Still out. Anyone know what his injury issue is?

Knee but he is without crutches or brace so shouldn't be long

Great to see he's back. Very underrated player for us.

I like him but one game he can be magnificent and the next has a stinker

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

In my opinion we are a better side when he isn’t in it. Particularly playing that role.

Good to see him back.

It's important to remember that we bought him as back up. He was poor today but let's not forget how many good games he's played in multiple positions. With a fully fit squad he wouldn't get in my starting 11 but he's a good squad player to have when called upon. And for 15M we got a bargain.

Was surprised he was the one stepping into mid, when John Stones was on the field.

Agreed he has shown to be very flexible as well as strong in 1 v 1’s.

Played an important role last season, including CL final
