Injuries Thread :ilt:

[Niall_Quinn]

Don’t know if he misses the United or Chelsea games said at least a month and United game is a month tomorrow

With the exception of Tomiyasu who really needs to be got rid of in the summer, players have usually not been out longer than they have been predicted to be, some have even been back sooner.

I hate to say it but he’s hardly been that influential this season. He’s always been one of my favourite players because of his raw pace but frankly too often the effort to beat his man is just not there.

He may not be banging in the goals but he covers a hell of a lot of ground during a match. The ground Sterling won't cover.

It’s not the lack of goals, it’s the overall lack of contribution. Running around a lot is one thing but whatever one says about Havertz he makes himself available. Martinelli my biggest frustration about him for a long time is how he has the chance to take on his man but chooses to cut inside into a crowded centre…why…is he worried about being kicked?

MAybe somebody else is worried about him being kicked? And why wouldn't they? We really are, genuinely down to 4 front players now, for the title and PL run-in. It's extraordinary, stunning.

he did get kicked and now he's out

[Niall_Quinn]

Won't be the last either. Tough business a title run-in, especially with the CL piled on top. And we have to do it with less than zero margin to spare when it comes to injuries. Crazy.

[Marc Overmars]

I think Martinelli is just following instructions to be honest. Players like him need to be able to stretch their legs and retain a bit of unpredictability and chaos. You think Klopp ever instructed Mane to look inside for an extra pass?

Martinelli is a counter attacking player in a possession based team, the styles don’t match. Saying that, he has no excuse for his timid finishing, he used to be quite confident in front of goal but now rarely seems to shoot instinctively.

very much, a bit like Pepe

but yes he should be better in front of goal

[HCZ_Reborn]

Havertz is injured now

[Marc Overmars]

Another hamstring apparently but it is unconfirmed for now.

Embarrassing for the club really and if he is out for an extended period then we are truly fucked.

[HCZ_Reborn]

It’s the irony of a club that is risk averse actually unwittingly taking risk

You can’t really even call it unlucky because soft tissue injuries are the kind of things that can happen when you are playing someone more than you might otherwise
