Antonio Rüdiger is doubtful for the match against Atlético Madrid in the Super Cup semi-final. The German center-back is experiencing discomfort in his knee. If he doesn’t recover, it appears that Dean Huijsen, who missed the game against Betis due to discomfort, and Asencio will form the CB pairing

    Ascencio starting to feels like Nacho there to do the job. Glad we took a chance on him last season.

  2. Well that’s what is happening for some time right ….

    Board refuses to sign player>Injury prone player > no decent backup > player gets injured > now current player has to give their body on the line > he gets injured > rush back the injured player cause no one else is there > he is pushed to the extreme > he gets injury prone ….

    The cycle continues

  3. why the actual fuck are our players this injury prone?

    too much minutes in the previous season or medical team being bad?

    Yet another player who has become pretty much deadwood because he is unavailable for most of the season.

    Btw this is not me hating Rudiger. I love the guy, he is our best defender of the 2020s and he literally sacrificed his health for us. But if the club extends him it’ll be the dumbest decision ever, it’s clear that he’s done at this level. Same goes for Alaba, Militao, Mendy and Carvajal of course, we need a complete defensive overhaul.

    AT as cb not dean he will struggle against sorloth plus probably not fit atletico will try to exploit his weakness like last time

    if Huijsen is not ready, then Tchouameni in CB? we definitely need height in CB based on our previous game with atletico.

    Ceballos & Bellingham CM, Camavinga CDM.

  7. Defensive line has been a disaster for last 3 years in a row. Just think about how Fede is playing RB for almost two years now

  8. Rudriger has been one of our best CBs this decade but ig it’s time for him and Alaba to go so that at least we can sign a world class CB to pair up with Huisjen. Both of our RB’s are out but Trent still is one of the best RB’s in the world but Carvajal has been too injury prone so I guess it’s better to sign a RB back up for Trent. The midfield is packed and the attack too.
