Any news on these two, hope they are fit for the 26th.

Well l hope that they are, it feels like it's been many months since we last played a game, though of course it's been nothing like that long in reality.

Not news as such, but Welbz was in the training pics on the club website today and I couldn't see Webster.
Yeah and when the players made their good luck wishes to Ali Mac, Welbeck was in it (suggesting he is on the same schedule as the rest of the group) while Webster was nowhere to be seen ( = possibly locked up in some gym or something).

They both came off injured in the friendly against Aston Villa we played a couple of weeks ago in Dubai. Webster hasn't been seen since in any media the club have put out hence the concern about his fitness. Welbeck has been in the video the club did wishing Ali Mac good luck for the WC final and has been seen in training ground photos so hopefully he's ready to go.

Webster has done his achilles apparently.
Oh dear. He is a bit fragile for a CB.

So it looks as if Levi Colwill's number 6 match shirt will need a wash on Boxing Day night then.

According to RDZ in his presser today neither will be out that long but the Charlton game is too soon. We also know that means at least 6 months out in Brighton injury talk.

They won't be missing for long does not correspond to a serious achilles heel issue. Maybe achilles tendonitis, like that which what I have got...and its a real bugger!

Yeah
Webster is looking more and more like back up for the other two.
Hoping we can convince Chelsea to let us keep Colwill.

Webster is done for the season. Only 21 games left. 7 to get fit, 7 on the bench ready to play but Levi keeps him out then only 7 left and he would need all of them to shake off the rust, so couldn't be risked. I don't think he is a quick enough thinker for DeZerbi ball unfortunately. Nor do I think he fits in to this fast moving team DeZerbi has created. Feel sorry for the guy as he has suddenly become utterly injury prone.
We are a better side with Colwill instead of Webster. Less errors and giving the ball away cheaply. A peak webster is still an asset but he often is a liability when returning from injury.
Signing Colwill permanently would be a coup

Also Colwill is much better at standing with one foot on the ball for lengthy periods than Webster so he'll be very hard to replace

We knew that was a curious feature of De Zerbi's football. Colwill seems to have taken it into the realms of performance art.
