Saka's hamstring detached from the bone it's rumoured, that's a three month lay off minimum.

Tomi has actually been on the pitch working recently............don't know if he had a fork in his hand but assistant groundsman might suit his fragile little legs!!

I thought Saka had done his ham string. Isn’t that the string you get on the Christmas Ham? :lol:

Feel sorry for the guy and wish him well, but that’s more money haemorrhaging on a bloke that will be out for months. Had he been sold last summer, or the one before tbh, as he should have been, then we wouldn’t have this problem. It’s all coming apart for Legohead.

I mean who'd have thought that facing a 60 game season we'd need more than 2 bang average strikers eh?

Shouldn't this be posted in the 'good news' thread?

Was thinking about this and it may seem harsh but I don't give a shit - This is on the club, Jesus had a past ACL, went down holding his knee 10 mins before, why not get him off as a precaution???.

We saw this happen with Timber, although he had not done his ACL before at that stage.

If a player (especially with knee history!) goes down, get them off ASAP, get scans and no training until scans confirm all OK.

Also maybe some blame on Arteta, it seems like his lack of faith in Sterling meant risking Jesus?, it backfired badly.😡
