6 | Nathan Ake - 2022/23

[eastmanc]

Back to Nathan Ake, we should be ok for maybe 2/3 wks if he’s out, and a return for the first leg against Madrid..

Let's hope so.

If it was a proper hamstring injury they wouldn’t need the tests for Pep to know he’d be out a long time. We might have gotten away with it.

I wonder what kind of test Pep is referring to. My understanding was they would do a scan yesterday. The optimist in me wants to think the scan didn’t really reveal anything serious and the trainers are going to have him do some kind of running test tomorrow, but I’m probably being to optimistic.

Think it’s a thigh injury he has

Hamstring , he pulled up and was holding it

Not a chance he will play for a couple of weeks, simply not worth the risk, we still have at least a dozen games to play.

 

[ManCityGR!]

Any news on Ake?? Test should have been yesterday but Pep said they will be today so I'm confused.

 

[SouthernPlastic]

Hopefully just a grade 1 tear. Doubt he’d play against Arsenal either way though.

 

[BlueTG]

I reckon we will be quiet on this. If he’s injured we will find out shortly, if he might be fit in the week, then we will find out that way.

Keep Arsenal second guessing. Especially as our back line and coming into midfield dictate how we play.

 

[nicko]

Going to Miss Him. He’s Jacks perfect left sided defender too.

 

[fuskarn]

another press conference and still no news, im guessing its tactical at this point

 

[wolviedinho]

Pep said no injuries so unless he is lying or forget something is up!

 

[KingGeorge]

You got to figure if it was serious we would have heard by now. I think we heard Stones was out for a month a few days after he got hurt. He probably won’t play against Arsenal, but I’m optimistic he will be back for Real Madrid

No we do what we always do, we don’t wallow about missing players, we get injuries, someone else comes in and does a good job, that’s our mentality. That’s why we are the real mentality monsters

I admire your optimism but his injury didn't look great. He's no Micah Richards who used to return from season ending muscular injuries on a weekly basis :D

I think he is bluffing. For me, it didn't look good. I don't think we would risk Nathan knowing there is still over a month of football to play, and he might make the difference between winning and losing the PL, CL, and FA Cup. As crucial as the Arsenal match is, I prefer 100% fit Laporte to less than 100% Ake.
