Injuries 2025/26 | Kovacic could be ruled out for further 3-4 months (p37)

Only 2 of the squad not training is pretty good. Just a shame one is Rodri again.

three if this fella isn't on the grass

 

[hateutd]

We r a little bit, another team without Rodri....

 

[skillman]

Great news on Marmoush and RAN.

Shame about Rodri and Khusanov, though.

 

[Buckshaw Blue]

Is Cherki back for Saturday then?

Kovacic and Cherki are the ones we want back most imo.

RAN hasn't impressed so far and O'reilly has made left back his own, his return means we'll have to limit O'Reilly minutes. Marmoush coming back is useful but again, his minutes are going to come at the expense of Doku, who, Haaland aside, has been our best player this season.

Cherki being available and adding some inventiveness from the right or central is a bonus as savinho and Bobb arent in great form. Kovacic is the key player we've missed all season in midfield, getting him back and hopefully as the 8, not 6 will see us step up another level, he is vastly underappreciated. Not expecting him to start this weekend but do think an appearance from the bench is due.

That is Nico and Savinho.

No, the one behind Bernie's elbow:-)

That's actually Savinho!

[johnny crossan]

That's actually Savinho!

If you say so ;-)

So no sign of Cherki in the group there - on that basis I still think he could be a real doubt for tomorrow

Absolute sick note so far this guy.

 

[Gray]

Could be anybody?

 

[Dunne's own goal]

Could be anybody?

surely not - I'll eat me hat if that's Doku
