Bruma had surgery on the 20th, so he should be back soon, although I couldn't give a date.

Yeah I thought he'd recently had surgery, lets hope he's back soon or it may have to be Essien at the back against the Hammers.

that is a massive blow that Ivanovic is injured!! Such a fucking coinsidence that everyone starts getting injured "after" deadline day! typical!

[Miguelito 459]

with the ivanovic thing. i think it's kind of weird to have 2-6 weeks. thats a huge difference. u would think they would no a lil better but i mean i dont know the full situation like the doctors do

Well there is no doubt about it... a Young Boy is going to play at CB... We better Score a lot of gol because we can lost our clear Golkeeper time next game...

Lampard fit for West Ham

In an interview yesterday, Ancelotti said, "For sure, Frank will be fit for the West Ham game."

Lampard will be fit, but our defence is crushed... We need very much luck And to score many goals to be sure that we get the 3 points...

As of now, only Ivanovic and Bosingwa look highly unlikely for the game, JT and Bruma will be available

100% sure on Bruma? he'll JUST be coming back from injury, could be better to pip Essien back there and have Ramires or Benayoun in midfield

[zolayes 14,489]

been such a stop start to the season ..it will be good when it settles down ,,,,need everyone fit soon

Mikel got injured in the Nigeria vs Madagascar game.Several source said that his knee was knocked.I heard he got carried out of the pitch.

He also delivered a lob for Nigeria's 2nd goal.

For fucks sake I hate international football.

[Madmax 9,219]

Official site says nothing about Mikel's injury in the international match report, but then again, they are slow with these things, or maybe they are waiting for confirmation of an injury.

In case we lose Mikel, I reckon Carlo will drop Essien back and will hand Bena a start alongside Lampsey. But things could be very interesting if Bruma/JT somehow can't start and Essien has to drop into defence.

It's lucky we're playing West Ham next week, as opposed to Arsenal, or Barcelona in the Champions League! I'm hoping Terry will be fit for Saturday, but if not, I imagine we'll see Bruma alongside Alex at the back.

The Mikel injury is an easy one to deal with; any one of Ramires, Benayoun or Zhirkov can come into the midfield. Personally I hope it's Yuri; we're phenomenal when we have Yuri, Ash, Flo and Nico all playing on the wings.
