Will Joe be available for selection at the weekend?

Will he wear a Chel-met like the keeper?

Shouldn't that be Cech-lmet? :D

I'd be surprised if he does play. It looked as though he had a lot of stitches. We have enough cover provided Mikel and Ballack are fit. Best to give him another week to recover.

Ballack won't be fit - Mikel not sure about yet.

I think Kalou will be in for Cole.

Will we have enough men to even put a team out on the pitch Saturday? What a difference a couple of weeks make. Jeez...

i reckon he will play

got a nasty looking cut but he doesnt use his head that much, so he'll be ok to play

lol, at least we have pretty much a fully fit defence.

We can just play Hilario up front...

he says on the official site he's fit and raring to go

is there no statutory stand down time for concussion in football? i know there is in rugby, but im not sure if it exists in football.

i suppose if he gets the go ahead from the club doctor then there will be no problem

i'm not sure if there are any specific rules regarding head injuries

No, it is only in rugby - I think the logic is that there is a lot more pressure on the head in rugby as men who should know better pass the time with their heads placed in areas that are rarely cleaned properly.

thats why i played full back or centre, kept my head well away from them areas at all times.

Yeah, I was crap at headers as well :angry:
