2020/21 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Carlo has tended to under-state the length of recovery time needed for players.

I'd expect he'll miss at least two games.

The important thing is to ensure he returns when he is 100% ready and not before.

Time for the king to step up or abdicate

 

[Death]

I mean, he did finish that sentence.

See technically... you know the rest

Good news if they think he'll be back for Wednesday. To get a result against the likes kf City or the rs we'll need him at some point.

Great chance for King though to make a name for himself coming up

I’ll be amazed if Richarlison doesn’t play up top and I’d even bank on Digne and Iwobi out wide if Holgate and Godfrey come back in at fullback. King first sub off the bench. Richy will want to be front and centre not running the channels for Josh King to get all the service. Will do us good in the long run if Richalrison can get a bit of form in DCL’s absence so when he’s back we could have two in form goal threats.

Id play king in the right. With digne and richy.

He’ll be ready for the derby no doubt. And if they’ve got no Fabinho, even a half fit DCL would cause them problems.

Yes mate think he could go with Richarlison up top but I'd be surprised if King doesn't start either from the left or up top. Great chance to rest someone else and give King a good run.

Good shout. Richarlison will relish being the main man up front. And actually, I think it might have something to do with his sulking this season. Ultimately I think it's his best position.

I'd give Iwobi a spot on the bench at this point though in place of King. Iwobi's level has dropped a bit, and King should be raring to prove himself.

Richarlison should benefit massively from having a second wide forward doing some of the work for him, for a change.

Optus sports in Australia have just said he is out for 6-8 weeks.

Bloody hope not

6-8 days more likely

 

[Steve Wigan]

As long as its not DCL.........Dominic Cruciate-Ligament. See what I did there????

 

[Groucho]

The fact he isn’t our penalty taker is a good point. All the players he’s compared to are penalty takers for their club. That boosts their stats. Don isn’t on pens for us.

And we don't get many called in our favor

Won’t make much difference to us, refs or even VAR just don’t like giving us penalties.

Off the bench against City and fresh and raring to put another one past the RS.

Richarlison and King to fill the void in the interim.
