Saying on Twitter (I know!) that he's doubtful for sunday, and will therefore be someway short of full fitness for the dippers game.

No Dinho, no LB, Kev, Walker and Aguero out of form. Call me pesimistic, but I don’t look forward to the dippers game
 
For Dinho to have any chance of playing against the Dippers , he will definitely need to be involved against the Saints , either playing the 1st sixty minutes or from the bench , if he is selected for the "nailed on" 2019 Champions game on Thursday after a six game lay off , it will be a big ask to expect him to be at his best.

Pretty much impossible to replace, as Yaya was before him. The team are just going to have to get used to playing another way, the defence and rest of midfield cant rely on Fernandinho bailing them out of the shit every week.

De Jong is not a replacement for Fernandinho, Ndombele has the physicality but lacks the nous imo and Aaour is nice and tidy but I fear he will be steam rolled in the prem.

He has a very unique skill set. That's what makes him the player he is and so damn hard to replace.

Fast
Agile
Physical
Ball winner
Good in the air
Plays on the half turn and looks to play forward
Positional sense
Intelligent
Big engine
Leader
Composed
Relatively injury free

Other players have a lot of limitations. They're either much weaker offensively, or much weaker defensively.

Sure, they may be stronger in one or more facets of the game than he is, but Fernandinho just has so many different bases covered. He's the type of player that any club could build a quality side around.
