What an absolute joke.

Injured on duty with the U21s.

I just don’t feckin believe this. It’s insane

No, please, no.... Such a promising start, then it all turns to sh*t. f****** hell.

We don't have a choice, if they're called up they have to go.

Or do a Ben White.

Doesn't the club get compensated for this? Chilwell and Carney were hardly fit. 

Honestly though, the last place I want our players to be recovering their fitness is at our ground. We either have an incompetent medical staff/facilities or we're just plainly cursed at this point.

The club just needs to say the player is injured. Fergie used to do it all the time - it's why Giggs only got 64 caps for Wales. Current Chelsea are a bunch of soft mugs in comparison.

If we do then they cant play in the next club fixture anyway, unless they are assessed by the national coaching staff.

Ah, I didn't realise that was a thing. I'm sure the players could fake a limp or something - they all do it on the pitch enough to try and get a free kick or to waste time.

We can do it but won't be easy with an English international. Big clubs do it all the time with players from African or South American countries. I think more African though. Fergie had the clout to do it with Giggs too.

Fergie is one of the reasons Scholes turned his back on his country at the age of 29. That and he knew Lampard was by far the better player and he'd always be in his shadow. 

How did he get injured?

I don't think he even played did he?

Would like to see him start tomorrow. Super player on the ball.

Gallagher or Stirling .. 🙂 

both..would still be better.

Certainly could play carney in place of one of the three mids. More likely he will get another 30 minutes. 

Injured again.

Shesh. Him and our medical team are a bad combination.

Our medical team and virtually any player with a pulse are a bad combination. This season these players have all had long term injuries: Sanchez, Badiashile, Fofana, Colwill, Chalobah, James, Gusto, Chilwell, Cucurella, Lavia, Chukwuemeka, Enzo, Ugochukwu and Nkunku.

Absolutely nuts.
