Isn’t a sprained ankle like a week or 2? Was when I was a kid I was spraining ankles all the time.
We will miss him very much. His energy level is off the scale.He will be treated for a sprained ankle back here.
Depending on the grade of injury (1 2 or 3) he will be out for 1 month, 3 months or several months.
Looks like Le Fee could get a run in midfield with Rigg until Diarra and Sadiki are back.
I hope Xhaka doesn’t get injured on these internationals, it would leave us with last seasons midfield.

That’s what it said in the Sunderland Echo today.Complete guesswork on your part
Just wait & see how bad it is firstHe will be treated for a sprained ankle back here.

The echo website gives my ipad Aids everytime I view itThat’s what it said in the Sunderland Echo today.
Maybe it’s them just guessing.

Of course it is. They are so clickbaity these days - they come up with the worst case scenario and pass it off as fact so that people will click on their horrific website.That’s what it said in the Sunderland Echo today.

I think enzo has looked best on the left than centre in the games he's played this seasonThis has a knock on effect that we really need the wingers to step up. Would be ideal to have Enzo as a central midfielder, not on the left. We’re going to need subs and we look like in the middle of the park now. Neil + Rigg more likely to play 30 or 60 mins as opposed to 90 mins I would think. Might be wrong like. Geertruida also an option.
I think we all just need to wait and see - all these predictions about how long he'll be out are pointless. He hasn't been assessed yet and we have absolutely no information about the injury other than a tweet about a "strain"Yeah if it's a slight one that's about right. The grades are right tho on grade 1 grade 2 and grade 3. Grade 3 is the most severe which would indicate a complete tear of a ligament. If he'd done that you wouldn't have seen him walking with a slight limp so it's safe to assume it's a grade 1 or 2. I've done mine over 10 times and the first time I had a grade 2 I was back playing in 6 weeks. A younger fitter lad with significantly better physio than I had I would expect 4/5 weeks max. If its a grade 1 he could be back next week to be fair.
Sometimes though the slightly lesser aggressive player (Enzo) look better when he’s the one, he has outstanding talent as we saw last season when he was the star. Now he’s not, sometimes you play well just not as good as the others.I think enzo has looked best on the left than centre in the games he's played this season
Can't have had many friends going round spraining people's ankles like that.
You’re kidding right about the bookings? You do realise he plays for SAFC?Not ideal but as has been said injuries will happen. Hopefully Granit can escape his bookings until 1 of them is back although I reckon we might not see either till after the AFCON now

We really could do with some hg squad players establishing themselves as viable options for the medium term. Far better if they come from within too.Genuinely hope Dan Neil steps ups and makes a few of the FIFA players eat their tweets

He seems to be a CDM when operating in the midfield, not similar to Sadikiyep I agree with you. Although if you play Enzo left, our central midfield options are Xhaka, Neil and rigg. Leaves us without a bench option if we need to freshen things up.
I know geertruida has played there occasionally but I’m unsure if he’s ever played there regularly or convincingly, and it’s a big step up to do it in the prem. geertruida is a right back who switched to centre back I believe. Might be mistaken.
