How does Scheiderlin kicking KDB on the leg make him responsible for KDB picking up a groin muscle injury?

It doesn’t. Schneidelin’s Challenge ran his studs down KDBs shin. No where near his groin.

It's like littlewoods are made of oak and our lot balsa wood.

Not again. This is getting ridiculous.

How does Scheiderlin kicking KDB on the leg make him responsible for KDB picking up a groin muscle injury?

Possibly because KDB saw the tackle coming and had to move in an unnatural way to avoid serious injury. Thus incurring a minor injury.

It still knocked him to the grass. Maybe he landed in a bad way, I’m not a doc.

I thought it was a serious injury when Kev went off, as he was going to sit down he seemed to wince in pain at the same time the goalie coach Xabier Mancicidor looked at Kev and you could tell by his response it wasn’t good.

Pep just now on BT-

“Little problem, not a big one, not tonight but we’ll see for Sunday”.

People need to relax.

If you looked at their team for the league cup, you would see how thin their squad really is.

Correct.

There squad is gossamer thin.

The reality (although you'll never hear this from the broadcasting media) is for most of the squad players at Liverpool their season is already over.

People saying how does a foul result in a groin injury, how does a slight push in the back result in a hamstring, it knocks the player off balance putting other parts of the body at risk of stretching

I'd rest him against Wolves and make sure Belgium know he's not fully fit for international duty and give him a little break

Because that cûnt Martinez always listens to our docs. Just look at Kompany.

My reading:

Kev, who is in particularly exemplary form, felt a niggle and, after having been on the treatment table for most of last season, has decided to take *extra* special care with treating this apparent groin injury.

As others have pointed out, the slightly strange press release is likely intended to make it clear to Belgium management that he is not available for international duty given they have previous for not being particularly careful with our players carrying a knock. The absence means Kev can properly rest and City’s medical staff can treat the injury to ensure he has the best chance of being back and ready to play after the break.

I’ll wait for official word from City before thinking it is more than that.

That sounds about spot on.

I thought the same. Precautionary more than likely.

It'll be interesting to see which of the dippers pull up before the international teams are announced.

Per Sam Lee in his post-match chat thing Pep's apparently already been on the phone with Martinez today.

PEP (On @DeBruyneKev's injury) It's not serious. Today he could not play. We will see for next Sunday but right now I don't know (whether he will play this weekend). After international break, he will be fit.

 

[City_Sean]

At least it doesn't sound too serious. Doubt Pep will risk him Sunday. Feel for Kev, he's having a rotten time of it.

 

[Italian Manc]

Doesn't sound too serious, probably wont be risked for wolves

I thought we missed his drive a little tonight. Mahrez and Bernardo were quiet tonight and didn't drive on in the way he can do.
