Joel Matip

[aRdja]

 

He’s gonna miss Saints, Burnley and United. We aren’t going to buy. 

[Jairzinho]

Yep. No need. In three weeks time we'll have one fit first team centreback...for a few days, probably. Why would we sign another one?

[sir roger]

Groin /abductor injuries are buggers to shift because they are almost impossible to rest because everything you do affects them. In short I will give a tenner to charity if Joel is back before February.

[Lee909]

He will be broke again by February

Have we(not you Barry,the royal 'we') also decided that Joe Gomez is not just 'unlucky' with injuries too?

He gets different types of injury, but there's no doubt he can't stay fit either. He seems to have a major injury in every season. I was saying 18 months ago when we had lovren, matip and gomez I would happily let any 2 of them go to bring in someone who is capable of staying fit. It's such a crucial part of the pitch to want to keep some stability and consistency in selection.

He might come back and then be out injured again before Feb!

No way he's out for 3 weeks. End of Jan comes bet he's "close" but not ready

Yep, that is three weeks on the Thiago calendar.

[magicrat]

Whether he's back or not he's never going to see out the season without more lay offs. Huge pressure on Fabhino to stay fit . Phillips and Williams are well below the standard required and given they both have the pace of an injured snail the only conclusion is we have to bring in a CB but that looks unlikely given the cost and availability of anyone Klopp would consider can slot in and hit the ground running. I am in no doubt this is a problem that could very easily ruin our title chances .

Yeah. Klopp says "around 3 weeks". My guess is 4 or 5 before he's even considered for the bench. There are a few big games in January, so we really could do with bringing someone in as quickly and clinically as we did with Fabinho.

[KevieG]

It doesn't matter if he is fit in 3 weeks or 4 weeks as he'll be injured again within a fortnight. 

 

Buy someone. We are a fabinho injury away from falling out of the top 4

[m0e]

It doesn't matter who's injured and when they're coming back, we're playing the best number 6 in the world at centre back, for fuck's sake.

 

Get 2 or 3 new centre backs in and stop fucking around.

[Kevin D]

Hmm.

Just now, Kevin D said:

Hmm.

Back for the CL game.

In the post match interview, Klopp said it "looked like something serious".

Back for Sunday, went off with shock at @Codeasking him to play 5 games in a row.

Haha it was a big ask I know. 

[Lee909]

Ankle ligamemts apparently 

 

 

 

 

[No2]

He was good while he lasted.

[niallers]

I wonder did he grow up in an actual bubble. He makes quavers look like carbon titanium mixed with tungsten diamond. We needed 2 cb's in Jan let alone 1. We're fucked if we don't get somebody in now

[Babb'sBurstNad]

He'll end the season with fewer minutes than Van Dijk.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Ankle ligaments, apparently.
