Posted in the post match thread, today is officially 11 weeks since he was mauled.
3 months we’ve been without him. In context, he was out only 3 weeks after having groin surgery. Make no mistake, this is a really significant injury whatever it is he’s dealing with.
I’m not, I have seen him play for Bayern often enough to know he is in a class of his own. Every presser I’m waiting to hear that he is back in team training. I impatiently watch every “inside training” video if I see him walk out, he is a difference-maker one who sets Mané and Salah with one little clever pass one on one with the goalkeeper.
He can make the life of our battered defence so much easier.
Same here his quality, vision and technique is almost press resistant and will take our forward play to a new height as his passing is quick and progressive. Just gutted he aint fit
The ‘positive’ is it came from an absolutely reckless tackle. He might be injury prone, but would be too early to judge given how he got injured this time. Either of Keita or Thiago would have helped us convert that one point yesterday to 3. Can’t wait for him to be back, been a while have been this excited of a signing.
Problem is right a lot of people raised the issue with Thiago that he was quite injury prone.
Yes I take that his injury is as a result of a really bad tackle however his recovery time is an issue also.
He has already missed 1/3 of the season and I’m
Not sure if there is any news of him coming back just yet.
Calling him injury prone might not be justified, but if he is the player who pulls the strings in his side, he is obviously going to get roughed up a bit. Maybe him being targeted by opposition and a long time to recover from knocks explains his past injury record and his current injury.
