It was probably Hazard who injured him.

With wanyama to cover Dier if he needed to drop back , then between Dier and wimmer I think we have it covered.

Don't worry. We still have Fazio (I think).

And when he's back from suspension there's always Bassong.

Wilmots said he's out for six to eight weeks. Not four months.

Still bad news but lets hope he does not miss many games.

He can keep Dembele company while he serves his suspension.

4 weeks until the season starts so he may only miss two or three weeks.

Not too bad, we only play 3 league games before the first international break. Should be in contention for when the CL matches kick-in

I think Jan's roll in the team has been marginalised by tactics and this seasons new rules.
When he first joined he was a ball playing, ball carrying centre-half that could carry himself into areas where he was a goal threat. Well the ball carrying element (what was a site to behold) has been eradicated as the tactic is to stay rigidly at the back with toby with the only movement being the size of the gap between them across the pitch.
Secondly, the new rules has vastly impaired Jan's ability to defend from corners and free-kicks as he very much relied on the grappling and impeding technique to gain an edge. I don't think Jan is very physical or dominant as centre-halfs go and the new rules make him vunerable/weak link. In fact now i think of it i can never remember Jan leaping or producing a commanding header.
His other main weakness is he is not good at coping when he is being attacked and is backing off.
When considering these points i just think Wimmer may be a better option all round. He can certainly pass and his run in the team last year proved he is up to it.

I don't know how to use the like button, he and Jan are our best CB partnership and it should not be forgotten how good they were together last season. It amazes me that he is getting the blame for the first goal from some fans and now some are saying he should be left out for Wimmer, he has been far more consistent then Kane for example but for some reason Kane is getting a free pass from many.
