[Judge Fredd]

A virus, someone suggested it was glandular fever... I don't know what info they had on the illness but it's plausible.

Evans says Charlie Taylor will be out for two to three weeks. #lufc

What's wrong with Charlie, ? didn't quite catch it when Adam Pope was doing his round up of the press conference .

He was reported to have caught Glandular fever hence why he missed saturdays game.

I saw the glandular fever thing whilst I was at the game on Saturday, but it didn't sound like that was what Adam Pope said. Anyway, thanks for information

If it's glandular fever he could be out for a good number of weeks/couple of months. Your spleen gets enlarged with this fever and you are not allowed to be involved in contact sports. Any clash/impact could put you in massive trouble.

I really hope this isn't the reason for Taylor being out as it is really bad news for him - and us!

I don't know if the treatment for Glandular Fever has improved over the years, but I contracted it in the 70's and though I was back on my feet in a bit over a week the doctor insisted on at least three months of rest before he would declare me fit again and checking it out back then i found some cases of people who had been off for nearly six months. It's a nasty virus with plenty of side effects, one being that it stops your body absorbing vitamins properly for a period and in unlucky cases sterility. Watch who you kiss!

Bianchi starts for the U21s today.

..... as does Sloth, Philips and Doukara. Strong team and an opportunity for these guys to put themselves forward for Thursday. Hope Bianchi comes through this test. He'd be an nice extra option, as would Sloth imo.

I'm hoping that Walters' absence from the team is because he is finally going to be given an opportunity by Evans on Thursday - perhaps after some advice from a Mr. Redfearn. Walters was the wide forward Rosler's 4-3-3 needed to function, but Rosler was too cowardly and conservative with his team selection to be bold and give a youngster their first team debut.
