Boubacar Kamara - out for the season

[Ian.]

We're basically down to the first time we had last season. Excellent.

Dendoncker will start at Leeds.

He'll need to look a bit sharper than he did against Southampton. For a defensive midfielder to play nearly 30 mins when we're defending a 1-0 lead and touch the ball 4 times, it's a bit odd.

I don’t understand why he isn’t already sharp. Wasn’t he playing for Wolves in and out of their first team?

I'm starting to think this injury shite isn't just bad luck. Nobody can be this unlucky, FFS.

Does anybody know what the injury is or how bad it actually is? Weird that the club is wishing him a speedy recovery on social media without confirming what is actually wrong with the lad!?

No, probably including the club.

Perhaps they are awaiting some additional medical info before confirming what it is or timescales. It’ll be a knee injury of some type as this is what he twisted.

Hopefully we’ve moved on from the mystery Grealish , will he won’t be rubbish

Exactly, it's very rare that you get the confirmation on ligament/musckle injuries until a few days afterwards. That's why the official twitter comment doesn't really mean much yet.

Didn't Barry Fry piss on our corner-flags in 1993 while cackling manically?

*Micah Richards may as well have done the same between 2015-2018

[PeterWithe]

He’s been brilliant, exactly what we needed. A real shame if he’s out as he won’t be here long when he fit again

[Richard E]

Until there’s a photo of him on Twitter stoically doing a thumbs up with his leg in some sort of cast or strapping there’s still hope.

Let's be realistic, it's us and a new signing. Therefor it will be a medium to long term injury and he'll come back a different player.

[cdbearsfan]

If he's available for the Liverpool game on Boxing Day, I'll be surprised. Wouldn't be at all surprised if he isn't in the squad for the final game of the season against Brighton.

[N'ZMAV]

that'll be his world cup over if it's a bad one

Signing for the Villa pretty much did that. Right now we'll be lucky to see two Villa players there; Emi and Cash. Bouba and Digne were dropped from the French squad, Mings and Watkins forgotten by England, same with Coutinho and Dougie for Brazil.

[cdbearsfan]

Dendonker and Bednarek have a chance.

[Ger Regan]

Is this another case of a clearly injured player being allowed to continue and likely doing more damage? What the hell are our physios up to?

It's not unusual for a player to try to run off a knock though. Unless it's clear early on that a player can't go on the medical staff will usually be guided by the how the player feels.

[paul_e]

Until we know what he's actually done it's just speculation, there are plenty of injuries that 'feel' like you can run it off but after 5-10minutes you realise it's just not right.

There was the Spurs player (Doherty?) who Cash tackled/brutally attempted murder on. He played on for about 15 minutes.
