...is not as bad as feared, he says in a tweet: "Confiando en recuperarme pronto, siempre una lesión es difÃcil pero gracias a Dios no fue grave como se esperaba." The assessment apparently, is that he will nonetheless be out for 3-4 weeks.
Well, I guess we get to see if Ruiz really is the root cause of all our problems like some people think. He isn't, of course. Will be interesting to see if Taarabt can provide some cutting edge in his place.
We've now got 7 players out injured from the squad of 24. Stekelenberg still 2 weeks from playing Briggs Hip injury ? Richardson ? Hughes Groin 1 week Ruiz Ankle/Foot ? 3-4 weeks? Berbatov Hamstring ? 1-2 weeks? Bent Hamstring ? 1 week ? For me Riether was also not 100% after colliding with the advert surrounds. It was also said Taarabt was carrying an injury. Also we've had no mention of Boateng or Dejagah being left out, when both were doing well. Will Diarra get back to fitness and back in the team ? Leftback is becoming a problem, will Zverotic get the shout in front of Riise for the Chelsea game.
Is Richardson injured again? I presumed he was just taken off as he wasn't 100% fit and Amorebieta needed game time.
