It would be an ironic post-script if our medical team have gone extra safety conscious after seeing their counterparts up the road balls up so badly

That's the spirit! Anyone would think it's the first injury the squad has suffered all season...

He's the biggest loss though.
Lewis Dunk for me. Couple of games/moments this season where we've looked entirely lost without him. AEK Athens at home was the best example.
This. Any other player can be replaced to some extent but the defence is fecked when Dunk isn't there.

This season he's missed:
Sheff Utd (H) 1-1
Chelsea (A) 2-3
Brentford (H) 2-1
West Ham (A) 0-0
So without him its a fairly decent W 1, D2 , L1 and one out of our only 2 clean sheets all season
And he came on in the Sheff Utd cup tie with the game pretty much won.
I'd always want him to be available but ...
(yes tbf we lost 3-2 at home to AEK Athens)

Nah, as others have said, I think Dunk would be a bigger miss – and Groß an even BIGGER miss, IMO.
There's no denying that Joao Pedro is quality, but in the PL, he's scored 'only' eight goals. Given the team collectively has scored 30 other ones, you'd think there would be the personnel on the pitch to step up. From an attacking point of view, with Mitoma and Fati back in the matchday squad and Adingra and Enciso not too far away, I have far fewer worries that I would have had a month ago.

Pedro is a huge loss because of his form currently, but Dunk and Groß are the heartbeat of the side.
I actually think we’ve really missed Veltman too - the guy does so much without credit. Turnovers, covering runs - every game is 100%. If he had something more going forward he would be one of the best in the world. Outstanding footballer.

Well, @Commander ITK rumour that he was injured has proven to be spot on, so I can’t see why we should discount the other half of it

And it was a good scoop and it could be that length of time (i guess thats a generic time out for a hamstring) but as the scans that would confirm the severity or not of the injury haven't actually happened yet or hadn't happened at time of the message/rumour being passed on then there are grounds to be sceptical.Well, @Commander ITK rumour that he was injured has proven to be spot on, so I can’t see why we should discount the other half of it

Ah, my little ray of sunshine! You never let me down
Do you know how long Hinshelwood is out for
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the tale, doing the rounds, of Pedro and RDZ coming to blows at training.
