Youri Tielemans

How often has Kamara done that though, it's not really his game.

How much of that is that his role in the team though? He's got a better shot and pass than his record might suggest but he's spent most of his time with us sitting deep. When he does push forward he always looks capable.

Maybe...I wonder does he ever feel (like Cash) that he's shackled to a degree and would like to have more creative license.

Disappointing news. I'm faily sure that UE said it was a "small' injury after the Everton away game and he would only be out up to a couple of weeks? A calf injury was mentioned.

On Sunday, Bogarde was taking up the positions that Kamara normally does which allowed Kamara a little more freedom?
He made  a few incisive passes against Fulham, whether he can against tougher opposition though.

Yep, exactly, Bogarde was obviously the one who sat deeper and that allowed Bouba to be much more progressive than he usually has been.

We did it a couple of times towards the end of last season as well when him and Onana did more of a one stays one goes thing.

Youri Tielemans has suffered a setback in his recovery from a calf injury. Set to be out for up to five weeks. Story @TheAthleticFC
 #AVFC

I wonder if he’s anywhere near a reappearance on Saturday. It does say, up to (5 weeks).

[OCD]

Haven't heard anything about him being back in training.

[Dante Lavelli]

I don't think there's a need to rush him back with Onana and Kamara showing signs of improvement (and Bogarde getting minutes too).

[OCD]

It would be good to have him back though.

Don't forget Barks.

[Somniloquism]

Haven't heard anything about him being back in training.

It was reported not expected until after the next international week when he had the recovery breakdown. So 2-3 weeks away if that is still the case.

Injury worse than originally thought? Can't be rushed back!

[DrGonzo]

It's great to be in a position, at least in one position, that we have genuinely strong cover.  Youri is such a crucial cog in our attacking movement, but we have managed to engineer this excellent run without him.  Still, I hope he's fit again soon as his passing is such an attribute.  Watkins is pining for him.

Ironically Onana/Kamara might be more effective than JT/Kamara against teams like Spurs and Man City.  We have less of the ball anyway and need his strength and better defensive qualities.
