I think it's all going to come down to his relationship with Mourinho. Ndombele has clearly had physical issues since joining, along with the psychological pressures of adapting to a new league, a new country and increased expectations.Say what you want to about Ndombele but when I see that he is playing or coming on I feel excited to see him. He had got clear talent and is a game changing player. He is young enough to improve his fitness and from what I have seen (which is much granted) his attitude looks good. The training with Mourinho during lockdown was all I needed to see.
I'm massively positive that he will turn into a great players for us (I will caveat this with the point that I also said this about Paulinho).
Good postI think it's all going to come down to his relationship with Mourinho. Ndombele has clearly had physical issues since joining, along with the psychological pressures of adapting to a new league, a new country and increased expectations.
He has all the talent in the world but Jose has to manage him correctly to coax the talent out of him. If he's too harsh Ndombele might just shut down, while if he's not harsh enough Ndombele might coast and never reach his potential.
It's going to be a real test of Jose's man management and I think it's really important he gets it right as Ndombele is arguably our most naturally talented player.

Really depends on what the issue is. If he has an actual physical issue that can’t be identified by a non-specialist then there’s not much Ndombele can do.I'm not sure putting the complete onus on the manager is fair here.
A huge swathe of responsibility lies directly at Ndombeles door too.

If it turns out he just needs to train harder and change his diet then Ndombele has more control over his situation.
Until the root cause of the issue is identified it is hard for us to judge.

One theory has been connected to his wisdom teeth. I have no idea of the validity of this.I agree in principle but these footballers should be taking responsibility for their own bodies the same way we do.
If I have a physical problem that is affecting me then I bloody well research it and try to get to the bottom of it because the only one that suffers is me.
See my post aboveAbsolutely, but whatever the issue, the only one who can get him to the top is himself. If that means going back to France or to a different team then so be it too. A manager can only do so much.
Yeah that's true - we're certainly paying him enough!I'm not sure putting the complete onus on the manager is fair here.

Kieran Dier had numerous injuries and a specialist found this was caused by his running technique. Again no way would it be reasonable to expect a non-specialist to come to that conclusion.
For this comparison to work we have to be sure that not playing while collecting the money is genuinely suffering for Ndombele .I agree in principle but these footballers should be taking responsibility for their own bodies the same way we do.
