Rodri Injury Updates | TNT & ESPN reporting ACL | Still nothing official

[super_city_si]

Kovacic and Bernardo have done a great job so far. Just worry how reliable Kova is as he seems to pick up injuries. I think this means more time for Lewis as he's been great in adding to the numbers in the middle from RB with Akanji covering him.

Is one of the Argentinians we have out on loan a DM?

Perrone maybe but I am not sure if we can call back that loan

Time to try Grealish in the middle - he's got the physicality and the legs that we're going to need now.

We've stared 4 games without him this season and won the lot. We missed kdb for 6 months last season and it never affected us. The more you doubt this squad the more they make you look stupid.

KDB was not out for 6 months. His return helped us win the Newcastle away game in January. Rodri is potentially out for the whole season. We haven't had him missing too many games, so fingers crossed.

Generally, you can't recall players from season-long loans - only short-term ones. It'd have to be agreed upon with their current club

Gutted for Rodri personally because this means Vinicius Jr. will probably take the Balon d'Or, and at 28 he's no spring chicken anymore which means he probably won't be the same when he comes back. But we'll be alright. We've already made history, at worst this season we'll be finishing in the top four and going for all the cups. And we still have a squad that's more capable of winning this league, even without Rodri - it won't be comfortable but it'll be fun.

Why? It’s not being awarded for this coming season ??

We lost Kev last season for 5 months and we adapted and coped. We had no striker for a whole season and adapted and still won. It’s fucking shite news, but we’ll still be right in the mix for everything.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Gutted for him.

No bones about it, this is a hammer blow. Nothing we can do about it now but hope we can fill the gap. Gundo and Kovacic seems the best option but we're going to be relying a lot on 33 year old legs. Signing Bruno wouldn't have mattered though, because he's fucking dross anyway.

thoughts with you Rodders.

We’ll be reet.
