Thiago Alcantara

[kev776]

Calf injury - back in training and may be ok for the weekend......we ****ing need him now

Milner, Keita, Fab, Thiago and Elliot all out.

Hendo - Jones - Ox is pretty grim.

I imagine we'll see a fair few kids on Weds night, plus Minamino, Div, Neco, Greek scouser etc.

Mid week surely we will be resting most (hopefully all our first team players) playing the likes of Kelleher, Williams, Gomez, Konate/Phillips, Tsimikas, Origi, Minamino, Gordon etc who knows what will happen in midfield though, really hope we keep those fit midfielders out of this one.

Hopefully Fabinho will be back for Brighton at the weekend...

I reckon Bradley and Morton will be in too. Perhaps we will try some defenders in midfield..? Tsimikas? Gomez? Taki as a false 9 etc. As you say, we need to protect the first teamers.

Watching Matip giraffe his way around midfield would be fun to watch. CB's in midfield is the new midfielders at CB

No match thread for Preston? We can't gloat much more

Dear lord, keep him fit for more than 5 minutes.

Dear lord, keep him fit for more than 5 minutes.

I had wondered, when I saw last night's midfield, whether at least two of Fab, Thiago and Naby were going to be fit for the weekend. Seemed a bit risky otherwise.

[Norbs]

He looks ready to snap

[greenturnip]

He could be useful when playing keep ball against BHA in the last 25 mins..or Atletico...

[Pablo]

What a player, can't wait to have him back

Looks good with hair too

[Fosterbloke]

Will a return to Atletico be too soon for him?

[greenturnip]

If he has 4/5 training sessions before Atleti, I would think that would be enough - at least for a sub appearance.
