They were readying Baleba so I thought Dunk was done, but the way he ran of the pitch to do that waiting around thing they do after treatment everything looked ok. He probably then felt the injury more as he cooled down during half time, it might have stiffened up a bit too so they decided not...
For Milner at Liverpool (PL games only)
19-20 Made squad 27 times
20-21 Made squad 30 times
21-22 Made squad 32 times
22-23 Made squad 34 times.
So even if he didn't get that many mins on the pitch he was making the squad a lot of the time. The games he missed he tended to have an injury but I...
He was actually asked if they (Solly, Jack and Karou) would be ready for the start of pre-season. His reply was Solly wouldn't be. Solly got injured late October, they then had to delay surgery to repair the ACL till the start of December as they did surgery on his meniscus tear first...
Although players are more at risk of injury in games because of the combative nature of matches I am fairly certain more injuries occur in training than a match simply because they spend the vast majority of their time training.
Lets say, and this is probably on the conservative side, they...
We have plenty of scope to have a bigger squad though. Our named squad after the January transfer window was 20 players and two of them were Carl Rushworth and Mahmoud Dahoud who are both out on loan so could have been left out. That gives us 7 spaces that could have been filled without reaching...
Just because we wouldn't pay that for one player doesn't mean we wouldn't pay it for another. We will have limits for each individual target where they no longer become value for money, depending on what we think the potential of the player is, their age etc.
I doubt we'd have got KDH for £40m...
Squad list has been updated now to include Cam and BBB. Also Charlie Penman and Bailey Smith are on the b list as well. Not sure if either were included for the group games?

Barco is ineligible for the b list as you need to...
I don’t think we’ve named anywhere near the full 25 man squad since we’ve been in the PL, certainly not in recent seasons. Having more overage players would reduce game time and development for our younger players which goes against what Tony Bloom wants us to be as a club.
I’m not sure the...
Chelsea wanted to keep Tariq, they’d offered him a new deal but he had rejected it because he didn’t see a path to first team football. He was on the verge of signing a pre contract agreement with a French side that meant he’d leave in the summer for nothing so we jumped in and Chelsea had no...
He started against Forest but went off injured after 35 mins. That was his first appearance in the squad for 7 games, his last game before that was away to Marseille where he played the full 90 mins.
I'm not sure which game he was withdrawn from after the warm up though?
Dunk, Lamptey and Mitoma all in the video of the players walking/jogging out onto the pitches for training that the club posted today. If they are out training with the squad (or at least “on the grass” as the kids put it) then it’s a good sign none of them are out for too long and there could...
