Pau Torres

[Ian.]

That’s some good news. We’ve really missed him.

[Mister E]

Interesting that Diaby hit a slump when Pau went missing. Diaby thrives on quick balls out of defence and Pau is able to see that type of pass. Hopefully, his return will see two benefits.

He was struggling for a while before Torres was out. His poor form really started around November time with the Forest away game, and he was taken off at half time against Spurs then dropped for the three games after that. Torres played throughout most of December.

Torres can't come back fast enough.

Lenglet is the epitome of meh. I don't understand why he's played for so many big clubs. He's just a French Lewis Dunk.

And bizarrely our highest paid player!

Is he? I thought Watkins new deal made him the highest paid? Digne was apparently the highest paid at the end of last season.

[Meanwood Villa]

Is he playing tomorrow?

[Risso]

No

Sad face

Emery quoted from an official Villa Tweet.

Emery on Pau Torres: "He is getting better, he is practicing individually on the pitch, in the first step before joining us, I think, next week."

Due to nature of injury and my research and understanding then expect Nottingham Forest match at home is the one where he'll be up to speed to complete 90mins effectively
24th feb last game of this month.
 

[TonyD]

He should be back for the start of the season.
2124/25.

[ROBBO]

We don't do one week niggles at Villa.

[Brazilian Villain]

He should be back for the start of the season.
2124/25.

If he were a Chelsea player that would be the last season of his contract.

[ChicagoLion]

What is the injury and when is he expected to be back?

[aj2k77]

He caught Villa and should be back next Christmas.

Unless there's a setback. Then he'll retire.

[Richard E]

Perhaps we imagined him and he never really existed?

[Beard82]

Sorry people - but it’s just a fever dream.  Longlet is and always has been our left sided center back since mings got injured.  When he plays well he is Pau Torres when he plays badly he is Longlet. 

It’s like Brad Pitt and Edward Norton in fight club. 

I’ve looked you can never find them in the same photo
