competition between which position has the biggest crisis. Just because we also have issues up front doesn't mean our lack of fit CMs doesn't matter. Even if Dier and Sissoko come back soon, that still leaves us with no rotation options during a critical point in the season and it's at least in part the lack of rotation over the past few weeks that has likely caused SIssoko to pick up his injury in the first place. The fact remains we will have a shortage of CMs and attacking options. Like I say, I'm not panicking but it's just a fact.

Ideal scenario is that S Korea lose in round of 16 which is 20-22 Jan then Sonny comes back . Sure Poch & Co will come up with a formation that will be good enough in the PL games we have coming up but Chelsea will be difficult without Harry and Sonny.

I might be wrong but I’m pretty sure even if we signed someone they couldn’t play in 2nd leg even if not cup tied.

lol this got a winner as well

Dude it's not an std, he doesn't contract an ankle Injury just like that it's just an unfortunate event.

Of course it's unfortunate but a player getting a repeat injury in the same place consistently points to the fact that maybe just maybe it may happen again.

Nah, it's not a hamstring or a groin strain, it's a freak ankle injury yet again these things happen.

Besides buying a player just in case a player picks up freak injury is silly business.

I think to get the same injury 3 or 4 times has to be more than just coincidence. He may have bulked up to much and in quick movements his ankle can’t comfortably hold the extra body weight.

Yeah but you can't account for injuries like that particularly when they are inflicted by other players or in the act of making a tackle.

1st time he injured it he was making a tackle, the other 3 times he was landed on or kicked by other players.

Maybe we can inflict the same pain on our rivals with losing players for several weeks , so my next move is take Harry out of my fantasy football team and buy Salah.

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t this the other ankle from his previous injuries?

But Salah is midfielder in FL

I was always under the impression that, especially with ankle injuries, the more often you roll your ankle the more often it is you're going to roll your ankle in the future, as the tendons stretch and never truly tighten all the way back up. May be way off though.

Kin hell. Hope dier is fit for sunday

 

[DJS]

Gah...

 

[dagraham]

Great, but not surprising. A muscle injury waiting to happen for weeks and a direct result of not strengthening the squad.

 

[Ghost Hardware]

I'm really struggling here not to chastise Levy once again for not buying a CM over the last 3 windows. Awful news, this month sucks balls.

 

[John48]

Must I find it surprising that I'm upset by this news. I though Sissoko was just starting really get into the game & cause MU problems when he got injured & it was the little bit of luck they needed to get into the game.

this isn't the same ankle he injured the last 3 times apparently

 

[Lighty64]

But Salah is midfielder in FL

there are other FF games that a swap can be made

We have 7 first team CM’s at this exact moment. In terms of pecking order: Dier, Dembele, Winks, Wanyama, Sissoko, Amos, Skipp. The only available CM’s at the moment are Winks and Skipp, our 3rd and 7th choice. We’ve been bare bones at CM for 2 months and now somehow its even worse. Hopefully Dier is back on Sunday but even then we’re a few short.

We need 2 or 3 in this month, and have to name Foyth in CL squad. Unfortunately, we have no open places in the squad. We have to offload GKN and Dembele to name 2 in PL and have to offload Dembele while not naming Vorm or Wanyama in CL in order to get 2 plus Foyth.
