Benjamin Mendy (Back In Training)

[Easy]

have you watched them this season?

Yes, a few times.

They failed their hardest test so far in Shakhtar. They beat Lazio who I think will finish sixth 4-1 after going down a goal then scored 3 goals in 5 minutes after Lazio self destructed.

Milik is out for 4-5 months and they have no replacement.

Sarri is an excellent manager but he isn't backed financially and they haven't improved the squad this summer. Mertens and Callejon are both 30. With Milik out they will both play a lot more.

After the international break they have Cagliari at home, then in a week Roma (A), City (A), & Inter (H). We'll see their level. They are a great team and will challenge as they've done the past few years but won't win it.

More chance no one on here will see much of you again!

Dont be harsh, hes probably still holding out some misguided dream that we'll go for Chiellini as some kind of replacement

Why on earth would any blue post that when none of us have a clue how serious this injury is?

You need to understand the poster to answer that question. Kiam's raison d'etre is to be controversial (or at least, contrary) and in addition to this he's a right drama queen.

Ok, I just thought he was a rag wum. Fair play though, even amongst blues there must be a small minority of total dicks. Thanks for the heads up.

Crutches are a precaution and only used to avoid wait bearing whilst the injury is fully assessed. BM will be able to walk perfectly normally, but when you're worth over fifty million they won't take any risks.

 

[Dirty Harry]

Our medical team will have an idea what it is, the optimist in me tells me the brace etc is just a precautionary measure so as not to aggravate anything until he's seen the specialist, what was he like after the initial injury in the 5 or so minutes he stayed on , twisting, turning etc ?

 

[The Colonel]

If it was serious there's no way that he would even be at the game last night.
Never wear the shirt again? Give me strength.

 

[Sheikh Rattle n Roll]

Great player that he is, anyone who saw him limp out of the France England match earlier in the summer, and with us buying him with an injury, will have known his knee was likely to give up in a big way at some point, just hope he recovers quickly

 

[mancity1]

Find it bizarre he would be at the game traversing up and down steps on crutches in a brace if he was seriously injured ala Gundy.

I know crazy things happen in football but this would be up with them if it was more than a medial strain and had the potential to get worse is it was a ACL or a PCL.

It's unlikely he'll ever walk again. #prayformendy
