He only signed in 2019
Oh look, he's on his last chance. But it isn't through any fault of his own. It started with awful management from Silva of a player who himself said he wasn't fit, and then our crap medical team deciding against surgery on a problem that could have been fixed and recovered from in the space of 6-8 weeks.
It's a proper stinker that he looks like he'll miss tonight because these are the games we need him to play in and build up his fitness, but we're already massively short as it is so if he misses today but is fit for the next 3-4 weeks in case there's other injuries in midfield then it's better to be cautious.
We need a new midfielder, like we need a new winger and a right-back.
