If Johnson is out with a hamstring, no idea if he is, we will need him back in training asap. In general our bench is looking a little thin up top without Perisic.

Anyone have any idea when he will be back in full training? Even if Johnson isn’t injured our bench for attacking options looked very thin yesterday. Could really do with more options.

Believe someone responded to me the other week that his full return to the team is likely at the end of October.

wouldn't mind to see Donley/Santiago/Soonsup-Bell to be included in the squad
Have any of them been training with the first team at all? They all looking very good for the u21's but if they haven't been involved with first team training its doubtful any of them will get a look in any time soon. Agree tho, would love to see any one of them.

Not sure though, but imo they are still better options than Gil who hasn't have any pre-season at all, as @mil1lion pointed out

I think Gil should 100% given a chance but if he's still not back for another month then I agree we will certainly need to have another option on the bench. I just don't see Ange throwing a youth player into the mix that hasn't been training with the first team squad for a while is more my point.

You'd think it will still be a few weeks before his fitness is at the required level. I'm guessing we'll see him back in matchday squads following the international break.

Hopefully. If not sooner. He will be a good option off the bench, now that Perisic is out for the season. He and Lo Celso are the closest we have to another playmaker, outside of Maddison. Having him and Bentancur and Lo Celso back in the squad, will be great. Keep everyone on their toes and competition for places (except for CB) will be fierce. I also think Ange's system will suit his skillset. Would love nothing more than to see him thrive with us.

Brennan Johnson's injury probably makes it easier for him to get a spot on the bench, fast track
