    That is a bugger - I know you won't agree Kev

    At least we've got solid replacements coming back, or in the team already.

    I'm not concerned, tbh, Jammy.

    I think Fernandez, Schar and obviously Lejeune are ahead of him whilst Clark is at least on a par.

    I honestly don't think we'll miss him.

    If Clark plays, i'd make him captain.

    Doesnt worry me either.The thing what gets me is we have lost 2 players to fairly serious injuries with no action taken against the opposition player,yet we have had Longstaff and Hayden sent off for not injuring either player involved but sent off for "endangering the player with the challenge".
    Can you imagine the uproar if a forward from any team in the League injured someone like Van Djik in this manner.Would be uproar about it.Wilson didn't even get a yellow but could of injured Dubravka as well.

    That is actually a very good point.

    I'm not concerned from the point of view that we'll miss him on a skill level but i do think he's a good captain and we may well miss him in leadership qualities.

    I suspect that Dummett or Shelvey will captain side in his absence.
