Pulled a hamstring in training. Been our best midfielder this season so that's a bummer.

Assume he'll be out until Leicester post international break at least.

Injury - too much football or just bad luck?  Big loss - his industry is second to none (well, maybe Kante), his dribbling thru the lines excellent, and he's added assists this year.  One of those names I never worry when I see on the team sheet.  Hurry back.

So when is Kovacic back in action? Seems like everytime he is injured and we get an estimated return date, then you can add several weeks or months ontop of that..

He's been ruled out with no return date. As it turns out the conspiracy wasn't against Pulisic, but just against anybody with a Slavic name.

According to the ever-reliable PhysioRoom/PremierInjuries: Nov 19: "Mateo, that will take more days until he is ready and will miss more matches."

Look at that difference in win percentage and that's without the West Ham game.
We desperately need Kovacic back in the team.

He gets an injury like this every year. He is worse than Kante for it.

 

That's great news. He is still riding high up in the PL assists charts for the season, despite being injured for what seems like forever LOL. Should be good news for our forwards.

Yep, he was in the form of his life before his injury. Hopefully it doesn't take too long for him to get back to his best, because he was playing that well that even Kante was being pushed out at times.

His first training session back and hes now got Covid, i give up.

FFS ... :-) 

Self-isolating due to covid now. Hahaha you couldn't make it up! Again Saul and RLC on midfield ? Great news for Zenit and Leeds...

It never rains but it pours

Another 2 weeks then, ffs

Not good but lets hope he has a mild case and is able to continue training in isolation so that he return in a couple of weeks. also hoping none of the other squad members picked it up. Both Brentford and Spuds have multiple players with confirmed cases.

Or just unleash this beast in center midfield and watch all the rest crumble.

I would agree if we had Livramento or Lamptey still here, but on his current form we simply would lose far too much from wingback especially with Chilwell out already.
