Injuries - 2023/24 | Ederson, De Bruyne, Akanji, Grealish & Nunes all back in training (p138)

[Etihad]

Akanji is needed at the back with his pace

Akanji is a huge miss if he's not available. Hopefully he will play.

 

[Alfie Budd]

Walker and Stones are only squad members confirmed as definitely out on Sunday by Pep.
Everyone else in contention to play subject to training on Friday and Saturday.

Thanks a lot Southgate

 

[decmancity]

Thanks a lot Southgate

Fuck all to do with him.

 

[Legal Alien]

Fuck all to do with him.

The clueless one didn't need to pick Stones for that meaningless game, so yeah his injury is all down to him.

 

[Phil1]

Fuck all to do with him.

It is, not all the blame of course but he’s definitely played a part with the inclusion of Stones in the second game.

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

I'm still boiling that he started the two friendlies

I'm boiling they were even called up!!!
Friendlies at this stage should be looking at potential replacements - in case someone picks up an injury playing for their CLUB.
But that's england for you

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

Fuck all to do with him.

Look, I get the counter argument that Southgate was just doing his job, but part of his job is to factor in a player’s injury record… not for City’s sake, for England’s. One bad injury and he misses the Euros.

 

[Nellies left peg]

Fuck all to do with him.

Why play Walker with over 80 caps and Stones who is coming back from injury in meaningless friendly games. He would have had them play 180 minutes barring injury. He’s a **** and a useless one at that

Pep should withdraw them from the Euros at the last minute and fuck him oyer !!
