Saw a quote from Emery that it “wasn’t a big injury”

Minor compound fracture.

Accidental decapitation, out forever.

Our shitty luck.
To be fair he said that about Emi Martinez and he was right

He was in his sliders chatting to Allison at the final whistle. No crutches, a boot or even ice.

I imagine they're not going to take any risks whatsoever with him.

Good, the South American games always worry me. Emi has got to play in altitude at La Paz apparently, so knowing our luck will be struck down with altitude sickness or the bends or something!

Fingers crossed he’s ok. We need his physicality.

What injury does Carlos actually have? Emery said it's 'not a big injury' is a bit vague.

He wasn't being selected even before his original injury - he's only ever played Olympic football for Brazil.

He's just going in for the amputation now.

UE said Diego Carlos will return to training next week which is just what we need right now. He can act as a leader of the defence in Tyrone's absence. I'd like to see him in a back 3 alongside Konsa and Torres  with Cash and Moreno pushed further forward as wing backs. This formation worked really well at Burnley giving the defence more physicality. Carlos might well make the bench against Everton and return against Brighton.

cash is crap as a wing back.
I hate 3 at the back.

I really don't like seeing us play 3 at the back. I always worry we'll overload the side where the ball is with that sides WB and CB getting sucked in, the 2 other CBs folding in towards the ball and the opposite sides WB open to a 2 on 1 if the ball is switched. It's also more confusing for the midfielders running towards their own goal to know what the CBs are going to do.

4-3-3 or 4-4-2 please
