Nah he played alright, was signalling to the bench on the 43rd minute and Kane went over to have a word with him, he struggled for those last few minutes at the end of the first half. Hopefully it was just a little knock he can walk off. I'm sure we'll find out in the pre-match conference though

Just watching the game again. The "injury" actually happened in the first minute when he took a knock on his ankle. He played on and looked to moving relatively freely. So I think it was just an impact injury and not a twist or anything and it was just a precaution to bring him off. Pretty certain he'll start.
Common Mousa......5 more games and then you can rest
Agree. However the only unknown is whether playing on he was over compensating which could upset the balance of hip. I sound like a nerd here but I've got a buggered hip/back and it only takes for me to get a blister on my foot to trigger something to upset my back. Also bigger/heavier players can put more stress on the injury. Again I'm talking potential bollocks here but I guess I'm preparing myself not to see him, rather than hope to see him if that makes sense.
Poch said knock was not serious.
Said the same about Lamela and Rose.....
An 8 game winning run in his absence is not a reason to deny his importance but for me one that says Davies is a very good option and also that our bigger needs are elsewhere in the squad.
I meant in the way that it'll be a fresh pair of legs. Everyone assumes the negative on this bloody forum...
Player of the year for me had he remained fit.
Getting worried about him. Still got same foot injury and cannot play 90 mins. What are they going to do? Can just see him coming back to pre season training, after a couple of weeks saying still hurts and having op and missing start of season. We already might have Lamela & Rose not fit for start of the season. They must do something now as this does not seem to be going away.
He's starting tonight mate.
Good to see him back, bossed the mid with Wanyama as always.
Was literally limping at the first whistle but toughed it out. Love Dembele.
Will see a specialist in the summer, hopefully it all gets sorted out but I see Winks moving ahead of him by the end of next season.
Mousa Dembele will this week undergo a planned procedure to resolve a persistent problem with his left foot.
The Belgium international will be unable to travel to Hong Kong for our fixture against Kitchee SC as a result, and is expected to return for pre-season.
Good news he will be back for pre season. not seen that reassurance for the other injured players, Lamela, Rose & Winks.

He'd still be better than that swivel-eyed gooner twat.They've amputated his foot?
this deserves two ratings - agree and funny!
