[Albion] Injury Situation

[Lethargic]

As a slight aside I have a feeling that injuries will have a larger impact on the league this year than normal seasons. Could have a significant impact on some teams with smaller squads.

I am not directly linking this to our injuries I think we will cope better than a lot of teams.

I was hoping we’d get more than 44 minutes out of Lallana before his injuries come back to haunt him. Could be a long few years on 55k/week...

I really liked the look of Lallana and feel he’s exactly what we need in midfield , hope it’s not too serious.

 

[Originunknown]

Lallana walked off without any issue which suggests the problem is muscular and aggravated by high load and sprints. Likely a pull or small tear in hammy.

He should be back in a matter of weeks.

 

[martin tyler]

Think Lallana injury was just tightness. He knows he can’t play through that sort of thing without making it worse. Likely a few weeks.
White either be back straight away or some small ligament damage and 4-6 weeks out the side

At least they are positions where we do have cover.

Yep. I was worried when Zouma (accidentally) stamped on Maupay's foot last night.

 

[Machiavelli]

White jarred his knee blocking a shot. Hopefully not a ligament strain but I think it was. He looked very assured tonight.

Who knows with Lallana.

Maupay turned his ankle too and seemed off the pace. He may be out for Newcastle too.

I don't know whether I hope Maupay was injured after having his achilles/ankle trodden on by Zouma. Obviously we're in big trouble if he is injured, but if he wasn't, his form has dropped quite dramatically. I'm a big fan of his, but that was a poor performance.

3 goals in 23 games he's been crap for a while.

Desperately need 2 more strikers.

He really hasn't. Can you list the number of strikers that finished in the bottom half of the table last season that got into double figures? Try that, and then reflect on it.
And just to deflate your expectations: we won't get two new strikers for the first team squad.

 

[Napper]

Got to say been lucky with injuries for years now. Hope its not our time like Norwich had last season.

If Lallana is longer term then we have time to get another in maybe.

The striker situation is a joke , lets face it. Walking a tightrope like last night with 2 strikers in the squad is schoolboy stuff. Hope thats addressed ASAP. 1 should of come in for the first game.

White my feeling is will be fine.

According to Naylor

Potter says it's too early to assess the extent of injuries to Lallana (cramping) and White (ankle). He's hopeful they are not too bad.
Mac Allister's absence from the 18 was selection, not injury.
Propper (Achilles) is training

Was just about to post that, good news hopefully!

It's not worth reasoning. One of the regular doom-merchants.

Troy deeney , pukki , Chris wood.

I'm sure we won't sign two either. But it's just not good enough. We started with five strikers last season. Why has our squad suddenly been cut down so much without reinforcements?

Maupay did look off the pace last night and couldn't really hold the ball up. Much prefer to see him play off a bigger man but we all know we are looking for forward additions. Hopefully he will be fine for Sunday, if not then Connolly will cover in the short term. Like others have said, I just hope Lallana is not the new Paul Kitson.

Have we? I think we've had our fair share over the past few seasons, particularly if you go back to 2015/16!

Good news on both.

At the time I thought White had tweaked his knee and that would probably have meant ligaments, (I know ankle can too, but generally quicker to heal).

 

[blue-shifted]

In terms of cover ...

White. I've total confidence in Veltman to come in and play in that spot ... or Burn to come in and shuffle Webby back.

Lallana. Clearly we don't have anyone with that pedigree, but Gross, MacAllister and maybe soon Davy can vie for that place. I'm not concerned

White has real pace, he dug both Dunk and Webster out a couple of times when they got a little caught on the turn. He reads the game very well. Impressive first PL start for him.
