Alex Moss 2,165 Posted January 17, 2019 Not good news on Tettey or Klose, almost certainly will miss the Leeds game, possibly Ipswich, with Timm out for some time should he need surgery. Damn, not good news at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tettey out for three weeks, and Klose seeing a specialist in Switzerland - he might need an operation that would keep him out for six weeks. Thompson, McLean and Trybull all mooted as potential replacements for Tettey. Lewis, Buendia, Stiepermann and Hanley all fit and available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeiranShikari 1,354 Posted January 17, 2019 With Klose out for a while too I highly doubt it. It'll be Tom Trybull or Kenny McLean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeiranShikari 1,354 Posted January 17, 2019 Thompson should be back to fitness soon too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd worry for a midfield of McLean and Vrancic protecting the back 4.....and like the above poster would rather see Godfrey covering the ground in front of the back 4 instead of Trybull, who I question how much of a screen he can offer defensively Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was on the bench against WBA 👍 Farke didn't mention him as an option in midfield though, so perhaps not quite up to speed to get a start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeiranShikari 1,354 Posted January 17, 2019 A big few games for Trybull you would assume. Did well against Villa if I remember correctly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woodman 92 Posted January 17, 2019 Klose's injury sounds like a longer term one, suggesting an op is likely to mean he probably needs one. with him, Tettey and Leitner out, that's 3 big players missing. Thompson might be forced into action a bit sooner than we'd like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crabbycanary3 994 Posted January 17, 2019 Mmm, swings and roundabouts on the injury front. Normal for this time of the season I suppose. Scott McTominay is hoping to be out on loan......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crabbycanary3 994 Posted January 17, 2019 Perhaps we need to sign a couple of players "to give the lads a hand" and to get us over the line? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,598 Posted January 17, 2019 It could certainly be an opportunity to get someone in on loan, Timm would be a big miss and with games coming thick and fast any setback could be costly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nuff Said 4,938 Posted January 17, 2019 Equally, if we find we manage without Timm, that could affect whether we try and persuade him to stay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grando 256 Posted January 17, 2019 Are there any experienced centre backs available (presumably on loan) ready to fit straight into the team, I wonder? Or defensive midfielders come to that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pyro Pete 1,849 Posted January 17, 2019 Tettey and Klose are key players for us. So this could be a real problem. I suppose it's a chance for the likes of Trybull, Godfrey and Hanley to prove their worth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted January 17, 2019 Not good news but we will definitely see how good we are or can be when others step in. We have plenty of cover at CB and with Thompson fit, we have options in the middle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feedthewolf 4,790 Posted January 17, 2019 Zimbo and Godfrey is a perfectly reliable CB partnership, however the loss of Tettey is more concerning. I think Thompson is the most natural replacement, but if Trybull can get back to his performances of early last season he could do the job okay. Four points from the next two home games, defeat at Elland Road, then beat the filth and we'd still be there or thereabouts with everyone fit again (except possibly Tettey).

Hairy Canary 628 Posted January 17, 2019 If Kloser is out for a couple of months as Is being suggested then we can't rely on just three centre backs for such a lengthy time. Lose one more and the whole season could be at risk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grando 256 Posted January 17, 2019 3 hours ago, lake district canary said: What's wrong with what we've got? Nothing wrong with what we've got in central defence, but another injury in that position and we're left without cover. And I'm not convinced Trybull is a really like-for-like replacement for Tettey (and, added to that, Leitner is still out). With Timm out it also means that we can't afford Godfrey to move forward into midfield (not that he's played there this year). So, in short, nothing wrong with what we have, obviously, as we're third in the league. But if these injuries look like persisting then I think we're a knock or two away from being up the proverbial creek. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gordon Bennett 768 Posted January 18, 2019 Frustrating and could potentially derail our promotion bid but on the other hand this is what a squad is for and what a terrific opportunity for other players to come in and make an impact. Players like Hanley, McLean, Thompson, Trybull etc haven’t played much for various reasons but now have the chance to establish themselves for the rest of the season. They should be champing at the bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
