Is it hamstring or groin? Either way he'll be out for a few weeks

 

[AlexUTD]

Fecking useless friendlies..

 

[Mickeza]

Guardian said it was his ankle, that he landed awkwardly but it didn't look too bad. Anyone shed anymore light on this?

He’s on the bench with an ice pack on his groin/thigh so unfortunately I think it’s muscular.

 

[CallyRed]

Bailly and Lindelof back together

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

He was walking around fine at the end though, so hope its not as serious as presumed.

 

[DickDastardly]

Phil fecking Jones to the rescue.

 

[SamVimes]

Yeah saw that. He looked to be walking alright and didn't look in any discomfort.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

 

[Majima]

We're as much all over the place with Varane, as we were without him, so what's the difference?

 

[kouroux]

Probably precaution more than anything else as France still has qualifiers

 

[A-man]

Thought he had a, well maybe not bad game, but not really good either. His passing was a bit off, he mistimed some situations and was overplayed and gave away some freekicks. The injury looked very awkward, was a nothing situation really. I thought it looked like his ankle but on tv they talked about hamstrings or groin.

 

[BlueHaze]

So we are heading into the toughest run of fixtures for the entire season without Maguire & Varane?

 

[FootyGirl88]

He looks fine to me

 

[RonaldoVII]

We're as much all over the place with Varane, as we were without him, so what's the difference?

Bit of an odd take given he's looked solid for us at worst.

 

[dwd]

He looks fine to me

Hope that isn’t a sling.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

He's been very good. There's many reasons why we've looked vulnerable defensively including Maguire and Shaw being horribly out of form.

 

[Majima]

Bit of an odd take given he's looked solid for us at worst.

Varane has been quality personified. But it's all for nothing when there's no clear defensive system in place, and everyone around him is brain dead.

 

[suheilsworld]

Hope he’s fit for the pool game. I think De God will have to be his best against Leicester and Atalanta

 

[11101]

I hope its nothing serious. He looked shaky all game so hopefully it was a precaution more than anything.

 

[GueRed]

Bit of an odd take given he's looked solid for us at worst.

Lets be honest Varane's had a shakey start.

In fact the whole defence has looked suspect.

I think they just need more time to work together....just a shame injuries/suspension has been/continues to be a big disruption.

That's football.

 

[stevoc]

No when Eric plays we can be way more all over the place.

Everybody was kung fu fighting....

Has he? He's looked the best defender we have to me.

No defender on earth is going to be flawless when they have players running freely at them all game.

 

[devilish]

Injuries are natural in football. Its time like these that the manager's tactical and coaching brilliance come to play. Ole will need to find ways how to succeed despite these hurdles.

It's those rose tinted glasses, you know. Alot of empty phrases, like "world class", "didn't put a foot wrong" after games when the performance can't say the same.

 

[Ayoba]

Saw this quote after France won the nation's final:

"Varane has never lost a final of any competition in which he has played"

I'm sure we'll take care of that stat

 

[Devil may care]

Hopefully it's nothing too serious, Lindelof has been playing well but I'm not confident of him and Bailly as a partnership.

 

[Chaky_Best]

Was poor yesterday before his injury, and it looks hamstring rather than groin. The way he touched the ball and went down it's looks like it.

And usually, depending of the grade, it can be up to 4 weeks off.

It's a fantastic news as we all know that Bailly will get hurt in 2-3 games so we will finish with Lindelof-Jones

I'd prefer McTominay at the back before Jones starts. More so if it keeps him away from the midfield.

Do you watch our games?

 

[Ayoba]

Abductor injury apparently, if true thats minimum 2 weeks, a more severe tear and its 4-6 weeks.

[steve88]
