Injuries.

It was great to see Silva back last night. I really hope he doesn't go on international duty though, couldn't stand him picking up another knock and missing key matches in October

Im afraid its inevitable he will be called by Spain. He's been their main man in qualifying and i think Iniesta is injured so they need Silva more than ever :(

Alternatively, he could have a great trip away with his compatriots and come back match fit.
 
Hopefully, by the time the international break is over we should only have Delph still out, according to Physio Room at least.

I'm sure it won't pan out like that, but we can live in hope.

Kompany is the main worry. he had started the season so well. Hopefully we are just being extra cautious. It looked like he was close to a return at Spurs and I thought he might make it for the Gladbach game.
 
We can't "put our foot down" as its up to the national federation to assess the fitness of their players, if we don't release them we breach the rules, and the player can be banned by UEFA/FIFA.
I stand corrected

Having said that plenty of clubs say their players are not fit for duty,rags and chelsea usually

The problem is if they are selected they are expected to travel, no matter who they play for. Belgium may have requested that Vinny travels, because he's such a senior player, and may have promised us he won't play, we're never likely to be party to that knowledge.

If we were unhappy with it, then we should be making it clear to the Belgian FA that he isn't fit, I'm sure we are.
 
I suppose its starting to ease a bit, but Kompany's injury is a worry, if he doesn't play the Internationals he'll have been out for a month which generally means a serious problem.
Any specifics on the others? Do we know if Clichy or Delph are running yet, or still in rehab?
