What was the point in keeping Spence around only to use our best performing, and most injury prone CB minutes in a taxing position? I’m not surprised his hamstrings are falling apart, he has to make so many recovery sprints for us. Our whole system is based on having his recovery pace to bail us out. Worrying times ahead.

I do agree it is pointless playing him left back just to accomodate Dragusin in a league cup game

Werner wasn't going to track back either and just left him one-on-one

Good to see VDV on the pitch at the end.

Whilst I partly get it, you can tell from mannerisms etc that Pep really doesn’t give a shit about this cup does he. It’s a bonus prize for him.

It’s the scum in the next round, you just know it.

No question it’s their 4th priority.

Take a look at this clip, does it kind of look like he's feeling his hammy pre-game? Hope he wasn't carrying anything cause if so it was a huge mistake for him to play

Never played them in a final in our history

Fourth hamstring injury in three years.

Though the timescale on days missed has shortened every single time.

First one in 2022 for Wolfsburg, he was out for 78 days and missed 14 games.

Second one last year he missed 54 days and 12 games.

Third one earlier this year he missed 18 days and 4 games.

Luckily we got an international break coming up

It looked like a tweak rather than a pull too so hopefully it was partly precautionary.

Crazy really when you think about it.

Bunch of semi-finals though…

Hopefully but this number of hamstring injuries isn’t good. He’s obviously in need of some careful game management which with our squad he might not get.

It’s a concern for sure.

EXACTLY!!!

They're saving it for this season, to raise the profile of the competition!!

If we both go through, we'll avoid eachother in the Semis...

Guaranteed!

What’s worse is when you only have 3 reliable centre backs and you play them all… 1 injury and you’ve got major issues when competing in multiple competitions.

Hope so but when he went off in agony against Chelsea he was seen smiling and doing light exercises the next day only to later be confirmed he was going to be out for several months. With him walking on the pitch at the end then best case scenario is probably 3-4 weeks?
