6 | Nathan Ake - 2024/25

Internationals can fuck off, we never escape them unharmed. He's not even had the chance to get fit for us this season and now hes looking like missing a long period.

If he's being stretchered off with a muscular injury, that's not a good sign at all, hopefully this isnt the case but that's generally an indication it's completely gone and a lengthy spell out awaits.

So now we're down to 5 defenders and Rico, going to be in a lot of trouble if stones can't maintain an extended period injury free whilst Ake's out. Been saying all summer we're too short in defence
 
We'll be fine. We've been in worse positions with fewer defenders and, as always, Pep has found a solution. Just seen Rico Lewis have a cracking game out on the left for England tonight - no reason why he can't do that for us. Wilson-Esbrand is still with the squad after a decent showing in pre-season and I'm sure if he needed to fill in for a few weeks then he would. We won a Premier League title with 100 points with Fabian Delph at left-back, a domestic treble with a 22-year-old Oleksandr Zincheko at left-back, and we've just won a treble without a recognised left-back in the entire squad. Whereas during the 19-20 season, when we had left-backs coming out of our arse, we posted our second-worst season under Pep. Whatever Nathan's unfortunate injury is, we'll cope without him and we'll be ready to welcome him back when he's fit again.
 
Bad news for us, but we have Gvardiol and i think Pep will be pleased seeing Rico play well on the left tonight.

Get well and come back soon Nathan lad!
 
It was bad luck ( bad landing ) and it didn’t appear that bad at first. But he soon showed he was hurting badly and even needed a stretcher.

Let’s hope it’s not too bad and I wish the charming man a speedy recovery. Ake will know we or Pep will work something out.
