What's the usual recovery for this ? 4 weeks ?

Depends what it is. Was it dislocated or not?  Maybe it’s broken? Could be a collar bone?
Time will tell

[I've been a good boy]

All for a pointless match no-one will even remember this time next week.

[kop306]

do we need a left back or a left sided centre back to play in the new system

kostas is a good backup

scanlon or luke chambers to get the europa league games

[SamLad]

Gomez can play LB also.

. “Andy has hurt his shoulder. He will go back to his club now.”

Suitably vague….

Cant break your shoulder it a ball and socket joint.
Collarbone could be broken. Could Be dislocated shoulder or even an A/C Joint injury

[Number 7]

He couldn’t even name the club.

[Bobinhood]

Well according to the transfer thread this summer he was way past his prime, long since missing a step, totally unsuited to The Formation and needed to be replaced immediately by just about any random left footed centre back who might turn out be ok some day, because he was ready for the knackers in football terms, no way back end of discussion.

so i guess we wont miss him at all.

I mean its true , other than his stellar defending and all action attacking and wicked set pieces and motivational hunger and desire and upbeat presence in the dressing room, he's not that important really.

 

[Number 7]

Dislocated shoulder as per James Pearce.

Bad news.

[Robinred]

International breaks eh?

I’m interested to know what the current schedule of matches for our best players, who combine club, cup and international football, means for their ability to maintain peak performance.

UEFA and FIFA don’t appear to be at all interested in player welfare. Or am I wrong?

[Too early for flapjacks?]

Seem to remember Momo Sissoko missing a couple of months with a dislocated shoulder. Hopefully it's not that serious.

It’s rare, as most of the time it’s dislocation but the bones can still fragment

[4pool]

Luke Chambers will probably be called up to the senior side.

[Number 7]

Palhinha had a dislocated shoulder in late July and was back playing on August 19th.

Scan will reveal everything.

[RedG13]

Yea that can happen on part of it. It just matter of how fast he can get the shoulder stable enough where it doesn't impact his running and jumping for dislocated shoulder.
Hopefully Chambers get a chance. I want to see what he can do.

[stoopid yank]

Depends how bad it is, it can take months.

yeah - I'm seeing 12-16 weeks.  That's most of the #$%^ing season.

[Keith Lard]

Shit news, but we have a strong deputy in Tsimikas that should be able to slot straight in and is hungry for a run in the team.

[ScubaSteve]

He hasn’t exactly been a stand out player of the season so far. Will be a massive loss still but tsimikas can do the job

[spider-neil]

Time to use Gomez at right back (or left back) with Konate and VVD have more of a defensively solid back three and fully commit to the box midfield with Trent and Mac as a double pivot.

You wish.
It will be Tsimikas no matter what.
Luckily we're not playing top teams, but it sure won't be easy.

[Qston]

Spanish player dislocates the shoulder of a Liverpool player. Now where have I heard that before

God I hate the international breaks. We only just had one a few weeks ago. Just get on with the league season FFS

[killer-heels]

If we need our first choice left back to beat the likes of Everton, Brentford, Luton and Forest then we have a lot more bigger problems.

[Gus 1855]

If it is a dislocated shoulder, it can be pretty minor if it went in and out again or can be far far more serious. When I did mine for the first time I was out of action for 2-3 months, subsequent times I could have played again after 2-3 weeks.

Instinct based on how he reacted...it isn't a terrible one. But, we'll see...fingers crossed.

He'll be fine, I saw this documentary once where a guy popped it right back in and carried on, Lethal Weapon it was called

[spider-neil]

And he did it underwater.

Then carried on fighting Jet Li.

[tubby]

If he's out for a long time, I think we'll start to see just how much he'll be missed.  He's a level above Tsimikas.

[Legs]

He is a leader and Everton is one game I would want him selected for that.

Injuries happen but it always pisses me off when its not on our watch.

[kaesarsosei]

The good news is, it could hardly have happened at a better time. He misses another week of internationals, then the Derby which is a blow, but then we have 3 league games we can definitely make do without.

Probably the bigger problem is whether Tsimikas can withstand playing twice a week for at least a month, that's an unknown.

[PhilV]

I really do hate internationals at times.

Tsimikas not have to as Chambers will play EL games ?

That isnt in doubt. Personally I dont think Tsimikas is very good at all and definitely a left back should be a player we target next summer.

[Lee1-6Liv]

Tsimikas is ok going forward but defensively he's not a patch on Robbo.

[sminp]

It’ll probably be Tsimikas but I think Gomez could be quite a useful replacement as he’s more suited to shifting into a back 3 when Trent moves into midfield.

brother in law played football to a good standard in Dublin, he had it happen him loads, eventually used to click it back in place himself, it used to even happen on holidays, got to the stage where it was regular and it wouldnt even bother him, just moved his arms about and he was fine. no time off

With some people though its bad, im sure weve all seen people click it back in and they scream the place down.

I think it happened Dudek just after we won the champions league, he was out about 3 months

[Cafe De Paris]

Could we not play Joe on the left.

[pathetic]

I think playing Gomez would be a better option than Tsimikas. I like Tsimikas but this formation doesn't suit him at all to be honest unless he can be the inverting full back but it doesn't make any sense if Trent is available.

If Tsimikas can't play now, then there's no point having him in the squad. People go on about him as if he's a pub player. He's actually a better footballer than Robbo (Robbo is a better athlete).

I don't think so, you don't rack up Robbo's assist numbers unless you're an excellent footballer. I've actually thought Tsimikas has been disappointing almost every time he's played this year, but if we just gave him a new contract Klopp must rate him and that's good enough for me. Hopefully, Chambers will get some time in the cups.
