Mr Azul was just having a giggle, as was I (we are simple souls in this fair city)

It's his right knee.

And the scan was inconclusive.

Terrible this.

Martinez's comments were a bit worrying there, what do others think?

Could be a fair amount more than 6 weeks then

Need to go into the market for an ACM.

NOW.

was it really done yesterday? If so, why on bloody EARTH would they be doing full practices the day before the season began??

It doesn't sound right. Lets hope it's not a repeat of the Kone injury. I'd fear ACL. Fingers crossed.

I thought that too. Sounded down about it.

We'll live without Barkley. We've got Mr Reliable Steven Naismith who'll play that AFM role.

Gutting news, but if it serious we need to give Naismith our support.

Yeah it's really worrying I think. Right knee, no real prospect of a quick return, Martinez talking about 'periods of adversity'.

Huge player to lose as the side is built around him. Pienaar was great today but the options in that area are very thin

Yeah, hopefully back before Christmas. Does sound bad..

Toffeelover · August 16, 2014

I think we will be lucky to see him back in action this side of Christmas, look when he was last injured, how long did that take.

But it's the transferring of the ball at pace from one phase to the next that no-one else in the squad does as well as Barkley.

If we aren't going to see much of him before Christmas, that's massive and will change the way we play completely
