He'll be a big miss. Although I'm sure the stretcher was just awesome gamesmanship and timewasting, he's a strong guy and could have hobbled off. Hopefully he's back soon.
 

Some people have the technical skills but their bodies are just not physiologically up to the realms of professional sport. Michael Owen is a good example of this, he was built like a twiglet yet tried to play an aggressive, explosive style of game and his body just could'nt handle it. There has been plenty of times over the years i can remember Delph (especially at Leeds) doing some really good stuff, but anytime he has to break into a sprint he just collapses in a heap. The only way to stop/help a sportsperson with stuff like this is observe and assess the biomechanics of how the person is moving and see if you can modify their technique or motion to prevent further problems. The issue is that by the time you get to this level everything is so set in muscle memory it can be hard to adapt to change for some people.

Must admit im getting slightly aroused by all this muscle talk and im not even called Purple Aki
 

I think it was said to have been a strain but i think the worry is that he really did pull up good and proper last night, let's hope it's not too serious.

This is the real challange this season - managers forced to get players back out there a week or two early through the season... Messy
