Todays injury news- Idah out, Gibson a doubt

Recommended Posts

'Adam Idah will miss the game due to a problem with his hernia.

 

"Little doubt behind Ben Gibson with hamstring problems. He's been training individually but it's too early to confirm if he's available tomorrow. (Someone remind Farke we play Sunday not tommorow)

 

Marco Stiepermann and Orjan Nyland are both available after a proper training week, now it's up to competition for places.'

Zimmermann at the back it is then, Tettey and Sorensen as the ultra-back-up centre-halves then. Unless they start fancying Omobamidewo.

Not really, just a player who played almost know games last season and is now thrown into a promotion battle with three games a week.. its going to start to add up, hopefully next season he will physically be more attuned. That said I 100% agree we are a centre back short of it being a solid position.

I can see Sorenson doing a 'Ben Godfrey' position-wise.

Not sure he has the dynamism for holding midfield, and could really see him doing well as a ball-playing CB.

Christoph will start of course, as he should.

I would assume this is likely, Hanley and Gibson are great first choice centre backs, but if we only have Zimm as back-up and Omobamidele a youth player it would be silly after the injury crisis throughout our last Prem campaign

First full season playing football properly and he's made 26 appearances. I don't think he's 'made of glass'

CB cover if Zimm plays is Sorensen and Tettey, OmO could be considered if a left sided CB, unknown what his preference.  With the run in and our points position at the top if Gibbo struggling we should be able to rest him more and avoid those 3 games in quick succession.  As long as the 4 up top are on fire and remain so we are unlikely to need the strongest defence who are ably protected by Skipp and Kenny.  Few of the 11 remaining will provide stern opposition.

Idah is unlucky with injuries this season, if suffers from hernia issues could this not have been dealt with during earlier injury lay offs.  If not and is a recent issue what are they doing that he incurs such an injury.

We will sign another CB is convinced by that, cant make the mistakes as last time. With the injury record our CBs have had over the last 2 years we wouldnt take that risk.

Not his “first full season”, but I get what you are saying. It’s his first in a while.

But the others have played just as many games ! He's only a central defender doesn't run as much as the forwards & midfielders - the guy's feeble !

Why do so many people say this about a player as soon as they pick up two or three knocks in the same season?

Gibson played every single match in his final two seasons at Boro, and has played 26/33 for us this season since his debut, but a bit of muscle fatigue here and there and he's 'made of glass' and 'feeble'.

Hanley got the same treatment last season. He had never suffered with injuries much before in his career, but after a bad one in 2018/19 and another last season, he suddenly became injury prone. He's been a virtual ever-present this season. 

Zimmermann too. Last season he suffered a serious ankle injury from a bad tackle and another smaller knock or two. This was after being virtually bullet-proof for his first two seasons, and actually gaining a reputation as being someone who never got injured.

These guys are hardly Wilshere and Sturridge, are they?

Yep and fully agree about Zimbo, would love to see him back and playing at his best again.

I'm sure Farke won't risk Gibson tomorrow, any potential underlying problem can't be made worse.

We just have to hope Hanley can stay fit now as Zimmermann looks as rusty as hell from what I've seen.

You're ignoring the fact that he's not been playing regular football for a couple seasons prior. That makes quite a difference. And he's not even missed many games this season.

Is he any different to someone like Skipp who has been on the fringes of the Spurs squad ? Skipp only has a few sub appearances for the senior spurs side, cup games and u23' games and not been playing regular football. Skipp is a young player however with lots of energy. Gibson's not just feeble he's also a geriatric !
