I'd rather push on without him.
Build up a cohesive team/formation over the next 3 games ready for the dippers.... Their MF will only run rings around him anyway.
No Sherwood-style drubbings please....
Just in time for international friendlies. yay.
Good news is that Argentina has already announced their squad for October internationals ......and Lo Celso is not in it.
But Lamela and Foyth are....
Not if the club has any sense....I'd kick them both black and blue just before they were due to leave
Just when you think that the last two injured players might well be back fit before the end of the month, it looks like Hugo Lloris will be out for a while.
Might need to explore whether we can get an emergency GK in - as Liverpool have done when Allison injured earlier this season.
Otherwise we need to rely on Alfie Whiteman to make to have on the bench and potentially make his debut for his first professional match (only played in youth matches to date)
Please let this be true. Hugo is struggling like all our players but we need him. We need our captain.
Only injury surprise is Eriksen.
Question is when Lo Celso and Sessegnon have completed what will un effect be the preseason training which they missed out on.
Personally hopeful that as Lo Celso was close before last international break (before the injury v Chile) that he will be considered match fit within a week or two. No idea on Sessegnon
Hopefully this means we will start seeing Sessegnon rotate with Davies (maybe I am living in fantasy land thinking Rose is done but please let it be so).
I'd imagine we'll also see a attacking midfield rotation of Lamela/Lo Celso/Dele (again, hopefully no Eriksen).
Dier can hopefully get into form and be our DM, which would let a midfield of Ndombele, Sissoko/Winks be a bit more progressive.
Hopefully good things to come for the squad.
Generally agree, although I'd also like to see Skipp taking some minutes off Dier.
With Sessegnon the rumours were that Poch was going to start him as a forward (less risk if he loses the ball I'd guess, but given he's played 100 professional games that shouldn't be too much of a risk) before playing him as a LB. So really don't know what's going to happen. But no reason for him not to get minutes in both positions from time to time ? Agreed though our need is probably more at LB given Rose form, and we are pretty well covered at AM if Lo Celso plays AM rather than CM
