Injuries

Wow. I know other clubs have suffered multiple injuries as well, but fudge me the timing of ours have been a bitch. How many left sided players is that out for the season? Five? Six?

That's definitely fourth place out of the window.

Perisic, Solomon, Sessengnon, Udogie, Werner and Davies (6)

3 out all season,
Udogie about a quarter of the season
Werner and Davies “only” 5 or so games.

So our priority in the transfer window must be at least two, maybe three or four left siden players. Based on this season, we need three-four players for each position to account for injuries.

Hopefully the players’ bodies will have become accustomed to the intensity of training next season when we’ll have less recovery time between matches…

No obvious standouts this season but I’ll go for Vicario. VDV would have probably won it if he hadn’t got injured. If he (VDV) has a good euros then I think we need to brace ourselves for the big boys making a bid for him.

Would be irrelevant, he’s on a long contract and would take a Kane type offer to take him away. Noones got any money anyway have they?
 
Both fullbacks seems to be the only area of the academy we have no-one really being talked about as genuine prospects. Its been the case for quite a while, since KWP maybe?
And the under 21s have some big games themselves including one on Thursday
 
So a quick look at our current injuries sees the following 3 buckets

Hopefully just short term
Johnson (illness)
VDV (tightness in hamstring on return)
Moore (illness)

Suspensions
Bissouma - one game suspension (Saints)
Bentancur - back 26 Dec but able to play EL

Mid / Long Term
Venom - Feb / March?
Richi - Jan / Feb?
Davies - Jan?
Romero - Feb / March?
Odobert - late season?

We should be getting 4 or 5 of them back very quickly now. That's gotta help.

Which 3 do you think will be back quickly?
