Player Watch: Moussa Sissoko

[John48]

He could be in a bit of trouble if this team plays to it's potential, on the other hand we could be desperate to have him back on New Years day.

 

[rsmith]

And athleticism.

And waving his arms a lot just in case anybody is looking to pass to him. Fair play, I doubt if I could point like that for a full 90 minutes.

Sissoko out until April according to the OS.

Knee ligament damage.

Full article;

Following a clinical assessment and scans, Moussa Sissoko has today (Tuesday) undergone surgery to the medial collateral ligament in his right knee.
The France international sustained the injury in our fixture against Southampton, resulting in him missing our recent FA Cup tie at Middlesbrough.
Our medical staff will monitor Moussa’s recovery before he commences rehabilitation with a view to returning to training in early April.

Time to be “reactive” now.

Who would have thought Sissoko being injured for so long might force Levy to put his hand in his pocket!

 

[Gassin's finest]

Arse...

 

[Stamford]

Oh god. Cant remember this many being injured before

 

[Macwally]

Arse...

Crap! What little energy we did have in the team just went down significantly.

 

[Buster18]

This might be a blessing in disguise. I think he's an excellent player but doesn't fit in a midfield 2. He spends far too much time on the right hand side of the pitch

Around about this time last season, when we suspiciously started struggling away from home?

 

[Macwally]

Bentaleb is (apparently) available ?

 

[SpartanSpur]

Go and buy Soumare now, CM additions are vital. As for Moussa I love him as a squad player but I think when he starts at CM it doesn't help us. He overcompensates for Aurier's defensive weakness IMO and leaves the midfield wide open. Still wish him a speedy recovery however.

 

[stevenurse]

Not a big problem about being short in midfield because at least our goalkeeper, defence and attack are all sorted...



Fuck.

He mainly does this because he's Aurier's babysitter tbf

With Sissoko out, Ndombele with his own injury/fitness issues, suddenly starting look quite bare in midfield. Lo Celso also still acclimatising Winks and Dier it is I suppose

Also who's going to bail Aurier out now .

 

[JKendall13]

Healthy CMs: Dier, Winks, and Skipp.

It's not what you want!

i wouldnt mind seeing Foyth given a chance as a DM (DESPITE his potential to to resemble Vlad Chiriches in that position)

 

[JCRD]

When the hell did he get injured?

I swear players are getting injured for nothing now

 

[yido_number1]

As others have said Sissoko has become very effective for us but he creates as many problems for us as he solves. Hopefully we spend some money on an effective DM to free up Ndombele, Winks or Lo Celso to play a more expansive game.
