Topic: Injury (and absence) related chat (so the news is kept in the other thread)

[The Final Third]

Apologies if already disclosed in the thread but what is Alisson's injury?

"Proper muscle injury" according to Jürgen - thought to be a grade 2 or 3 hamstring strain.

[Schmarn]

Why?!

Because Ali won’t be fit for the QF or SF it looks like and it would be tough on Kelleher to pull him for the final. I’m not the manager though so it’s only my opinion.

[mighty magpie]

Why's Ibou even being considered for the french squad if he's missing tomorrow due to injury?

Makes no sense and the club should follow what city are doing with KDB.

Keep playing him even though he’s clearly unfit and quite fat?

Fairly confident part of the reason him being missing tomorrow is so that he won't have to go and play for France.

Nunez felt his hamstring.

Diaz felt his groin.

Gakpo twisted ankle.

Happy days.

[Samie]

Good thing we don;t play fot two weeks and we have reinforcrments coming.

[MD1990]

Nunez felt his hamstring.

Diaz felt his groin.

Gakpo twisted ankle.

Happy days.

good get them off the International break

[Caston]

Jurgen Klopp:

• Luis Diaz “felt his groin”
• Darwin Nunez “felt his hamstring” but hopes it isn’t bad
• Also thinks Cody Gakpo has twisted his ankle

[Fromola]

If we're not pulling these players out of the internationals we're utter idiots. They're friendlies ffs.

[shook]

All 2 week injuries only

Hopefully this is just Klopp managing an international break when we are in a title run in.

[CS111]

Whos due back straight after the international break if anyone?

[Samie]

Trent, Jones, Jota, Bajcetic and Konate.

Ali might be a couple of weeks more.

[shook]

Trent, Jones, Jota, Bajcetic and Konate.

Ali might be a couple of weeks more.

Palace specifically for Ali?

[jillcwhomever]

Why does it take Ali so long to get over injuries?

[Nick110581]

Whos due back straight after the international break if anyone?

Jones.

The others are later.

[Anfield Kopite]

Whos due back straight after the international break if anyone?

Curtis

[Haggis36]

Do we normally do that though? City are at it every international break, but we tend not to fake/exaggerate injuries to pull players, and of all the players who'd be amenable to it, I imagine the South American lads would be last on that list - they're always desperate to play for their countries, friendly or not.

[Number 7]

If we're not pulling these players out of the internationals we're utter idiots. They're friendlies ffs.

Hopefully.
But I don’t think any of those 3 get pulled out.

It’s bewildering that Konate still hasn’t pulled out

[Ratboy3G]

No doubt they will all still get called up for their national sides and played ☹️

We are shooting ourselves in the foot if these players don't stay with the club..

News: Thiago was about to be declared fit but was shot in the foot, now out for 134 weeks.

[GreatEx]

Strange, for most people getting shot would make their outlook worse...

[Terry de Niro]

News: Thiago was about to be declared fit but was shot in the foot, now out for 134 weeks.

I kind of forgot he was still with us.

[actwithoutwords]

Has Jurgen/the club said something tangible about Alisson? Or just briefed as in the group of players back 'soon' after the break?

[him_15]

I think Jota's return would be the most vital for our remaining games.

[Samie]

Stepping up his training during this break.

[Knight]

Stepping up his training during this break.

Oh very nice.

[Egyptian36]

I had a dream Southgate sent Gomez back to us injured

[TepidT2O]

The usual international break carnage.


Robbo goes off for Scotland with an ankle injury anger being unable to carry on.

[cptrios]

Of $%@#ing course.

Robbo goes off for Scotland with an ankle injury anger being unable to carry on.

He tried to soldier on for another 5 mins or so, and didn't look too hobbly when coming off so hopefully not too bad! He should have come straight off, though. Glad Bradley came through unscathed!

[Mister Flip Flop]

Fucking international football 

[Dazzer23]

He tried to soldier on for another 5 mins or so, and didn't look too hobbly when coming off so hopefully not too bad! He should have come straight off, though. Glad Bradley came through unscathed!

I think it’s reaction more than anything. He didn’t react like it was just a knock, and he knows his own body.

[Nick110581]

If he knew his own body then he should have gone off immediately.

[ScubaSteve]

If he knew his own body then he should have gone off immediately.

He’s Scottish mate, country of club for him albeit he should’ve come off as soon as he got injured

Waste of time these internationals

FFS!

To be fair with Brighton having Dunk and some other tall players in their back line then starting Gomez at LB might be the best why to go for the match on Sunday.

Hopefully, it’s just a knock for Robbo and he will be fit for the weekend.

[amir87]

The smart thing would have been to come off as soon as he felt something. It was a pointless match and he's got a huge few months ahead that may now be in jeopardy.
