2020/21 James Rodriguez

I don't get why we're always so coy and secretive when it comes to his injuries. We know he's a crock (great player still), so why try to sugar coat and cover up things? Can't he just say "he's got a [whatever it is] injury, and is expected to miss [estimated number of weeks]".

When a manager is picking his team for any particular game it gives him an advantage when he knows for certain what players in the opposing team are definitely missing.
When Sean Dyche is deciding on his team , his tactics and his formation for Saturday it certainly would make life easier for him if he knew for certain that JR would not play.

At this level small margins make a big difference and if Burnley spend the week preparing to play against JR it throws out their preparations somewhat if he does not play, the reverse is even more true.

Not in training on YouTube right now. Mina is there. No Siggy either actually.

Bit of a concern that it does seem to have been a while now since we've actually seen him in training..

 

[JMT]

I think CoD dropped a new patch so he'd give this training a miss.

According to those that have followed him pre Everton, he has had an issue with his calf for ages. It kinda comes and goes.

If that's the case ( dont doubt you for a second) I fail to see how we can build a team around him.

Seems he’s out for Saturday according to the man himself on his twitch stream. Saying he’s been dealing with some nagging injuries and wants to get himself fit for the run in / copa America.

hopefully get him playing a run of games soon - he’s a big miss against some of the poorer sides especially.

 

[riddick]

It's something that has plagued him for years, he has gone to Everton where we CONSTANTLY have players out massively longer than the normal timeframe when they have injuries.

Was always going to go like this.

Genuinely wonder what the actual problem is because I feel like it's either an issue with preparation or after match. Just weird how something happens after a match constantly with him.

He's played 18 games, so he must have missed 180.
You're right, that's a lot of games to miss

 

[UptheTofees]

Hopefully he is back for these last 2 matches before the break

But if not, he should be back after that break. I'd be shocked and disappointed if he wasn't

We will not get too many seasons from him will we.
Enjoy it while it lasts lads.
Lucky he is here at all, let alone complain when he is injured.
