The Havertz's Knee Memorial Injury Thread

Klaus

Mosquera was perfect. You would lose all that aggressive attacking of the ball with Kiwior in his place today.

Speedster

Yea he's not used to the level so he was under instructions to play it safe. We've seen in preseason he's a better passer than he was today. His good with both feet when him and Zubi settle in it'll give us mad playing out angles.

Klaus Kiwi looks to be off so he was never going to play but he was excellent at the end of last season. He also would have been a great player to have with Gyokeres because he pings lovely long balls over the opposition defence regularly. Really wish him well heading off he's a good footballer.

As for Mosquera he was excellent and I like how he carried the ball forward a few times. Seems very calm too. A perfect Saliba back up today. Would play him there ahead of White too.

Any news on Saliba? Our injury record right now is appalling

Seemed to be walking on, with only a slight hint of a limp. Hopefully its enough to keep him out of internationals, but then be fine in 2 weeks.

That said, Mosquera was solid AF today. Couldn't fault him for pretty much anything other than a couple off passes, but everyone does that.

The Arseblog podcast suggested it was a twisted ankle - hopefully nothing serious.

USArsenal

Well, if so, a twisted ankle is best case scenario. Thats only a couple weeks, and we have the international break. Arteta saying he's 'worried' about his fitness is always a bit of a smokescreen. He said the same about Saka and Odegaard (and Kai) and Ode was already back, Saka will only miss 3 or 4 more weeks tops, and Kai should be back in about 4 or 5 weeks also, as his knee 'surgery' was pretty minor.

HomeSteak

USArsenal couple of weeks for a twisted ankle? Have you not seen Odegaard? He had a twisted ankle and is still not over it, just ask around, he has been shit for close to 12 because of it. So I assume it will be the same for Saliba, 12 months he simply won't be himself, he will carry that injury.

Qwiss

He's pulled out of the France squad so hopefully he can rest up for the next 2 weeks

HomeSteak Odegaard had ligament damage. Doubt Saliba incurred anything even half as severe.

USArsenal

HomeSteak

Dude.. I have had twisted ankles and also torn ligaments in my ankle from playing when i was younger. They are VASTLY different injuries. Twisted ankles are a couple weeks at most.. I was out for 2.5 months with torn ligaments.

HomeSteak

USArsenal I had it as well when i was young. Was not myself for years lol

USArsenal

HomeSteak Yes, and i remember when i tore my ligaments, i could certainly not walk the way Saliba walked either off the pitch or out of the stadium. I was hobbling like a mofo and then on crutches. Don't think he had a major ligament tear the way Odegaard did. I would be surprised if it was more than 3-4 weeks tops, if that.

Can impact flexibility for a while even when fit enough to start matches again, but it does completely return eventually in most cases.

Anyway it's ok, we have Mosquito ready to draw blood from motherfuckers.

What the fuck did the club do in pre-season that the players are so fragile to injuries?

Four first team injuries in less than 3 games is egregious.

Sicario2

daredevil if you look the guys that are currently injured or had knocks (Ode) they were the main players 2022-2024. We def overplayed them physically esp the likes of Saka and unfortunately we are paying for it now. Luckily this is the best squad we’ve ever had so we can asorb it. As early as this time last year we would have panicked if Saka was out for a pre-longed period.

invisibleman18

Where's Norgaard by the way? Know he's backup and wouldn't have started any of the games so far, but is he already clocked without even playing a game?

Coombs

invisibleman18 injured, ofc

daredevil

Sicario2

They just came off a full summer break.

Sicario2

daredevil wear and tear occurs over a sustained period.

Either that or we are simply cursed.
