Injuries?

[Ric]

Apologies if I've missed it, but did Pellegrini explain why Delph, Clichy and Fernando weren't in the squad yesterday? Are they all injured again?

 

[kaz7]

He didn't say but i assume so as they didn't travel

 

[dasein]

I missed it too

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Could have done with Delph last night too

Why?

not sure about that, the team was fine aside from some errant finishing and one or two lapses at the back, otherwise decent balance.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Why?

Because Fernandinho want on his usual best form and delph would have strengthened the midfield

 

[Claytop]

Not sure if it's just me but I've given up trying to track injuries and when they'll be back. As soon as ones fit someone else is crocked.

I was really pleased when Pellegrini declared that we had a fully fit squad (other than Nasri) before the Sunderland game. Less than a week on we've potentially got four new injuries again.

Baffling, no mention at all from him. On the OS at the bottom of the press conference it said Nasri, Kompany, Fernando and Zab injured, no mention of Clichy or Delph then Zab turns up on the bench, very strange.

We've employed some right bloody shirkers. Hope they've all got notes.

As long as non of them were festively related.

So where are Clichy and Delph ?

Though Delph was relatively cheap at £8m, he's hardly been fit, it's becoming a huge problem as he offers us no rotational choice.

Clichy too has been nowhere to be seen this season.

 

[Eccles Blue]

Maybe they just didn't travel with the team. Did Kompany travel with them? Was he in the stands or back home in Manchester?

Vinny was in the stands as he has been every game

Yeah its weird that, he was obviously brought in as a rotation player, surely you'd want someone without a questionable injury record?

I know he is in the stands at the home games Karen7, I just wondered if he always travels to away games. If he travels on a coach with the rest of the squad that could account in part for his strained groin/calf not healing as quickly as it should. Being cramped on a plane or a coach can't be doing much for it. I'm not allowed to travel too far in a coach or a car at the moment because of a calf & ankle problem as it could seize up again.

I realise that they have more leg room on their coach but even so, sitting for that length of time travelling can't be good for him. :-)

I can assure you when they travel on planes they have more leg room than I have in my lounge/living room :)
