I don’t know. I’m imagining them being really, really thin right now. Like a Jacob’s Cracker.

Think wafer crackers & you're a quarter of the way there...

I'll be more concerned if Torres and Ramsey are still unavailable for the Newcastle game. If you've a couple of players who've been out for a while, it's easier for Unai to say they're still unavailable rather than they're fit but he'd rather have them fresh for the league game in 4 days' time.

Same here but I fear it’s not the case.

Yep, that's why I stopped myself from posting it the first time.

Ramsey just rebroke the same bone I thought, which strongly suggests it wasn’t fully healed.

Yep, and sometimes no amount of scans and X-rays will show up a weakness.

From what I can gather Torres isn't training atm so can't see him playing against Newcastle.

Exactly. Normally you wouldn't get as far along as he did before there were clear signs of problems but any recovery plan will have provision for setbacks.

Being a bit pedeantic, it wasn't really a set back, it was the exact same injury again, and he was out for even longer than he was when he did it first time round.

Almost certainly because the time he had out after the first time was shown not to be long enough.

I know, that's the point I was making in the first place.

He was in the video on the training pitch, posted by Pravda, from before the Everton game.  You didn't see him doing any contact training.  So is he isn't training now he must have aggravated his injury.
