All three centre backs out for the season.

How’s your luck

[cdav]

Thank fuck we got 2 defenders in tonight.

How long will they last in that cursed position?!?!

[Guz-kop]

Imagine having your three center backs all out for the season with injuries in January. Genuinely never seen anything like it.

Should have planned ahead etc etc or some bullshit

Gutted for him and the whole team. Unbelievable to lose 3 top centre backs like this

[robertobaggio37]

Apparently his visit to specialist resulted in the worst case scenario. Done his all ligaments I presume?

[Kopenhagen]

So much for people saying we're moving Fabinho back into midfield.

[Dim Glas]

It’s just utterly bonkers isn’t it, 3 senior centre backs, all out with season ending injuries (most likely).

[jillcwhomever]

Gutting for Joel and us. 

[AmanShah21]

It explains why we got 2 centrebacks instead of 1 now. Really smart to keep that under wraps because I know Kabak's price would have gone up by another 10 million if that was known. Does confirm that we'll see the new lads play much sooner than expected. Davies'll probably start against brighton cause Kabak has quarantine.

[Wabaloolah]

Unbelievable that, can see why we kept that news under wraps, we just can't catch a break unfortunately

[RedKenWah]

Imagine not signing a CB and having this news... 

Does explain our business today somewhat... ah well at least we’re not rushing Joel Matip back now.

he doesn't have quarantine, he's exempt as he's an elite athlete

[Kopenhagen]

Davies'll probably start against brighton cause Kabak has quarantine.

Is this true?

[Bread]

So that's all of our senior CBs from the start of the season suffering ending-season injuries before the February mark. All of them.

If that isn't the worst luck in Premier League history, I don't know what is.

[wige]

Gutted for Joel. A brilliant player.

Quotes from Klopp are interesting - suggesting that the repetitive injuries might be solved with proper treatment, rest and preparation - cites his Schalke time and fact he rarely missed a game. Not something that had to be said in that statement. Fingers crossed, would be great if we could get the Matip back that played a big portion of the 18/19 season.

[DelTrotter]

Fuck sake, thought the manager sounded optimistic the other day after all but guess that kinda sums up Joel and his injuries! Shit for us but must be terrible for him. Such a shame as he's world class.

[Wabaloolah]

How did he do the injury as I didn't notice anything happen on the field

[GreatEx]

Just when I thought we were getting some positional depth... Even kidded myself that Fabinho would play in midfield some time. Oh well, at least Hendo might get a run.

[Wabaloolah]

Is this true?

no

[ShatnersBassoon]

How did he do the injury as I didn't notice anything happen on the field

when challenging Son it says. he played on afterwards

[planet-terror]

Gutting for him. Quality player.
Get well soon

[Wabaloolah]

you can see why he said what he did though

Amazing to think we've already played 12 different combinations at centre back, and now with 2 new players we could have a few more.

Fabinho Kabak
Fabinho Davies
Davies Kabak
Hendo Kabak
Hendo Davies
Phillips Davies
Phillips Kabak
Williams Kabak
Williams Davies

Potentially 9 more combinations. Insane run of bad luck for one position

[Dr. Beaker]

That’s the best part of 5 months out with an ankle ligament injury. 

I don’t know if I’ve seen that before... must have ruptured it completely ...

Blimey.. can’t catch a break.

He can.

[CHOPPER]

Its the knackers yard for you, me lad-oh.

[DangerScouse]

Fuck sake, big blow.

[Studgotelli]

Fucking hell get well soon lad how shit to lose all 3 CBS to season ending injuries.

[macmanamanaman]

This was my starting 11 for the Rehab Cup.
I feel more than justified in including Matip there. Definitely a mainstay of this team. Can infact build my team around him.

          H.Kewell  D. Sturridge   
A.Lallana J. Redknapp  N.Keita J.Litmanen
F. Aurelio D.Agger J.Matip R.Jones
              C. Kirkland

Subs: A.Aquilani, A.O.Chamberlain, J. Gomez

A side so good, and everyone in this fantasy world beng so durable,  that it needs just 3 subs.

[jizzspunk]

Davies'll probably start against brighton cause Kabak has quarantine.

Zero chance Davies starts against Brighton...

[Simplexity]

We were really lucky he got injured when he did. A week later and we would have been stuffed.

[Samio]

We couldn’t have one sound sleep, content with our new signings...

Unbelievable.

[Fromola]

At least we know what we're dealing with. In for a game out for a month with him was getting us nowhere either.

Little chance of Fabinho in midfield now though.

[Crosby Nick]

Fucking hell talk about bad luck. I wonder how long we were sitting on that news, certainly while we were getting the transfers sorted anyway.

[Big Dirk]

Fuck sake, thought the manager sounded optimistic the other day after all but guess that kinda sums up Joel and his injuries! Shit for us but must be terrible for him. Such a shame as he's world class.

He was obviously spoofing to keep the price down for the two new boys😎

Somewhere in Switzerland, Phillip Degen is reading this and crying.

[macmanamanaman]

you can see why he said what he did though

Klopp while he said Matips injury was less serious than initially thought

[HeartAndSoul]

We were really lucky he got injured when he did. A week later and we would have been stuffed.

Yeah really don't think the plan was to buy anyone till the summer. Think we were happy with matip fabinho hendo Phillips and Williams.

Could be a blessing in disguise this injury cause we know he would have had a couple more niggles till the end of the season.

[Dr. Beaker]

Zero chance Davies starts against Brighton...

Hell be in fitness oblivion for the next six months.

[Dim Glas]

Fucking hell talk about bad luck. I wonder how long we were sitting on that news, certainly while we were getting the transfers sorted anyway.

yeah defo, maybe that’s why Kloppo backtracked on his initial comment too. Needed to get things sorted first.

[Crosby Nick]

Somewhere in Switzerland, Phillip Degen is reading this and crying.

Late withdrawal. Felt something in the warm up.

[Kekule]

Fucking hell, this is nuts.  I’ve never known anything like it.
