I think it sounds a lot worse than it is. Agreed. And when we get into Europe next year it will be the norm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Interview with Dean where he discusses the Covid Outbreak. 6 players and 3 staff initially, followed by 4 more positive tests. 8 U23s were training with the first team hence the weakened team (which we already knew). A few players with symptoms, at least one having to spend some time in bed. Speaks of a staggered return for everybody, not unexpected and the most likely scenario but a shame we (and they!) Weren't lucky enough to all be asymptomatic. Also makes me think we'll have a slightly weakened team for atleast Man City if some aren't back yet. My concern is the 'No Chance!' to being positive and then being bed ridden sounds like Jack's words 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a couple will miss City yeah. He said three players who were meant to play v Liverpool were positive - depends how strong you think we were gonna go for that game but I imagine we'd have been weaker given schedule, so I think mainly first XI players positive based on that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted January 17, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 17, 2021 Matt Targett has apparently transferred himself and Grealish out of his FPL team: Though it was apparently before the Newcastle match was rescheduled so he might’ve just been after double game week players, who knows.

It’s because of Newcastle and the double game. Don’t worry Jack is fine. Just hope everyone get fine soon and keep well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed everyone is fine and without long term symptoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Very anxious to see how the players recover and if anyone has longer lasting effects from it. Salah hasn't been the same since he had it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salah didn't look like he was suffering any kind of covid-esque after affects to me yesterday (as in he was still quick and so on). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
