James McCarthy

[BlueToff]

McCarthy is out as well, Bobby has confirmed it. I think he'll miss Hull as well -- i'd imagine the aim is to have him back for the City game.

Needs a week off.

When did he confirm McCarthy was out? He didn't in his presser earlier..

 

[mawders]

McCarthy needs a rest before the xmas period. I remember alex ferguson one year giving scholes a month off mid season because he's played too much

 

[EverBlue86]

Barry ain't gonna be back for a while he's got ankle ligament damage

Barry ain't gonna be back for a while he's got ankle ligament damage

[blueblue]

I wonder if Roy Keane has changes his opinon ?

Wasn't as serious as feared I don't think, Martinez says he's being assessed before the game.

 

[Lids1978]

Martinez was as vague as ever in his presser ffs. who really knows.

 

[Eggs]

As vital as he is too us if he's not 100% I'd rather lose him for this one game than lose him for 4 or 5.

Can't mess with hamstrings.

Slot Barry in alongside Besic.

...I'd be very surprised if McCarthy only misses one game. He's got a real desire to play but mere morals would miss the next 3 at least. Besic was stretching his hammy in the last few minutes, they'll be working to make sure that's not tightened up. Not sure about Gibson's fitness but Ledson could well make the bench.

It did say earlier on the official site that he was out - it's now been changed to 'could be set to miss'

My bad. But I would be surprised if he started. Really not worth the risk

Gibbo is out I think. Besic looked more like cramp but I was worried at the time!

Sweet Lord... I may as well polish the boots... I am a chance. My 2 hamstrings work

 

[Duncan Disordely]

After Besic's performance last night, I wouldn't mind McCarthy sitting out a game or two if rest is going to cure his hamstring problem.

I'd rather that than him end up really aggravating it and ending up with a two or three month absence.

Question is, is who would partner Besic?

Osman will fulfil that role; whether people want him to or not.

 

[TheFinnFan]

pretty sure it isnt as serious as it sounds. it didnt go like pop, it went little bit like kling..

he will be back after 3-5 weeks.
