• Surely we deserve some good news with injuries and he’s ok. I pray they don’t say a few weeks because we all know what that means.

• Hope he doesn't have an injury again and that it was a precautionary substitution.

  Pau Torres will have scan after struggling with a "small pain" at the back of his leg in the first half of Aston Villa's win over Nottingham Forest.
  
  He was replaced by Calum Chambers only as a precaution and Unai Emery isn't too concerned.

• “Small pain” was how Brentford was described wasn’t it? Please be nothing.

• I imagine every player comes off the pitch with a small pain.

  I hope it's nothing but.....
  We will need him badly at home to Spurs.

• Going to Luton with Chambers/Lenglet as a CB partnership it looks like. Not sure any PL club is down to their 5th and 6th choices but to be fair to Lenglet, he is performing a lot better than I expected he would.

• Why do you need a scan if it’s just a precaution?

• TBF, Lenglet has played regularly at the top Spanish team and in the Champions League, so it isn't like we were getting an unknown person from Sarkovia. However his first League* games  was with Torres injured. So I expect having to get used to the Prem pace and how we play suddenly in the last 9 games hasn't been the best intro. Same with Torres not looking like a good "strong" defender after being thrown in when Mings was injured.
  
  *I'm aware he played for Spurs last season, but that was 7 months gap in league games and different styles.

  He reported a pain at half time but could have played on. We took him off as a precaution and want a scan to see if anything unforeseen might be causing the pain.

• Fair enough - just for once let it be nothing, and hopefully he’s just a bit of edge after the recent injury.
