I'm more optimistic about this game than I have been during our injury crises in recent years where it has been our attack that's been decimated.
As long as Maddison's available we can still put out arguably our strongest midfield and attack, and so we can mitigate the defensive absences by controlling possession and focussing on scoring more goals than the opposition.
In recent season's our attack has been hit by injuries, leaving us toothless and even more focused on defence than usual, no matter how long we'd hold out, you'd know that eventually we'd concede and the chances of getting something back would be minimal.
This is a much less depressing prospect. If we can get through this one, then we get Udogie back for Villa and then it's just one game (City...) until Romero is back.
ange already pretty much confirmed it was a knock and he didn't want to risk it.
I'm hoping he's subbed off tomorrow and then pulls out of international duty.
He barely trains, has an ankle problem and his thigh is strapped up most games. The guy needs a rest. We're basically wrapping him in cotton wool at this point.
embarrassing. these social media idiots are completely out of touch.
Hopefully Maddison has trained today and will tomorrow.
I agree with what others are saying, having our full midfield and attack available is a huge bonus, as it won't change how we approach the game. There's a chance none of the back 4 from Monday will be available, but Ange has 5 days with whoever he chooses to get them prepared, I trust him.

Yea, you must be so smart to start a guy who has an injury.One of the most creative players in the prem, we leave on the bench until we are struggling.
Go away and think about that for a while.
You must have love Conte and he doesn't give a crap about our players health.
Very smart guy you are.
Leeds fans are in love with Rodon, did we make a mistake or is top player in the Championship his natural level? He was great for Swansea in that league as well.
He is nowhere near good enough let's hope they have tge money to buy him.
Anyone with 2 spare tickets drop me a message please
Would they not have been doing that anyway?
Considering that is how we have played every game this season.
Probably easier to beat without VDV but it's not like they will only now start working on it.
O'Neill is decent tbf and a bit like Ange in wanting to play his way regardless of the opponent.
Their fwd line is weakened and our defense is weakened; which kinda cancels things out.
Their strength is their MF.... So is ours. Win the MF battle and we have the quality up top to get the job done.

It's not just VDV missing but Romero too. They'll be practicing more than ever to beat our defenive high line.
Hopefully that means they pay less attention to stopping Son, Maddison, Deki and Johnson
It's the championship. Solanke is a top striker there.
I'm not going to agrue with that!
