Maybe after he’s played a run of 10 or so matches without injury.0So how long exactly do we need to wait for this ‘match rhythm’?

I hope so as Ndombele has all the skills.Funnily enough, people were questioning Lo Celso's desire just 2 months ago (Bayern game springs to mind) and we had comments like "he simply isn't a Jose player" and "will go the way of Mata under Jose", even at the start of January people were saying he was too ponderous and would never adapt to the pace of the PL and now he is arguably our most important player.
A lot can change in a couple of months.
Jose’s take
“It’s very difficult to start a player who doesn’t have 90 minutes in him when there is a chance you could go to extra time,” Mourinho said. “You know with that player you already have one substitution. But without Dele Alli, Lamela and Lo Celso I need somebody to connect a little bit. So I have to start with Tanguy even though I know he couldn’t play. So after one hour they [the fans] don’t follow. Maybe they think this coach is an idiot for taking him off. I’m not an idiot.”

Didn't know we have some many nutritionist, fitness gurus and sports science doctors in our midst. Hope you all can work with the club to assist Tanguy reach his potential.
There was also the guy who played squash against his pal for an hour, which is of course just as hard as competing at the top level of professional football.
Quick question where can you get stats on distance covered per match, number of sprints, etc for Ndombele, would be interesting to compare this season to last season if that has not already been done.
Would be interesting to see the comparison

You probably won't find any detailed stats for free. Champions League are showing Distance Covered for midfielders so i compared them.
