That’s what I thought so was surprised to see him in the England squad

BUT just checked NE media & seems his injury is not nearly as bad as they first thought & might be back in training soon

Bruised foot. The scouse chip on his shoulder fell on it

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Probably True Grant. Son of Lee Grant who was 3rd choice at utd for a few years

That predictive text.
Just googled True Grant and a picture of John Wayne popped up.

Reading the tea leaves from Peps conference Eddy may well ne available for Arsenal.

Seems like his thighs thickness match his occasional brain fade ala the penalty he gave away against Liverpool.

No kev , grealish back with the group but doesnt sound anywhere near this game

Hopefully it's a nice warm early evening and no need for the big coat and fishermans friends.

Good news on the injury front today Kaz , notwthstanding the friendlies we could be at full strength against Arsenal.

It certainly is in Lanzarote…

Will Pep go strong tomorrow, with us not having a game for a fortnight after this game? I'm assuming, though, that a lot of them will be playing for their countries.

Will Pep go strong tomorrow

Of course he will. He'll go about as strong as vs Luton.
