Really hope he's fit to start on Saturday.

I suspect he was on the bench because Emery pretty clearly puts a big emphasis on being part of the matchday 20. It's why he doesn't put kids on the bench very often and it's why when someone is nearly fit he'll get them back involved and in the dressing room so they're part of things and ready mentally to be back in the team when they can.

As an aside, and I’m sure it’s me exaggerating, but every single time we put a timeframe on an injury it’s always exceeded.

And it's not just exceeded by a week or two or a game or two either. I am genuinely fearful now that Konsa will not be back in the side this season.

Same. I think Torres is probably still a couple of weeks away from being back as well. Hoepfully he's fit for Spurs.

That simple pass into McGinn(?) for our 2nd opened up the pitch hugely. 2 passes later Ollies clean through. Massive player for us and the way that Emery wants us to play.

Tielemans not McGinn.

Magnificent player, just absolutely top class. We really need him to stay fit.

Had he not got injured when he did I wonder would we still be in the conversation for the title?

Today shows how we have missed him. A wonderful player.

Excellent today, didn't look rusty after being out for a few weeks.

I thought that was Dougie who did that initial pass.

He was excellent, like he'd never been away.

Absolutely. Fulham was the ideal game for him to return as they didn't really have a striker or at least a decent one. He's a joy to watch, reminds me more of a cultured midfielder than a centre half. He makes everything look so easy.
