Yeah just read that. No reason to disbelieve him so that's a bit of a relief.Hopefully Poch was right and it's only minor
Agree, if it was serious surely he would be sent back home like Foyth was. And Poch would probably be a lot more vague about his chances of playing against Milan even if it was troubling. It's not uncommon for players to pick up slight problems during preseason.Yeah just read that. No reason to disbelieve him so that's a bit of a relief.
Have to say that itk seems somewhat unlikely as Poch said himself it was minor and they didn’t send him home as think he will be fit for Milan. He also trained if lightly for 40 minutes doing laps at open session. Sounds unlikely he’d be doing that if In agony.
I banged my little toe this morning, on the corner of the bed. Fucking agony defined. But it was over in less than a minute. Maybe Lamela had just done the same? Anyway, niggles and bumps happen all the time. None of which mean it'll be a long standing issue.
Ever trod on a piece of Lego barefoot? Or an upturned plug? Childbirth my arse, that's proper agony.
So let me get this right, we already have injuries to Wanyama, Lamela, Sissoko, Winks and Foyth and we had 9(?) players in teams that played the maximum amount of games at the World Cup who so far have had no preseason whatsoever.
If he can play against Milan as Poch suggest then yes, if he's out till the first game of the season or after then no. Missing a few days is not that much of a problem, pretty common for returning players to pick up slight muscle strains.The question is, will Lamela still be able to enjoy what people keep refering as a full preseason?
A video of the players arriving in Minneapolis off the plane, last night, showed Lamela walking down the stairs unassisted, without crutches/a boot and carrying his own bag.
Given others have been sent back to recover in England with injuries then I can only assume that this is not too serious and that hopefully the Goat was mistaken...

Id think it just goes to show that its not a bad injury whereas Wanyama returned to London.Strange he stayed with them even if he wasn't going to play. I wonder how touch and go it was. Hopefully play on the weekend.
