At what point does it get deemed serious? As someone with persistent calf muscle problems it’s never so bad that I couldn’t run if I had to or that it requires surgery but it flares up so often and unpredictably that in a professional footballer it would be a real problem.

It might not be a torn ACL but a persistent niggle like that can be a real problem long term.

Given our medical teams track record, probably when one of these is required

Quite surprised no-one has blamed his new skirt for the injury.

Big miss this. Very underwhelmed by him until the last few months, but has seemingly worked out his role and found the confidence to get his head up and play forwards. Really very good recently, showed some great vision and fantastic weight of pass. Fancied him to get stuck in in the feral atmosphere. Gana will hopefully be fine. Garner a lot more settled and a PL starter now, but will need to properly stick his chest out and get on the ball. No better incentive than against these.

If Onana has been playing on this calf for weeks and training light, it’s now time to properly get it sorted. Hopefully just reported for international duty and turned around and came home.

I thought we were better in the 2nd half at Palace when Gana replaced him. We will miss his intensity though on Sunday.

Honestly think he does better without Gana in the midfield with him because there's no overlap in roles and suddenly he's the big dog in there, and seems to thrive in it!

That sounds like a longer term injury...probably safe to say that he will be out for the next few weeks at a time when we need points on the board, a heavy schedule with many games in the short term, and very few options on the bench really with gomes still some way from full fitness if at all in dyche thinking...I guess that will mean dropping for a few games doucoure in midfield but then who do you play instead alongside dcl...

Does it? I’ve missed something there then.

A few of us had been saying the same thing since he signed...Gana was supposed to be occupying the DM position -- but goes to press...but Onana who is an actual anchor has been often used as a CM.

Better balance with Garner / Onana
