The France international faces a lengthy spell out of the side and Sport report that Barcelona could take action against him, possibly suspending him without pay for as long as a month.

 

What was the injury? Are they trying to push him out to get Neymar in?

Agree that we shouldn't be letting him go at this stage though

Did you see Istanbul last week? It looked like large parts of Turkey, Egypt and the Arabian peninsular had turned up to watch us. Not really one to overstate the commercial angle of things, but there is a humungous opportunity in the Gulf states for starters. We just can't let those two go.

 

To be fair, it was in Turkey

 

Hmmm...turkey
