I'm hoping he is back soon
I watched the very few minutes he played in Australia pre-season and he looked like he fit into the team really well they trusted him with tight passes and he was very good on his feet
I feel like he could do the same job as Milner given the chance

Imagine he may get some minutes in the Palace game on Wednesday.
 
I hope we make sure he's absolutely ready to play before he comes back. I think he's got a big part to play in the rest of the season and to lose him again quickly would be damaging for the team and for his confidence.

If he gets another injury quick after returning I fear for his career with us
I would really like him to succeed with us even if it was to just prove the people who said we would ruin his career wrong but even then he looks a decent player and could give us a very solid midfield for the cluster of games around The Christmas period then hopefully have a real pre-season next year and start pushing for a staring spot
 
I'm intrigued to see what this lad can offer us. I thought he was a top player for Villa and had a real sense of authority on the pitch. Hopefully he doesn't shirk away from that and be intimidated by playing with better players.

Him and Fernandinho could offer the perfect balance for this team.
 
It may take him some time to get upto match sharpness after missing so much time & I hope people are patient with him & don't persecute him like they have done Fernando & Bony.
And Mangala & Otamendi & Sterling... Unless he comes in immediately playing as well as Yaya (in his prime) & Dinho he'll get prosecuted, people on here love that.
 
I think Pellegrini will ease him in up until Christmas to make sure he's fully recovered.
 
I am not a medic - so easy on your replies.
Are some players more prone to 'hamstring' injuries than others. I can think of Aguero , Delph , Nasri and others who have been 'caught out' with this injury.
Yet other players do not seem to suffer.
 
Pretty sure Manuel said in Friday's press conf that of Delph, Clichy, Silva, Aguero, that one or two might start working with the rest of the squad next week (ie this week). And given his previous comments that players need at least 2 days training with the rest of the group before they can be considered for selection (his reason for not picking Vinnie) then doesn't this mean there's no chance of seeing Delph before at least the Norwich game?

I think you're right. I'm pretty sure Delph was supposed to be training with the group this week, and Silva was a potential option for this weekends game, if not then Sevilla. I'd expect Silva to make an appearance from the bench. The fact Delph has had two lengthy injuries already, and Fernandinho had the suspension (and rest) midweek I would expect him to stay on the sidelines a little longer to avoid risk. With the Internationals looming, he better be nowhere fucking near that England squad.
 
Another week and another Delph "hopefully back next week"
I know we don't need to know the exact nature of injuries but this is ridiculous
 
His injury was hamstring on england duty just after getting back from the same injury

I expect we are making sure it doesn't happen again
 
There is no need to rush him. Fdinho has had a rest and Fdo is in great form. One of those two will partner Yaya and the other will replace Yaya from the bench. Hope to see him soon though.

Is it? Has this injury been dragged out? As far as I know he's supposed to be back in a week or so which is about the time that was predicted? Hardly seems like a Michael Johnson situation so far!
