Fabinho could also play there. **** it, even Henderson could. If they have VVD next to them then it will be okay.

The thing is VVD must have been due for rotation also and now he can’t. We need to manage his time carefully also.

Nat Phillips your time has come!

Looked great in pre-season. Would imagine he will at least get a start in the FA Cup.

Just goes to show how much strength in depth is required these days.

[McDermotX]

Great. ****ing deadly news.

[Scratch]

The only positive to this injury "crisis" is it comes in an area that we have good cover, so we have that on our side.

Wrong analogy

[Fosterbloke]

Lovren is back which is just as well. Otherwise Milner, Fabinho, Henderson or Robertson could fill in there. Let's be honest, we dominate little teams so well they won't get many options to have a go at us.

We could also go to a back three..

[Fuzzy]

So Nat Phillips is injured

[kubrickscube]

Reckon Fabinho could slot in without that much disruption

[Charly]

One of two positions Milner has never played (goalie being the other).

It is a worry. Vvd is an excellent leader, and improves whomever he is alongside. If we lose him we are ****ed though.

lovren/VVD in big games, Fab to step in against ****e ( BHA, wolves x 2 & NEWC) gomez&/or matip back for CP. job done (hopefully)

[Rigadon]

Losing Gomez and Matip for six weeks is so unlucky. Need Lovren to step up.

Do we have any options in the Youth set up ?

I wondering if Fabinho could turn out to be an option

Don't see why not, he's a good full back, can jump well and judge the flight of the ball, and can tackle effectively.
