Sadio Mane has returned to first-team training with Liverpool (
I
Both players worked away from the main group on Tuesday and will be monitored over the next couple of days before they can join Mane in first-team training.

Milner suffered a hamstring injury in October, while Henderson was forced to leave international duty with England after picking up an unspecified injury.

right lads lets get back to this in anger tomorrow but the news is so far

Alisson - played the 90 v colombia so likely ederson plays tthe game tonight. we can mark him on the team sheet now
trent - played 90s in a pointles game last night. somehow egnaldn didn't knacker him but i presume he was pushed over in the showers or something.
Tsimikas- robertson is toast.
VVD - will play tonight, need to win to be sure so he could be knackered
Matip - feet up so should be no issue.
Fabinho played 4 mins v colombia so likely to play 90 tonight. at risk
Thaigo - in training, no word of any issues so that should be fine
Milner - likely to be ready for this.
Jota - played 83 mins v serbia. so no isues
salah - the rock.
Origi - no big deal, if he is fit he probabaly fills in at lw.

Mane out? we didnt see him in senegals secnd game so don't know yet
Robertson out? We saw him limp off though dribs has not confirmed this yet.
Henderson out? We also saw him sent back by england due to injury but dribs still hasn't confirmed.
Firmino Out. He was confirmed out pre window as a couple weeks more atleast.
Keita ? we don't know but it was mooted after international break so will only find out shortly.
Jones - no great loss as previously reported. needs an eye patch, is thinking of becoming a pirate.
gomez - another no great loss. shoudl be back after this break and ready to ocme on for 2 mins for trent.
Special mention for elliott who is out til march

<doh>
 
Jones out for few more weeks with eye injury but it’s nothing that should cause any long term issues once fully recovered. Anyone know what he’s actually done? Sounds like might be a scratch to the eye or something?

A finger to the eye thats cut the surface of the eyeball.

Theres no real blood flow so it seemingly takes a long time to heal properly
 
Fabinho and alisson played 90mins last night alongside fred. Brasil drew 0-0.

Vvd played 90 for Netherlands who scored late to qualify.
 
So are we clear enough on team for arsenal now?

Or is the club sandbagging with a shot of henderson and mane in light training mixed in with the rest? Milner certainly looks on light duty.

Alisson
Trent Matip Vvd tsimikas
Henderson fabinho Thaigo
Salah Jota Mane

@Jimmy Squarefoot would contend this may actually be our strongest team bar tar and feathering ehnderson and replacing with the statistically amazing Keita.

The Hendo of 2019 would have been my choice for RCM however he's been poor since then. I would like Thiago at RCM with Naby at LCM.

But I think this is a strong team - should be enough to easily deal with Arsenal ... (Famous last words).

its really got no excuse has it?

Ramsdale (played midweek, got frostbite watching)
Tomiyasu (played for japan yesterday)
White (****e)
Gabriel didn;t travel cos he's ****e
Tavares portugal us1s midweek
Saka played LWB for england v the mighty san marino (stupid position ffs)
Sambi lokonga watched beligum draw with wales midweek
Partey only back from injury
Smith rowe (play v the mighty san marino)
Lacazette no longer in french squad
Aubamyang didn't actually play for gabon as far as i can see.

No excuses for us in tiredness.
No excuses form arsenal form, we looked at that before the break.
No excuses as its at home.
No excuses due to injuries, full team available.

we desperately need a win here as chelsea are 4 points clear of us and playing Leicester away who have been dross this year but are still harder than some and city play neverton.

If our rivals beat the other barely top half teams and we do not then its more ground lost and starts to query our top 4 credentials.
 
No excuse as in we're just simply better than them all around the park. The same applied to when we played West Ham, Brighton and Brentford as well.

West ham were better than us all over the park when they actually chose to play us.

Brentford wasn't very good but we went and did the job then threw in stupid goals by not doing the basics

Brighton we only played a half. it was a joke. they got a fluke goal and we just faded badly, we failed to do the basic tracking of runs etc.

Its all basic stuff that we have no excuse not to be doing. we have to want this more.

Cannot have peoepl like alisson waffling off on international duty about wanting to win everything not just the league and then not smashing ****s out of his way.
