De Bruyne injury - Back in Training (p89)

[MCFC1993]

Gutted, really gutted but this is why we have squad depth, the other players have to step up now.

Hope he's not out for too long.

Given our upcoming fixtures it could have happened at a worse time.

Good stuff you are putting on a brave face and looking for positives. It has still ruined my Wednesday though!!

Haha trust me I'm not happy about this either! I can't pretend it hasn't threatened to dent my confidence. But what can I do, if not be positive?

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

Absolutely gutted ! Could be more than 2 months. Some mood changer on the radio just said he could be out until chrimbo :(

Every season it feels like we lose someone to a lengthy injury. Other teams get away with just niggles or knocks. Well at least Bernardo will get to cement his central position.

Bernardo, Foden, Gundogan and Delph (and Fern if Stones steps into his DM shoes) hould be sufficient for the games we have for the next two months. We never win at Liverpool anyway.

I don't want to be ridiculously optimistic here, and obviously I'm gutted he's out out, I was a bit worried that he might burn out after a long season and the world cup anyway. If he's out for three months he'll have a proper rest and be firing on all cylinders at the end of the season.

We were never in the market for a KDB alternative,so what's your point?

I've always said we needed someone who could play no.8, no6 Or ideally be versatile enough to play both. Because Gundogan isn't consistently dangerous enough to play as a backup for Debruyne and probably not consistently defensive and mobile enough to cover Fernandinho.

Concerned you may have been a bit short-sighted?

 

[HarrytheBlue]

Hopefully it's just sprained with no tears.

 

[jimharri]

Do we know how it happened yet; a tackle, or possibly his studs locking in the grass as he turned? I'm gutted at this.

Is this going to increase chances of some clogger having a go at Silva or Fernandinho in the next few games in the hope of buggering us up even more?
