how low can some people get to tweet that story
Indeed. I thought April Fools Day 'jokes' were meant to be a). fun, and b). ludicrous. This is neither - it's nasty, and totally believeable, particularly with our injury record / luck in recent years. What a stupid shitty thing to post when AFD allows you to be so creative and have so much fun.
Amazing how highly Kudus ranks for season assists in the PL and he hasn’t played in months.
Getting him back for the run in w RDZ in charge actually gives me hope.

Kudus can single handedly win points for us as he did against Leeds, provides pace and momentum which we have lacked since he suffered the injury.
I dont understand other posters that completely dismiss Kudus, and of course he has faults but he remains our best winger.
De Zerbi went for him at Brighton
Then again Frank went for Brennen Johnson so
Post the International Break, it looks like these are the definitely fit players
GK - Kinsky Austin
CB - Romero, Van de Ven, Danso, Dragusin
FB - Porro, Udogie, Spence, Souza
CM - Gray, Bergvall, Gallagher, Palhinha
Fwds - Solanke, Richarlison, Kolo Muani, Tel, Simons
That's 17 fit outfield players
Injury doubt - Sarr (CM), possible shoulder injury, and Vicario (hernia ?)
Then there are players who might have become fit over the 3 week international break - Kudus, Bentancur, Maddison, Bissouma, Kulusevski, Davies - Odobert probably out until next season ?)
Perhaps 2 or 3 of those in bold might be fit for Sunderland or the next match to add to the squad above. But we may need to wait for until a week on Friday for the pre-match press conference to know which players are fit

Vic is out isn't he?
fair point - might be out for Sunderland
Agree x 100.
His flaws were because he was the only semblance of an attack we had under Frank’s awful setup.
And even then he had a couple of goals and 5 assists.
Our complete collapse coincided w his injury.
Could also see RDZ using him more centrally. (Tho I like the thought of he and Xavi both as creative forces)
Anyway, hoping we get good news on his injury recovery soon.
How did Sarr get injured FFS?
He will be out until Nov / Dec. ACLs are approx. 8+ month recovery times.
The system and style Frank played made all of our CMs look terrible. Look how we've dropped like a stone since he got injured.
Probably slipped in the shower or tripped down the stairs or caught his hand in the car door when shutting it.

So, this has to be sabotage
Club needs to hire an independent investigator to find out who in the club or medical team is compromised
This has been 3 years solid and i think we're on our third medical team in that time. Dont think there is some dastardly sleeper agent pulling the strings. Largely its the same injury prone players, Maddison, Richarlison, Udogie, Bentancur, later stage Ben Davies and a freak injury to Kulusevski. Few others on top of that which is fairly standard
