Is Lukaku injured or is it just a minor niggle?

The Belgian NT reckon he might be back in time for the Cyprus match next Tuesday, so I'd say it's just a minor niggle. Seems like he picked it up at the perfect time; just as he was about to go on international duty and recovering just in time for the Liverpool match.

The club went to a serious amount of effort in the design of that trophy.

Fond memories of that place. Pound in, few cans of Fosters, quick sing song then off to buy the half and half scarf and a prawn panini.

"you Cantona collared it" doesn't really have the same ring to it

He was carrying a knock too and shouldn’t even have been played. Belgium already qualified and ****in Martinez risks him

Update on Fellaini.

No news about the extent of Marouane Fellaini's knee injury as yet, but he's definitely out for Belgium-Cyprus on Tuesday. So very uncertain for the weekend too.

Belgium were still pushing to be in pot 1 for the world cup.

Perfectly acceptable to play strongest side available.

Possibly but the pitch was a horror show. He was already complaining of a knock and should have been left out especially on that pitch

Wonder can we get pereira back. Will be missing Pogba and Fellaini now.

This is exactly why Jose was telling him to wait for his chance

We can call him back in January.

Ah ffs. Better not be ligament damage. We seem to be cursed with injuries.

Trigger

Has the length of Pogbas injury actually been confirmed. Maybe Jose playing it that he won’t be back when we will actually see him against liverpool

jayo26

I'd love to see mctominy getting chances and making the most of them.

While i don't blame Pereira for doing what he did he wanted first team football and it's ok for us to say now as injuries are coming it would be a bummer for him to see someone else take the chance and could really drive him on.

If Jose ends up playing midfield of Carrick and Herrera and matic and doesn't give mctominy any game time well then it will show Pereira made the right decision.

It will/would only reflect on how he feels about McTominay.

Unless he thinks Pereira is better than Mctominy surely ? In that case Periera would have gotten game time in these circumstances but Mctominy not...

J. Marston

Fúck Martinez anyway.

Belgium were qualified months ago. Play second stringers.

EH? Pereira is far better than mctominay. If mctominay doesnt get game time it means nothing with respect to pereira - just that mctominay isn't deemed good enough.

Nonsense.

They needed 6 points to be in pot 1 for the world cup draw.

Also they only qualified little over a month ago.

I'm apprehensive about it to be honest, he limited our play last season almost as much as he benefited it, I have no interest in regressing to last seasons struggles.

It will all depend on his role, if he is content to be the wild card option coming on when the time is right and in the right conditions then fine, thats a great option to have.

But if Jose makes changes just so that Zlatan can be "accommodated", well, no, I wouldn't be too happy.

Bit late on the reply here, but yes, that's basically the summation of it until we get to see the reality on his return.

Hopefully Zlatan will adapt to the team and its style rather than the other way around. Last season, we had no choice but persevere with Zlatan. Of course, his goals were hard to deny when he was scoring them, but when he was going through a bad patch we could have done with another option.

Now we have Lukaku. Barring him picking up a medium to long term injury, I can't see why we would have to use Zlatan as anything other than an option to rest and rotate Lukaku.

Zlatan returning and helping the team to see out a tough season, that would be great.

Zlatan returning, and Jose suddenly changing a (hopefully still) well-working unit to try and fit him in as a regular starter - Hopefully not.

But sure, we'll have to wait and see.

Congratulations! Always liked ya, Whatsisname. Now, make sure to secure yourself a comfortable, spacious abode. Somewhere around Deansgate or Salford would be perfect, with a spare room too. Don't go scrimping on the furnishings either - treat yourself, go for the Samsung 65-Inch 4K Ultra HD 9 Series, etc.

On a totally unrelated note, I'm heading over to a match soon.

Carrick and herrera are better than both so one of them will be playing anyway

Zlatan targeting the Arsenal game for his comeback.
Speaking of Arsenal, a certain paper saying they want Martial and the price mentioned is £50 million.I think they may add another £100 million to that figure to be even allowed ring Jose to try to ask about him.

pjohnson

Hindsight is great but Andreas couldn't predict the future. He knew he was last in the que and barring at least two injuries he wouldnt even make the bench.

I find it better that he wants to be playing rather than sitting on his hole.
