Guess commonplace for youngsters - Klopp was saying in late Dec he could train and then be out for weeks, and that it was all in the hands of the medical staff. I remember Gerrard had similar issues early in his career, and we also saw Curtis suffer these kinds of issues a couple of years back.
Here’s hoping his head remains in it and he gets back to playing soon - a real talent that lad.
I think nobody said Bajcetic is lost for the season, but that they’re working with him on his physique. Growing issues and stuff, needs to get stronger. Klopp said he could train, but the doctors are saying no for now. Of course you’d still hope he could become available at some point.
I think we have to consider this season a write off for Stefan. We’re already half way through, there is no return date, and it seems a more esoteric situation related to his age, rather than a specific injury. Also, if this season goes the way we want it to, we want have the ability to give rehab minutes to Bajcetic.
Maybe, but I’m not one of those that think in a way “don’t expect anything and you’ll never be disappointed”. If he’s not written off for this season, I’m very welcome to see him available, if he is. Even if it’s for one game. Same goes for Thiago. I know it’s a trend these days to write off everything, pretend like they’re dead and we’ll never see him again. But every bit helps.
Pep confirmed that both Robba and Kostas should be back by the end of the month, that will help lighten the load on Gomez/let him move to RB to cover trent.
Gomez now our main full back + a couple of our kids right and left.
Other alternatives might be something like Quansah at RB, with Gomez coming infield from LB, because Mac will need help now, which Trent’s hybrid role provided.
Other options could be playing someone like Jones if needed, he could also do a job maybe at RB and come inside.
Then come 1st Feb after the window shuts is when we’ll get an updated prognosis it’s actually “worst than initially feared” and he’ll be out until early May, aye aye we know how this bollocks works. Deja fucking vu.
