ZAPHOD2319 4,818 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 1 hour ago, DDA said: Is Lukaku fit ? As up to date I have seen. We may know more at Tuchel's presser. Quote Romelu Lukaku returned early from international duty after confirming he has been struggling with a “minor thigh issue”. The Belgian is currently a doubt but will be assessed. Reece James is serving a three-match suspension after his red card against Liverpool, while Thiago Silva is also banned, as it stands. Christian Pulisic suffered a knock to his ankle when playing for the USA against Canada and is a doubt. DDA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoroccanBlue 5,382 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 If that footage is from today's training session, it appears he is fit. If injured, he would of been isolated doing his own rehabilitation individually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,957 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 How come James is suspended for three games? It was dogso so should be just 1 game, surely not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he wouldnt let them stretcher him off the pitch. Tried to straight leg limp run up the pitch, then the other way and collapsed. Probably did more damage ignoring the medical staff.

Pizy 18,911 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 All those salty opposition fans questioning why we were after Saul and here is the reason. And thank god we got him. Kante will be a constant injury risk throughout the season and must be handled carefully. Saul is going to get a lot of games. As for Pulisic, I’m sad to say this because I really like him (especially as a fellow American) but I’d cash in on him next summer. He’s injured more than any player I’ve ever seen. Tuchel can’t ever count on him at all because he’s always on the injury table. Every injury then sets him back and he has to fight his way back into contention to play. I’d use him as a makeweight with Dortmund if we are genuinely interested in Bellingham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoroccanBlue 5,382 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 10 days is nothing. It’s the muscular imbalance injuries that bother me. He hasn’t had one in a little while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn’t had one in a little while Yes, but it's getting quite annoying.. Every time he is getting, he gets some minor injury which makes him sidelined for 10-14 days, then returns with line lost. After a couple of substitution appearances he becomes sharp again, then the new knock/muscle problem/sprain comes again in no time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAPHOD2319 4,818 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 It has been over ten years since I read a lengthy study published in Sports Illustrated. Researchers followed the careers of promising NFL players to look at what would predict a player going from a good player, to developing into a great player. The one constant was a player's ability to heal quickly from small injuries and staying injury free. If you look at both Pulisic and Mount, Puli is the same player that came to Chelsea, a really good player with flashes of great play. Mount came a really good player and is on a steady climb to being a consistently great player. DDA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDA 9,940 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Hoping Ziyech will start this one. Have a feeling he will link up with Lukaku immediately and be a big factor in Romelu scoring a tonne of goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good as Alonso has been so far I really want Chilly to get up to speed. Been totally out in the wilderness since the CL final for some reason.
