Injury Updates

[Indaparkside]

He’s finished:) hope I see that bullshitting cvunt from the wolves game

 

[BosnianBlue]

Don't know what people are expecting on his return. Yes, he'd found a bit of form, just befoe he was injured, but he is not the messiah, and cannot turn our defense around single handedly. It seems the longer he is injured the better he was, in some peoples eyes.

he makes all of his partners 50% better when they are paired with him. He's not Messiah and we might struggle to see the best of him this season, but lot of our defensive problems are due to him missing.

Not just partners, Zinny was not the same at left back when he got injured as Laporte used to cover him. Made him look better than he was at left back.

i think it was a open day for the players and family rather than a training session and KDB little son hahaha, laporte did look he had been working on something and maybe its the first stages and just light running and just getting back into shape, so it could still be months not weeks before he will be ready and why rush him back and lose him again

Why guessing the stages of recovery and why worrying we are unprofessional enough to rush him back?

Laporte himslef said at the start of December he will be back 6 to 8 weeks. Under being back he is probably meaning being back in training with the team. So, February is realistic to see him in action. I guess he will be on the bench for the 1st leg against Real or even in the starting XI. Sane will be in the group. We won't rush anyone back, no need to worry about it.

Yeah we need to be careful with him. There's no rush yet. Manage him properly and let him work to fitness by the time the 2nd leg of the round of 16 comes around.

Bring him and sane back just in time for the Liverpool collapse in the league.

Pretty sure they're going to be fit by August mate.

February and march mate ;)

The league is gone but Laporte and Sané can make a big difference when it comes to the champions league. The entire team would look different and its confidence could be given a huge boost with those 2 coming.

It still seems like a long shot, but I do believe that this team is among the favourites for the Champions League as long as they're motivated and focused.

He’d found a bit of form?? Give your head a wobble the lad is pure class. Had he and VK been our CB pairing this season as the were at the end of the last we would be fucking top

 

[Craig]

Agreed, the priority should be to make sure he is 100% for the start of next years pre season, anything else this season is a bonus.

And unless Sane signs a contract extension I can see him getting a handful of games at most. If he is set on leaving why would we want him to be part of our team this season?

Because he’s the best left winger in the league and Sterling is much better on the right. We have cups and 2nd place to fight 4 and he’ll improve the squad.
