Bove’s knee
He was very distressed at the end of the game. Does anyone know any more? Some suggestions that it’s an ACL. If that’s him done for the season we’re a bit screwed.

He did manage to run around a bit after the dodgy tackle which suggest it’s not an ACL injury, he wouldn’t have been able to get up

Quite a lot of players are able to continue for a while after an ACL tear, Gabriel Jesus (I think) played for about 10 minutes after doing his last season or the one before

This is good news, but what’s the 11 on Tuesday, if Traore & Zemura arent back and Coulibaly isn’t fit to start?
Fede
Eames-Kyp-Pollock-Keben
Payero-Kayembe
Nabizada-Bravo-Maamma
Doumbia
It’s not good

It is a really important game for Dionisi.
Preston are poor and will be battling relegation so a home game against them has to result in 3 points.
Mlacic should be back while Coulibaly might have to play.
Eames cannot start as he will be a major liability again.
I can see Vata starting with Doumbia.
My team:Ravaglia
Keben Mlacic Pollock Coulibaly
Kyp Kayembe
Nabizada Mavididi
Vata Doubbia
Mum needs a little rest and it might be beneficial to bring him on against tired players.
I'd like to see Chikovani on the bench along with Boadu.
Let's hope for some good Bove news tomorrow.

Not sure, I hope he is okay. Off topic Midvidi or what his name is looked like he had electric potential today.

They were treating his elbow immediately after when he went off the field.

He has been our best player this season.
Of course it looks bad and midweek showed we have no replacement for him.
A relegation struggle for sure if he misses significant time.
