cambridgeshire canary 6,717 Posted September 24, 2021 'Christoph Zimmerman will definitely miss the game due to his ankle problem. And it is the same with Przemysław Placheta who is out with Covid.Todd Cantwell is also out as he has missed the whole week’s training, with a personal problem, and there is a little question mark over Milot Rashica. He did not train the last couple of days, but was back in training today so we will have a late test on him. 'Here is good news in that Mathias Normann, who missed the cup game in midweek, is back in team training and Josh Sargent, who has been doing individual training sessions is back in team training today. We will have to see how his body reacts, but we hope that he will be available for Everton. So, some mixed news I would say' . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,234 Posted September 24, 2021 So worst case scenario no Cantwell, Rashica and Sargent but sounds like only Todd is the definite non starter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monty13 2,234 Posted September 24, 2021 Shame if Sargent can’t start, thought he was one of the best performers last week. Would have like to have seen him and Cantwell start alongside Pukki but maybe a chance for Dowell to try to show why Everton were wrong to let him go.

TIL 1010 4,746 Posted September 24, 2021 I know it is none of our business apparently but this personal problem that Cantwell is dealing with now appears to have caused him to miss training for a week. Any ITK or conspiracy theorists about today ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whether I'm interested or not isn't relevent. You or I have no right to know what his 'personal reasons' are. To give you a recent, personal example- I had to spend some time off work recently as my son was in hopsital. Nothing too serious but still a worry for any parent. A few people at my work knew why (boss, friends) but most of the business was told I was off for personal reasons, because I didn't want to have to deal with a bunch of people asking me what was going on all the time and people could get on happily without knowing exactly why I wasn't in- and anyone who'd have gone snooping to find out would have looked like a nosey ****.

Fully understand where you are coming from king canary with regard to your family situation but we are talking about a young man who is in the local public eye here in Norfolk and to a slighly lesser degree on the national football stage and remember he has not so far been very shy on his social media these last couple of years putting himself out there so to speak. If this drags out ( hopefully not by the way ) for a few games the rumour mill will get into overdrive and we all know how that ends up in this day and age.

I heard after he'd had his 2nd jab he was suffering with a few strange hallucinations.

One a softly spoken chap with brown hair and the other a red haired lady. The whole experience left him a little dazed and confused.

Sorry but none of what you are saying gives anyone any right to pry into his private life. Which is odd in a way. What you are saying is that anyone that regularly posts pictures of instagram or posts on twitter has consented to their private lives being turned upside down with no corner left unscrutinised. I should imagine there are a fair few people on here who fit that description who would not be happy as that being used as a reason to pry. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel a bit for Dowell, really looked up for it at the end of last season, did reasonably well in preseason and then... dropped. Even in the cup game only got a short time on the pitch. I hope he gets a chance to stake his claim for a place in the squad, his link-up play in some of the last few games was absolutely brilliant. I appreciate the Prem is a different kettle of fish but I hope he takes his chance if he does feature 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Google Bot 3,275 Posted September 24, 2021 Many people concerned about Placheta? He's been out a month with Covid. I'm hoping it's just his energy levels that means he can't get back into training - or perhaps it's just that he can't get a negative result to be cleared to train perhaps? Hope the guy hasn't been ill all this time, as that's going to be really depressing for him. Heart goes out to both players, hope to see them back into the swing of things soon. As for fishing for 'ITK' and 'Conspiracies' surrounding a young player who we've all been told is out for personal reasons, is despicable. The morality façade appears to fall very easily when it suits. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duncan Edwards 2,236 Posted September 24, 2021 There are some pretty awful posts on this thread. If there’s one thing that is evidently apparent about Todd Cantwell, it’s that he loves to play. He plays with freedom, expression and tries things that others might not be brave enough to. If there’s something going on in his life, let him deal with it and let him deal with it how HE sees fit. The kid is a human first and foremost. A son, a sibling, a grandson, a friend, whatever. Just mind your own ****ing business. It appears, to me at least, it’s something very important to him and, if it is, eventually you ghouls will find out. State of this board sometimes. 😔 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
