Probably out for about a 3 weeks. He’s got his move, I didn’t think we needed him after his petulance and throwing his toys out the pram at Leicester.
I really hope he turns it around. If he starts thinking he’s the next coming, he might be in for a shock.
Please prove me wrong Riyad.

That was against a disjointed Bayern. His real test will be in the PL, he has the class most definitely, just hope he can stay out of the treatment room and deliver on the field. It’s going to be interesting to see how he “slots in” because he will not want to be a rotational player.

He went down in the area on 5 minutes, there seemed little contact, perhaps on arm on his shoulder? He rolled around a lot and he stayed down. The ref gave no foul.

After some treatment from the sidelines he played on, apparently OK for 20 minutes. Bayern scored 2 goals, one after 13 minutes, completely against the run of play, and another on 25 minutes. Bayern seemed on top, we looked deflated.

Almost immediately he sat on the floor and took his boot off. Perhaps he was p*ssed off at going behind and didn't fancy pushing it, with a sore ankle, as the most senior outfield player amongst a group of kids in a friendly? We had lost the previous 2 games, and at that time things didn't look good.

I have no problem him coming off if he had a painful knock. It worked well with Bernardo leading the comeback. I just hope he has the character to dig deep when we might be down in important PL or CL games? I do wonder if he would have come off if we had been 2 goals up and cruising? Being behind in games can effect some player's minds more than others. Some players, like Zab, are perhaps defined by their mental strength and resilience.
