The way he clutched the back of his knee reminded me of the way Solly reacted to his injury at Liverpool. Immediate, sharp pain, hand to back of knee. I’m no doctor/physio but this is a potential reaction to a meniscus tear which can happen when an ACL goes. I know it’s wrong to speculate too much but the ice on the knee suggests this too. What a shame for the player and us frankly.
Aren’t we all going a bit OTT considering he wasn’t ever going to walk straight into he starting 11 and we haven’t even got a game for another 7 weeks?
No, we're concerned. That alright with you?
So that’s Moder and Moises on the crock’s bench within a week. Midfield suddenly looks a bit light.
Not the best challenge involving Villa's Douglas Luiz.
I couldn't believe the trainer allowed him to come back on. I imagine the Albion medical team won't be happy about that.
I feel certain he will make the Prem squad and been a useful bench option. He didn't get carted off to hospital and simply had some ice on his knee, so hopefully won't be more than a couple of weeks out. However, If the club is intent on selling Biss then we'll ned to buy, and we could do worse than Sander Berge of Sheff Utd.
