Hammy again. f***!

 

Fernando Torres and Fabio Aurelio both face short spells on the sidelines after picking up injuries against Marseille on Wednesday night.

Both players underwent scans at Melwood earlier today after picking up hamstring and calf strains respectively during the 1-0 Champions League victory.

 

A club spokesman confirmed: "Fernando has a strain in his right hamstring and will be out of action for between two and three weeks.

 

"Fabio has a calf strain in his left leg and will be out for two weeks."

F***. No way we can take a chance and rush him back. Don't want this to be a long term problem. Luckily it hasn't completely torn yet. Give him until the Christmas games just to be sure.

He should only miss two PL games. But the bigger issue getting up and running for the arsenal game, looks like by then he'll just be starting off on his run of acclimitising games.

Ah balls..

 

Promote Insua and get Babel up with Keane on Monday.

 

I'd give Masch a rest. Looks f***ed.

 

Talking of promoting youngsters, hopefully this could give Rafa a reason to have Nemeth on the bench vs West Ham. He's 20 in a few weeks, he needs to be given a chance.

He's only played 20 minutes as a sub all season. He isn't fit.

Are we mis-handling his injury? this is the third time he's been out with a hamstring injury this season, or is it just the tricky nature of these injuries?

 

Feck. Why couldn't this be happening to Ronaldo instead?

As bad news as it is I wouldn't have been too concerned if we didn't look to be collectively stuttering somewhat. That said we clearly have the personnel to cope in this situation as evidenced earlier in the season. A lot of players need to up their game now.

Keane really needs to get his game together. or Kuyt up front with babel on the right. we have options, but we need players to stand up and be counted

 

Too right..

 

Babel would wanna step up now and start showing the talent we all know he has.

 

Do agree with having Nemeth on the bench.

He's a lot more the finished article than N'Gog.

I have a funny feeling Keane might react well to this. Must have looked like he wasn't going to get much of a look-in for the foreseeables with his finishing not doing much to justify his place, especially given his lack of understanding with Torres.

 

Depends on the Gunga Din caveat, of course, but it could be extremely focusing for him.

If he'd played a few games I would agree but he only got a few minutes the other night for the reserves unfortunately I think this has come a few games too soon.

I would guess probably the former due to the latter. It's definitely a very difficult injury to manage. The majority of recurrences come about due to inadequate rehabilitation and perhaps more siginficantly a rehabilitation that is simply too rapid. I don't think it's difficult to imagine that in a game where the stakes are as high as they are in top level football that injured players are brought back into action before they are 100% injury free. That's not to say they are playing with pain. If you decrease the stride length on your injured leg (subconciously), you would protect the hamstring at the expense of absolute speed but if you lapse out of this, the potential for reinjury is there.

He was clearly not fit last night and maybe should of been withdrawn earlier.

We have lots of options to play upfront, in this order:

Keane, Kuyt, Babel, Ngog, Nemeth, Voronin (recalled). :)
