LUFCTALK

In the 1950's you would put an elastoplast on it and play the next week. Mollycoddled these days.

So the walking wounded are Koch, Phillips, Bamford, Ayling & Junior Firpo wonder who’ll be back for next weekends game against Wolves ?

I hope some of the non injured that played yesterday are back for Wolves as well. I know any side missing those players would feel it but boy do we them back.

Raphinha.......

Is Shackleton injured as well ? Presumably Raphinha will be fit for Norwich ? At least Phillips is back.

I assume Shackleton was rested last night ahead of the Norwich game.

Do we know what is actually wrong with Paddy, he seems to have been out for ages

Ankle injury, got whacked on it last game he played and was limping badly.
Taking longer than had been hoped.

I once had an ankle injury (right ankle). It swelled up like a football. The following Saturday, it was still so swollen that I couldn't get my boot on, (lots of strapping on too) so the manager cut a large 'V' shape down the side of my boot and I was able to get it on. Played 90 minutes and only ever kicked with my left foot. (could kick with both feet).
I suppose you can understand the caution these days, with the huge investment clubs have with players but sometimes it does feel as if it provides a handy rest period for players.
