Shame for the lad.  He's a good player but I think he's just had too many injury problems at a young age to succeed at the very top.  He must have some serious underlying issues to keep getting injured as often and as seriously as he does.

Must admit when I first saw it I just amused he'd clashed heads and had gone off with concussion as has happened a few times in his career.

What has he actually done?

Hopefully playing just one game a week will help us now but yeah Vlaar getting injured before a final would be a disaster for us as he's shown he's capable of great performances in big games for club and country.

Senderos is actually suppose to be training now so he needs to be put back on the bench.

I agree Soccer, I think Vlaar has shown he is a genuinely big game player. But he is so injury prone we are on a wing and a prayer now, unless Clark is not as bad as first thought.

Baker re-injured the knee he was out with before.

Wonder whether he is just too careless or brave and gets injured challenging for balls he shouldnt. Its a balance. Never known anyone get injured so much

Think he will need to learn how to avoid injuries and hiring coach like Allan Evans might help to reduce number of injuries in central defenders department. I mean the like of Paul McGrath and Gareth Southgate, Ugo Ehiogu and Olof Mellberg doesn't get many injuries as a Villa Player.

Senderos must be back at some point??!

We could see Sanchez back there at this rate

Sanchez looked real dodgy back there, we really need Senderos back but he too has no return date.

Hutton at CB would be an option though.

There's also Donacien who apart from Senderos is the only other centre half I can think of off the top of my head.

Isn't he out on loan at Tranmere?

I'm beginning to think that Nathan Baker is Legion's long lost son.

I'm not sure to be honest. He could well be on loan somewhere.

Donacien is still at Tranmere, and I don't think we can recall him until they have finished their season.

Any thought of calling up Toner? He's captaining the 21's, so he could be worth a go.

It's all in the surname.
