Well this is good news...is it even possible to do that with a torn hamstring?

It is (although it's not very bloody comfortable) as long as it's not a fresh high grade tear, your quads and adductors are taking most of the punishment. Running isn't possible though so if you see him on a treadmill he'll be closer to a return.

Here we go. It's amateur physio hour, starring some fella who has a certificate and another who had 'exactly the same injury'.

It doesn't look very torn to me!

 

[Barcon]

Who's that in the background, Nacho?

It's either Ferrnando or Fernandinho.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

It's either Ferrnando or Fernandinho.

I see what you did there, ;)

Racist.

It's not btw, too much hair.

Who said it was torn?

Who said it was torn?

That was going to be my question as well, such pessimists we have as fans we really do

 

[TonyM]

At least he's alive.

 

[JustAnotherCityFan]

According to City Watch Pellers has said Delph will need about 15 days to be match fit.

 

[TonyM]

I'd give it 16 days myself.

No

Fabian was 99.9% sure he was going to sign for us as long as six weeks ago. His head has been in a spin this week with the birth of his kid.

On Wednesday, he didn't really know if he was coming or going. With all that was going on his families lives, Fabian fell for the tugging on the heart strings appeals from Villa fans. It was only by the end of Wednesday that Fabian realised he had made a mistake not signing for us and the rest his history.

He is a good guy who looks after his family and friends. He's not been messing is about for the sake of it!

No obv I know he's not messing about and id suppose having a child about to be born his head would of been all over. Hope he's fit soon.

Any news on when Delph back to full fitness?

At a guess I'd say Watford at the earliest. Wouldn't be surprised though if they left it until the Palace game as a precaution.

Seems legit.

Thank you to all. Will be good to see him back and see what he can do. More thinking defensively which is where we will need him most.

We looked pretty solid during the few minutes we played against Madrid, when he came off it all fell apart. Having both him and Fernandhino running into tackles would be a good option when we need to go into the trenches to get a result.

Can't wait for him to get fit and to get going...think he will surprise a lot of people
