When he says important injury, i think it means a potentially serious and long term injury. I hope that is not true!
Probably his back injury.
:mourfacepalm:
It's really frustrating but I also just feel bad for him. I've been so anxious to see him get some more game time and continue his development, but he can't shake the injury problems right now.
I feel bad for him too. Unfortunately, part of youth development is dealing with their bodies growing and sometimes can result in injuries in those early years.
This boy has been really unlucky. Well I guess he is the new Ledley who said he was injured within mins of his first game and never recovered. My god how good would he have been
Just what is wrong with his back precisely?
I doubt if anyone has any real knowledge - club has not given out much info.
He missed re-start of PL said to be 'stress fracture of back' before reappearing on bench for last 3 games of the season but didn't come on.
Missed pre-season and start of this season begore coming back to play 70 mins v Chelsea in League cup, his substitution appeared to be tactical as he was replaced by Kane. Announced in E u21 squad before withdrawing and hasn't been seen since in a match squad but appeared to be seen back in training on an instagram picture from Dier. Recent absence described as a thigh injury by a journo (think it was Ally Gold).
If the back injury story was correct, it's possible its been recurring, but who knows. Unless JM gives more information out at a press conference, I suspect we will need to wait for him to suddenly be announced in a squad.
Frustrating for fans - probably even more so for the player who needs playing time and EL games likely to be an easier way to get back to full fitness.
Stress fracture of the back sounds very serious.
Thigh injury according to PhysioRoom.
Mourinho, in his press conference, also implied that this was a new injury, and the back issues are behind him (for now at least).
Seems to be getting a series of small injuries as he attempts to come back. Back, thigh, not sure what it is now. He's an explosive athlete so best play it safe with him.
Too soon to expect him to get even some minutes in if we gain comfortable lead in this game?
With 5 subs and either:
- a comfy win or
- a game to see out
....I could imagine that.
I bet he's glad to see the back of them.
Just restarted training, probably not match fit yet.
