I think I’d prefer him to be playing our last two home games.

Never late in a V8
He was walking fine in trainers so maybe just a slight niggle.

How are we all getting on with that provision of evidence?
I think he was getting at the idea some folk have that there is something wrong with how they train, not that they do train. As pointed out, if it was due to the nature of the training the same thing would have happened last season.
20 hours a week training !

You could say that the short break between seasons, and the extra Europa games are the likely reasons, as they are the obvious differences in workload. Or you could say that these differences could have been compensated for with a less intense training schedule.
Maybe training has been a bit less demanding, I don't know, but for Hinshelwood to get stress fractures, he certainly has been overdoing what his body could take, that is an over use injury.
It’s less about the hours and more about the intensity of the work from a physiological perspective……if they’re being asked to do a relatively high % of training (cumulatively) full-on (as is rumoured to be the case at least) then the propensity to get injured goes up exponentially.

Yes - I’ve written off today’s game, but looking forward to Chelsea and Man United.
You didn’t offer him a lift, then!

Re Solly, De Zerbi said that he’s not running yet and so it’s probable he won’t be ready to start pre season training at the same time as the main squad. Sounds a timing issue to me rather than anything more serious, albeit I’m sure that they are being very cautious with him due to the previous knee injuries he’s had.
So glad you were wrong to do that
Pedro back for Chelsea (yay!), Veltman out (boo!) - as per presser.

Who's coming on for Lamptey when he gets injured halfway through the game? Are we then switching to a back three or forcing Gross back?

Odel Offiah I think might start

Apparently Barco is available -- I'd try him out at LM or LW, though perhaps as a substitute.

What the Van Hecke has happened to James Milner??
Will he ever be seen in an Albion shirt again??

He arrived here with the reputation of being arguably the fittest footballer in the world, and then the Albion effect kicked in almost instantly

Why oh why oh why?
In reality, he's not played very much Premier League football for the last few seasons, Liverpool included. He's played a similar number of PL minutes this season, albeit in fewer matches - i.e. more minutes per game on average.
Premier League minutes
2019/20: 926 minutes from 22 appearances (Liverpool)
2020/21: 1,060, 24 (Liverpool)
2021/22: 843, 24 (Liverpool)
2022/23: 893,31 (Liverpool)
2023/24: 778, 15 (Brighton)
He did play more football in other competitions for Liverpool but, he's 38 for goodness sake!

Were the Liverpool minutes because he was injured or because he was not being picked though?

Hope not, went cheap and didn’t get anything out of it. One day they may learn a lesson or two.
