Lucas

[Baracus]

whatever the injury, being out that long is not good news. Essien and Owen Hargreaves have continued to suffer badly since bad knee injuries and both play a similar role and have failed to recover from what I saw as potentially if not world class players.

[Baracus]

A plus side, we are meant to have the best sports doctor/director at the club, maybe he can finally work his aussie magic and rub Lucas better. Magic Sponge it you *******s!!! I getting with our luck.

It's a bad injury in football no doubt. Most would prefer a clean break.

[Slinky Skills]

No confirmed news but Shelvey's recall and Suarez's tweet wishing him a recovery would indicate that it's not good news.

Feel awful for him, without a doubt he's been our most consistent player this season and probably last season too.

Devastated, you worry that he will never quite be right again after a cruciate ligament injury if that's what it is.

The recall of Shelvey would certainly suggest it's months rather than weeks

We shouldn't have sold Christian 'destroyer' Poulsen.

As far as I know Poulsen can't get in the Evian team

FFS, this makes me angry. Kenny voiced concern about playing games so close together, he has to play Lucas as we want to win a trophy and have little else to fill the DM position, and this happens.

**** off Football league. I wanted us to win this competition but if they can't respect the clubs that are in it, it deserves to be treated with ****ing contempt.

Rant over.

[RichC]

2 big games in 48 hours was ridiculous

[Roboklopp]

Agree with your rant mate, but it's a collision rather than fatigue injury, so it's probably not immediately relevant to this.

We rotated as much as we could but im pretty sure playing two games in 3 days can't have helped.

FA are to blame for this IMO.....why couldnt we have played tonight for example? Oh yeah Spurs are at home in the Europa Lg, why the **** arent they playing on Thursday by the way?

He played whole of 6 games now for Evian.

Oh and Christian Poulsen fun fact no #2: he is only the second player in the history of football to play in the big-5 leages in Europe (Germany, Spain, Italy, England and France)!

[Shaggy]

6 games

Presumably he's been fit? Sub most weeks?
