No idea why Cucurella was bought when we already had Chilwell fit again.

Two strong players in every position. Chilwell hit form so now he should play and Cucu should sit and watch for a while. This is the competition we need to arrive eventually at a strong XI that wins games.

Credit to Chillwell for not letting his head drop and instead showing to the coach what he can deliver.

Single handedly turned the game around for us in a matter of minutes.

Deserves to start the next few games.

Probably. Takes at least 3 months to recover from surgery. They will need to open up his thigh by the length of it and reattach the muscle and/or tendons. Worst cases I have heard of needed  years but those were old ppl. With a bit of luck Chilly misses not only the WC but also the euros in 2024. goddamn our luck

Raises questions as to how this could've been avoided.

There must be some complete fuckwits at the club to allow these level of hamstring injuries to occur on a regular basis.

[Mhsc 646]

We seem to be really good at signing injury prone players these days. People blaming Potter for this but come on, the lad has hardly played and it is not Potter's fault if a man tears his hamstring. Maybe even in preseason we shouldn't play our "real" players to help them stay fit too!

I was already calling France "questionable" as a contender, and will have to add England as questionable as well. The losses in the fullback positions alone will be hard to overcome.

Is there any comfirmation yet? All I see on the net is "fears of", "may have" "concerns that".

France think will be alright given their mental depth

Maybe... I just find it hard for them to cope without Kante (Pogba too to a lesser degree).

If that is the case, that is his season over. Didn't Barkley do this prior to signing for us? If I remember correctly that was around 12 months.

expected to be out for 3 months

Not as bad as feared. Obviously deverstating for him so I hope he is able to recover quickly and not dwell on the disappointment of missing out of the WC.
