He picked up two separate knocks. One where he either jarred a knee or collided with a post (hard to tell), the other when the keeper & two defenders made a last ditch block on him.I didn’t see the game last night but a couple of podcasts that I’ve listened to this morning seem to think Kane got injured and will likely be out for this weekend?

If Dier is injured and Emerson is suspended:
Lloris
Romero Lenglet Davies
Spence Højbjerg Bissouma Bentancur Sessegnon
Kane Son
Is Deki still out?
Yes, sadly. Out for another couple of weeks apparently (or so I hear)
Hear where?
Can't see any time frame mentioned anywhere
Bang on mateI think this weekend will be the start of Conte trying to “squad manage”, which he’ll have to do. Too many games coming up to not have one or two players each game given a rest. I get Conte doesn’t rate some of our bench, and that is fine, but some will need minutes to rest other players, ideally in games we should win.
For this game, it’s too good a side in Brighton to tinker much. Assuming Kulusevski is out, I’d hope for a 352 with Bissouma in for Richy/Son with the other primed to come on in the second half raring to go. Also, would love Spence to start, but it’ll be Perisic RWB and Sess LWB, which should be fine as Royal will start Wednesday vs Frankfurt.
If he picks the same starting X1 with Sess replacing Royal and we put in a performance like last weekend, then the pressure and criticism will intensify and it will be interesting to see how he reacts..
Thx. That is a big bummer.Yes, sadly. Out for another couple of weeks apparently (or so I hear)
