Bollox.. feel for the lad. Was my tip to light up the league this season.

Ffs. As regular as clockwork at the start of EVERY season we have an important player injured. What the hell happens in training?
I am gutted for Oscar and wishing him a safe recovery. However I am also increasingly worried by the size of our ever diminishing core squad, with no sign of any reinforcements rocking up. How can we hope to compete in an 11 month long season, when there are fewer players and the massive risk of even more injuries as regular starters ( I'm looking at Rodders, Berni, Phil, Manu) are expected to play even more games when they already haven't had a decent summer break for the last 3 seasons. It's sheer kamikaze madness imo.

Luckily, we don't have a smaller core squad.

Alvarez has left, in my reckoning that's minus 1? By core I meant proven PL players - my bad.

I came here to write the same thing. I know his English isn't perfect, but the fact that the club was so quick to brief the press that it was a non-contact injury makes me think it did involve another player. What a shame, regardless.

Bet it was Cancelo, he looks the type : )

Don’t know if it’s allowed, but would be curious to know the speculation from the better sources if someone is willing to summarize.

Same here please too. ...

If it was Haaland or Foden.... do their contracts need to be terminated with immediate effect... like some twitter bellends are suggesting in the hope it was Walker, Cancelo, Phillips etc

Do you have any suspicion that Savinho isn't going to hit the ground running? he certainly looks the part. I might add that McAtee is a 'proven' PL player now.

we could most likely get by with the squad we have 'BUT' we have to take into account should another player or at worse two get bad knocks before Bobb returns

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

Valid point! There is a reason I’m not on Twitter (and thus can’t look myself), so I should have known better.

I am less concerned about blaming someone - I think there are very few sports injuries in which someone is truly “at fault.” Moreso curious how people thought the injury happened.

Same. I've always liked how Spanish clubs will put out a brief describing precisely what was done in the operation, too. English clubs aren't as tight-lipped as, say, hockey teams who either define it as an "upper-body injury" or "lower-body injury" but are still pretty discreet.

Could have been worse to be fair. Back for Christmas. Better off than we were last year with Kev
