Injury Updates

[Alan Harper's Tash]

At least he isn’t on crutches

At least his knee is ok.

Precaution​

if there is swelling they normally wait a couple of days then look at it
so like everybody said Precaution and wait ?

i think he will defo miss the FA cup game vs liverpool and depending on the findings and it could be anything even season ending or nothing and can play the next game

KDB was a impact injury and you could see him talking about it on the bench so should be ok
but i would rest him anyway and let phil foden run the midfield because he is young and full of energy

 

[Tuearts right boot]

At least he isn’t on crutches

Nah, going solo skiing.

 

[ancoats]

At least his knee is ok.

yep

i first thought it was a ACL and when the replay shown his boot stuck in the grass a feared the worst
but a ankle injury is also very unlucky and could be a long lay off

 

[ancoats]

they say it never rains, but it pours ? a full fit manchester city at wembley beats liverpool
it would not be city if we do things the easy way and coast big games

True, but ankle injuries are less likely to end your career.

Watching one of the replays last night I thought Kyle twisted his ankle on landing. What damage that di god only knows.

If there was the faintest chance Walker’s injury was serious would we let him walk upstairs unaided, watch him trying to get into a fight, then happily let him walk about with a boot on carrying his own luggage?

If the answer is Yes then fair enough

They can be a right mess to heal properly if you don't have the rest and treatment and end up with bits of floating bone or the joint messed up with the weak muscle and scares tissue problems

its crazy even at the etihad having stairs in the tunnel getting to the pitch ? i don't under it and somebody could hurt themselves one day and the club would be blamed

 

[KS55]

Sorry - I thought it was clear from the "first Summer had Nolito and Bravo", and the "six seasons" that I was talking about under Pep, but realise I didn't actually say that.

Clearly we have a huge list of poor transfers before that date, which makes it more remarkable. Obviously recruitment could have improved, but I'd suggest Guardiola can make good players work for him.

It’s a bit of both, I reckon. Tkixi recruits pretty well nowadays and Pep improves players.

Lots of clubs have stairs in the tunnel , there maybe a case, but I’ve never heard of a player being injured on tunnel stairs.

Are you allowing for Oliver?

I remember doing the tour years ago and the guide said players (Anelka was mentioned) slipped on the carpet when we were on the flat.

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

I agree KDB will also be a huge loss. However we have the players to step up.
Rodri, Bernardo, Gundogan, Grealish, Foden, Fernandhino, Sterling, Jesus, Mahrez, Delap......
thats 10 players for the front 6 places. Plus other EDS players.

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

Still nothing official bout Walker and KdB...

I think Pep should keep this under wraps, say nothing about either player until the team is announced on Saturday,, keep Slopp guessing so he won't know what tactics too use

Agreed, earlier in the season peeps were picking our 'best 11' and not naming Kev.
Clearly he's picked up form significantly but we're not a One man team, we have a good squad for that reason.

Even if he was 100% fit, I'm not convinced he would start after Wednesday nights exertions.

Klopp’s tactics will continue to be ‘kick and rush’. They’re good at what they do but they are basically a reincarnation of Wimbledon.

Not a patch on God’s own club when it comes to footballing ability.
