Don't care if he's out for tomorrow but we damn well need him for Sunday

He looks to be in good shape - I know Dragusin took a long time to come back but that was from a different injury. I think we'll find he desperately wants to be back playing and think May, tyhe last month of the season, is as good a guess as anything else
If he still doing loading then you can pretty much forget this season.
Given the difficulty in getting accurate info, the forecast hasn't been too bad with the 5 players (Udogie, Romero, Palhinha, Gallagher and Van de Ven), expected back for Atletico or Notts Forest matches likely to be back according to latest missives from the club with the added bonus of Bergvall's early return from injury tempered by Solanke's (hopefully) minor issue taking him out of Atletico game along with Gallagher's virus so it should look like
Back for Atletico - Romero, Udogie, Bergvall
Back for Notts Forest - Palhinha ?, Van de Ven ?, Gallagher ? (plus Solanke ?, Richarlison)
I guess the question after that will be whether additional players return for Sunderland and other matches in April
Potter (Sweden manager) said at his Press Conference to announce his squad for March internationals Potter said: "Dejan is making progress but not as quickly as we would have liked."
The player thought he might be back after last September's internationals, whilst Frank said (after medic briefing) that he hoped to see him play before end of 2025 ...... so forecasting Dejan's return date is not one to bet on.
v Atletico - Udogie gets 24 mins, Bergvall gets 16 mins, Gallaagher gets 9 mins, Romero played 81 mins and Van de Ven 90 mins,
Good to see them all back, particularly those who have been out injured for some time.
Reported that Tudor said Solanke had a minor hip injury but likely to be back to face Notts Forest.
So the squad known to be fit tonight including all those who played tonight looks like
GK - Vicario, Kinsky Austin
CB - Romero, Van de Ven, Danso, Dragusin
FB - Porro, Udogie, Spence, Souza
CM - Gray, Sarr, Bergvall, Gallagher
Fwds - Kolo Muani, Tel, Simons
15 outfield players
Expected back for Notts Forest
CM - Palhinha
Fwds - Solanke, Richarlison
That brings us up to 18 outfield players being potentially available v Notts Forest
And then a 3 week international break before Sunderland on April 12 - the 3 week break maybe time to get a couple more players back ( Kudus, Bentancur, Bissouma, Kulusevski, Davies and/or Maddison - Odobert out until next season ?)

No words for our luck with injuries this season.
Its a 3 week international break, but no idea how many matches he might miss after that. I'd be inclined to consider Austin as well as Kinsky if a replacement GK is required.
Vicario's injury might be a reason for some goals conceded recently ?

I was wondering where our medical team from the Ange seasons went…
Good news. Looks like our medical team fucked off to Real Madrid

Quite a simple mistake to make.
Mbappe had mistakenly put his left shoe (labelled 'L') on his right foot, and right shoe (labelled 'R') on left foot. So doctors did the MRI on the leg with boot say 'L' thinking it was left leg, when actually it was the right.
Not doctors fault - player needed to be careful putting his shoes on correctly.
I'll close the door on the way out !
