Just seen this, typical.

Sad for Enock that he misses the rest of the season. I can't wait to see what he can do if he as an injury free season next time.

Meanwhile, we've still got about 8 midfielders we can select from so we'll be ok.

Boooo! That's the chance of European football gone then!!

 

[Mellotron]

Shame.

Hoping against hope that's not the last we've seen of that fantastic midfield trio - Biss, Mwepu, Caicedo.

 

[Swansman]

Sad to see that, but finally this start-stop season ends for him and that could perhaps be a good thing - bit of rest, bit of rehab, bit of pre-season and then hopefully avoiding this number of injuries next season.

We are safe and I really really want to have Mwepu with us next season.
So I'm not too upset to have him out of the limelight just ahead of the transfer window opening.

0% chance of him going anywhere regardless if he had played those games or not.

If it isn't suspensions (ie. Biss) then it's little injuries like this keeping us from putting that trio out every week, frustrating! It's amazing we've done as well as we have this season when you consider how many different variations of our central defence and central midfield we've been forced to put out - never really having a settled spine beyond a handful of matches. There was a long time under Hughton where you knew it was Dunk & Duffy lining up behind Propper & Stephens and anything else would've been odd.

Side note, does anyone recall Mwepu arriving with any sort of history of injury problems at Salzburg? Had it in my head he was of the more robust type.

Has he been labelled a sick note yet ? Missed more games than our ‘so called’ sick notes hasn’t he?

Let us hope the same applies to Webbo, who, before his series of injuries was having a very good season.
He’s been another one with a stop start season.

In the squad for Sunday, hopefully not just for the walk around at the end.

Which is contrary to Sky Sports News …who are saying he’s out….I think we’ll go by GP’s press con…which as you say means he’s in the squad

Good news...

Mwepu, Zambia's captain, scored the equalizer today in the AFCON qualifier against Comoros.

Zambia edged it 2-1 with the winner coming in the 88th minute.

Random fact - Zambia are in a group of 4 teams including the Ivory Coast who'll host the event in 2023.

This means that only 1 team from Zambia, Comoros and Lesotho will qualify from the group as Ivory Coast will qualify regardless.

Enock's goal is at 4:52.

A lovely finish. The lad certainly has a goal in him
