Makes you wonder given all the other players that ran for the door and seem to be fully fit now. Kante has had 14 starts - he has even scored!!! Is there anyone we sold recently that has any injury issues of more than a few games this season?

Yup, much like Robben. Amazing for 10-12 matches per season for us, ends up at Bayern where his hammies get a Winter break and voila, world class.

Lavia recently returned to training and is said be building up his fitness, think Poch spoke the other day saying he's about one week to 10 days away. Chukwumeka had a setback IIRC after returning to training a little while ago and not trained since, don't think he's expected back until after the new year.

Believe early Feb was earmarked as a possibly return date, whether that's just to training or for selection I don't know.

Kante in fairness plays in a two-bit league that operates at a fraction of the pace and intensity of the Premier League. 6 hours ago, bertles86 said: Pulisic, the man with Swiss cheese for hamstrings has started 20 games on the trot without even a niggle! He came off injured vs Napoli, then again a few days later in the Champions League match, seeing him then miss the two next league matches around the Oct/Nov period. Definitely hasn't been niggle free, much less started 20 games on the trot. Also doesn't complete 90 minutes very often, despite now playing in a slower less demanding league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Pulisic is also playing CL every game. Not sure why I am replying to this though, I pointed out that all our players that left have suddenly found full fitness, @bertles86 added Pulisic's amazing run of games, and your response is lower leagues (for some). The point remains - they are fully fit and playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kelly Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Sami Mokbel tweeting that James is off to Finland to have hamstring injury that will take four months to mend. Looks like he'll be in top top condition when we sell him to Madrid in the summer . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sciatika Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 (edited) Why would he go to Finland for a hamstring injury when he does that so well here? Personally, I think he is off to ask Santa for a wish. Someone should tell him that Santa has moved to Norway.

Believe it's the same guy that did Osumane Dembele's hamstring op, who has since managed to stay fit without further issues so that hopefully bodes well for James. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was mentioned after the Newcastle game and probably part of why he came off early, not a surprise he's set to miss the Wolves match and possibly more. Hopefully something that won't keep him out for too long. Rough that whenever we get one or two players back, we lose one or two in return.
