Emergency Ward 10 - The Injuries Thread

[niallers]

Would a year out of Europe be such a bad thing, squad wise? Like leaving a field lie fallow,our longer term members could do with 1 game a week for most of the season. Proper go at the league then, depending on incoming additions of course.

The proper European Cup or nothing. It's our only hope of competing domestically. Even if we were playing a second string side, having to play Thursdays would still destroy our chance of momentum. 

 

Still, our injury bay is putting together a nice, balanced little side: Konate, Van Dijk, Arthur, Jota, Firmino, Diaz. I reckon they'd still beat the rest of the squad in a practice match even now. 

 

Just realised Arsenal are running away with the league despite playing Thursdays. Still, I've no confidence that we could mix both.

The uefa cup next season might be our best route back into the european cup.

 

If it ends up we are indeed in it we should not turn our noses up at it and it is better than no european footy at all and as say it could represent our best chance of getting back in the european cup - if we miss out this season.

 

Should be able to negotiate the group stage without using key men and that gives valuable game time to fringe players/kids.

I am not saying I don't trust Jurgen's pronouncements on injuries, but he suggested Gianluca Vialli would be back in full training before the Brighton cup game.

I heard him say he fully expects Jean-Michel Ferri to recover from invisibleitis for the Real Madrid 2nd leg

Elisha Scott will be back in time for the Madrid game!

[Reckoner]

These guys make Jan Molby look like Mr Dependable. A serious fuck up from Klopp ( and others) this season, he’s got it completely wrong I reckon, probably why the club doctor fell out with him. Red zone, green zone… blah blah , fuck off.

Even our out on loan players don't heal after injuries!!

Things that annoy:

- our players getting injured

- the sheer volume of injuries

- the sheer frequency of injuries

- short-term knocks turning into long-term absences

- the fitness and medical department seemingly being gutted of experience and expertise

- injury news getting leaked on Twitter

- the club updating on injuries about 3 weeks later

 

There might be some more.

Ahh Fri - the day we get to hear who has been put out of action at Kirkby this week....bar the inevitable one who suddenly after no mention today is out of the squad tomorrow.

“Generally it’s looking better. The boys are training, Diogo Jota had a full session with the team this week but then the next day had again a rehab session, not because of the session the day before, it was just part of the plan. I think he will be back in normal training next week.

 

“Bobby is getting closer obviously, very good. Luis is running now, it will take a few weeks still but he is now out on the pitch as well running, which is really good. 

 

“Ibou is out. Virgil is getting closer, but not ready for the [Wolves] game obviously. Parts of training, I think, next week as well for Virgil. I think there is nothing else so far, but there’s still two hours before training so a lot can happen.

[Razoray]

Looking ahead to the Madrid game, there is a good chance that Jota will get game time next weekend and Virgil will play v Newcastle. Firmino should also be available. 

 

Madrid have had a few injuries over the past few weeks but most are back. Alaba Vasquez and Mendy are still out while Militao and Benzema went off injured last night. I don't know how serious they were.

Maybe it’s dietary… If I’ve been eating rubbish I seem to be more prone to little tears or tendonitis.

I mean, what could go wrong in an hour of Rollerball and an hour of Nunchuk Challenge.

[LFC 6 Times]

Get Jota, Virgil and Bobby ready in next few weeks and hopefully Diaz in next month or so and we could salvage something from this horrific season.

A season out of Europe allows the owners to let keita and Chamberlain leave, extend milner for one more season and go with what remains of the current midfield. Maybe get someone new if they can flog fabinho.

Arthur is back. Living his life one day at a time. And showing himself a pretty good time.

Liverpool's preparations for Monday's Merseyside derby clash with Everton continued at the AXA Training Centre on Thursday afternoon.

 

The Reds undertook their latest session in Kirkby ahead of the Premier League encounter at Anfield.

 

Four of Jürgen Klopp's senior players made a return to the training pitch after injury lay-offs, with Diogo Jota, Virgil van Dijk, Roberto Firmino and Arthur Melo all taking part ahead of the fixture.

Thiago Alcantara was not pictured during training and was instead undertaking his own individual training programme

.

With four days to go until the Merseyside derby, Thiago was working towards his own tailored regime ahead of what is expected to be a return to team training later this week.

 

 

 

See you in April, Thiago lad...

He's worried in case the squad's shitness is contagious.
