No chance of that mate with that kind of injury.

Anyway, it's a squad game these days. You have to expect injuries and have good replacements ready to come in. You can't over rely on one or two individuals in any position.

Unfortunately, our squad is full of shite.
 
How far away is Carrick? You would guess he will probably be rushed back as he is the closest like for like player we have to Herrera
 
Apparently he'll only miss Everton and maybe (probably) west brom. Should be back for Chelsea. Thank feck for the international break. Thankfully Carrick will be back soon, maybe even against Everton on the bench. Same with Jones.

Hopefully Pereira gets a chance now that Herrera is out though it will probably just be as a sub as he's still quite small physically.
 
This is a big blow.

Even if Carrick is back he will be a major downgrade. Herrera is a proper box to box player who is fine defensively, good passer and can actually create and score from central areas.

None of our other midfielders can actually do all of those things with the possible exception of Di Maria.

Herrera is already a key player and losing him has fecked us big time IMO.
 
:wenger: who is next ? RVP ? Rafael ?

Definitely Rafael - he's played three games in row now, he could breakdown any minute.

Given how Carrick is usually a slow starter even when he has a full pre-season, I'm not finding much in the way of consolation here. Unbelievable that this is his second injury after two months with us when his Bilbao injury record was so good.
 
big blow

the bad new keep coming and comin and coming. The last months are damn hard to bare for a United Fan. All started with that cnut Cakir to rob SAF his last CKL season. From then on its one hit in the face after another.

I'm so fecked up of this bullshit. We are making enough mistakes on our own recently, we don't need that feck luck in addition!
 
I thought the same earlier today, only a matter of minutes till he is out as well. Falcao knee injuy next on the agenda.
 
We have some really bad luck with injuries don't we?

Sorry to break it to you guys but if he has a genuine broken rib expect him out for a minimum of 6 weeks. The main issue with them is you are unable to do anything fitness wise so even if the pain clears up after a month or so he will need that little bit of extra time to get sharp and fit again. They really are a nasty injury you can't do anything for other than rest. I have suffered with bruised ribs from boxing and even they can take 3-4 weeks to fully clear up.
 
He was probably player of the month too. :(
 
That a real shitty blow for us. I would switch to a 4-2-3-1, drop Falcao or RVP, bring in Fletch or Carrick to sit beside Blind, and Mata, Di Maria and Januzaj to make the three behind the central striker. LVG wont do this though I'm sure, as he seems to want to play with 2 strikers at all times.
 
Christ on a bike, this lad was never injured at Athletic and he's already been injured twice here.

I'm convinced our training consists of our coaches using the players as real-life wrecking balls in order to battle out with each other.

Wasn't he injured in a tackle?

Untrue.


And I'd like to know what training methods avoid getting cracked ribs during tackles in matches.

Indeed, soon the question will be changed from how many players are injured to how many players are fit.
 
Valencia can do the role Herrera has played i guess ?

Sort of role he played few times last season like Sociedad away and also plays for his Country.

Well has more legs than Fletcher for it anyway for Everton type game.


If Fletcher plays we have to go 4-3-3 with 2 sitters.
 
Our attacking talent should be more than enough, anyway. If anything, having two sitters will be just what we need to fix our defensive problems in recent games.

Silver lining and all that.

I'm mostly disappointed because with Rooney out I would have really liked to see Herrera play a game or two behind the striker, though that may not have happened anyway.

Really though he's comfortably the best midfielder we have and considering our alternative is Fletcher, I fail to see a silver lining.
 
This is what i was dreading . More than Rooney's ban. Just when he was establishing himself.
 
2 goals in his last 2 games despite clearly not being at his best yet. I'd rather not replace him, personally.
Not saying we should replace him but he's easily replaced if he sustained an injury.

We could always play blind in his position, and having fellaini, protect the back 4
:lol: Do you guys realise how dreadful Fellaini and Valencia are?
 
Oh for god's sake. It's like we just can't catch a break at the moment. I'm really worried that having Fletcher or someone in for Herrera is going to seriously hinder our play.
 
Why not Lingaard to replace him? LVG obviously rates him after starting him in the first game, isn't he training again now?
 
feck West Ham and whichever cnut injured him.
