Digne suffered ankle fracture in training-ground incident

Odd that we didn't get to hear the full extent of the injuries at the time.

A tackle from behind in a match, is a red card, because it endangers an opponent. Totally brainless idiot.

Maybe you're right - can sound more accidental if soft tissue only.

His forward play has been missed and I would have hoped Nkounkou would have been the one to step up but obviously Godfrey is preferred as he can be used across the back four and has done well defensively.

Nkounkou will probably play against Rotherham.

Likely a right-sided player so I'm guessing James who also missed a few more games than expected or perhaps Gordon who was dropped from the squad and looked a little sheepish against Sheffield Utd.

Delph – motive... left-back berth;
Richarlison – motive... none, but prone to silly challenges and has been "off it" since;
Gordon – motive... a place on the team sheet (the more injuries, the better);
Gomes – Motive... Portuguese have a rivalry with their South American cousins and grumpy;
Davies – wouldn't get near Digne (innocent);
Holgate – motive... likes a tackle and wants to be top dog;
Mina – gormless enough to lean out a giant peg and trip him;
Keane – miss-timed it! Been on the naughty step last game;
Godfrey... mmm, likes to play left-back;
Sigurdsson – like Davies, too slow;
Doucouré – No, he's a fellow Froggy;
Iwobi – certainly quick enough but shits-out of any tackle;
Calvert-Lewin – capable but too busy waiting for a cross;
Coleman – on his day, could catch him but, with his own injury experience, too sensible in training;
James – could explain his weird "injuries" and loving presser to the fans;
Allan – injured... or was he?
Olsen – "Who, me?"
Pickford – has previous.

Take your pick... maybe Michael will do a poll? ;.)

Bill may have dropped his wallet on Digne's ankle...

In some respects it's a good thing the lid has been kept on it, shows the squad are listening and respect Ancelotti's command.

But seriously this was much worse than what we heard before, and I'm impressed he is progressing so fast with that kind of damage done. Hope he doesn't lose speed.
