Fuck sake!!

[Milan 17,878]

Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed he has no fresh additions to the squad for the trip to Ajax on Friday, and will be without Alex for a month due to a thigh injury.

Full story

FUCK!

Defence is getting weaker by the day!

[Duppy Conqueror 1,494]

Bruma won`t be going on loan then and we may end up keeping Carvalho..unless Carlo is confident enough in the ability of Mancienne or Van Aanholt to play CB for us. starting CB`s will be JT and Ivanovic obviously..

And another one goes on the list...... :censored:

[NattyBlue 44]

I think we'll be fine, 2 league games at the beginning won't hurt us hopefully

[Manuf 1,448]

Chance for Bruma/Hutchinson for RB and I think Ivanovic will step up on the CB if we sell Carvalho.

If not, I think we'll see:

--Ivanovic--Carvalho--Terry--Cole--

[Madmax 9,219]

Oh boy. Here we got with the injuries again...

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

Looks like we are going to have another injury plagued season.

Agreed. We have a surplus of defenders, so we're okay with this injury.

[Term-X 7,891]

typical, although bruma will step up.

[Rambo 1,729]

Does this mean Ivanovic will pair with JT with Bosingwa on the right?

[Madmax 9,219]

Does this mean Ivanovic will pair with JT with Bosingwa on the right?

Your guess is as good as mine, but depends on whether Carvalho stays, whether Bos is fit enough to return for the league opener, so on and so forth.

[Duppy Conqueror 1,494]

Does this mean Ivanovic will pair with JT with Bosingwa on the right?

Carlo did say just after we won the double that Ivanovic done very well at RB but he sees him as a CB for us . with Bos it depends when he returns..for the time being it`s likely to be Hutchinson or Bruma... but Bruma will probably play CB against Ajax with Cork or Hutch at RB.

Again it's only a month, and will only miss a game or 2 of the season! Defence is going to be interesting for Ajax though. Have heard nothing of Hutchinson for a while so not sure what is happening with him, but i guess it will be a back 4 of Cork-Bruma-Van Aanholt-Bertrand...

CTV said the full squad will be available for the trip to Germany so Ivanovic and JT back then, no real problems unless more injuries are picked up, but these are just small injuries and are going to cause minimal problems.
