Apparently Lucas was only supposed to play 45 minutes of this afternoons under 21 game, but played 62 and dominated the midfield. Although you would expect him to dominate at this level it is encouraging that his fitness is so good after such a long lay off. We need him back asap. Rodgers says the Southampton game should be his comeback game. Seems sensible as they should not be as tough as other opposition so he can ease back to match fitness. I always worry when a player has been out with a serious injury that he can pick up a fresh injury in the first few games back unless he is eased back in.
Gerrez, That's the point I was trying to make, maybe in a clumsy way. The fact he dominated after so long out is encouraging as it suggests he has stayed fit despite the long time out. Bodes well.
I don't disagree with that. However, you said you expected him to dominate Very encouraging that he dominated despite the issues he's had. Not so keen to hear that he was scheduled to play 45 minutes but played longer, that suggests we are pushing/rushing him back. If we have a plan then stick to it!
