It can , and does to most clubs, ask that lot over the park how is Artur Melo doing.
Just very unfortunate.

Just very unfortunate.
I feel like the club have enormously let the player down. Benitez and Lampard constantly talked up their reliance on him, and I believe that had an impact in the club failing to sign a replacement for him. And the news we get is always that it's not a serious injury. Last we heard his hamstring scan was positive, but it's going to be 5 games out minimum. Expectations have not been managed well.
No one has been let down more by the refusal to sign attackers, than Calvert Lewin himself.
There will come where we need him to take a risk and play though because Maupay and Simms are not good enough for this level or a club in this much relegation trouble. How many games he is available is probably one of the main factors that will determine if we go down or stay up.
believe Dyche really thinks it’s a ‘once he gets 100% he’ll be fine’ thing and the medical staff are working with that in mind but how long that’s sustainable remains to be seen
We need him back for Brentford or we could be cut adrift before the march international break
I dont think we can ever be sure he's back until he puts together 10 plus matches. I'm not sure that's likely
That’s why it’s so annoying about yesterday. Losing means forest is even bigger than it was going to be anyway, and I think he has to play
True, but not everyone is making that claim. We can only go with what we're told by Dyche
Have they said what his current injury is?
Big Sams Undies
Player Valuation: £15m
Nobody was ever, ever paying £80m for this muppet off the back of a couple-of-month purple patch.
Laughable.
Leylo
Player Valuation: £35m
Couple of broken nails and few split ends in his hair..
Not sure. I remember there was chat that his hamstring scan was clear but not sure if that came from the club
Its obviously a more serious injury than was suggested after the Arsenal game
Tight hamstring I think.
Hamstring tweak -, but Dyche does not want to rush him back like Frank did as it keeps recurring.....
Leylo
Player Valuation: £35m
Didn't he have a problem with his shoulder discolated it or something
Its a weird one, the first week was crazy intensive and Dyche saw fit to start him against Arsenal.
He was hooked the second we went ahead.
He must have looked good in training but pulled something during the game.
Some sort of timeline update during the Arsenal presser would be great.
Cant believe I'm putting all my eggs in the DCL basket but here we are.
Simon Buttle
Player Valuation: £60m
It's listed as being a thigh injury on the PL injuries website. It could be that scans showed nothing but he still feels discomfort which could be genuine or it could be more psychological hence why Dyche seems to want to let him come back in his own time when he feels 100% fit again.
