I mean a sore throat in isolation. Cold, flu, the works - get it. Step 1, sore throat. Step 2, cold EDIT: or covid. 'Monitoring the situation' = 'seeing if he develops a cold (EDIT: or covid) that would reduce his ability to play top level football at the necessary standard to face some of the best players in the world'.

There’s also some sort of viral illness going round that they might be monitoring for. Can’t remember the name. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 (edited) When was the last time any of you had a sore throat? It can be genuinely unpleasant.

Im intrigued by this... is it a proven thing? I get that isn't probably good at the time, and maybe puts significant strain on your body, but if it doesn't cause any other immediate problems, surely it just equates to a really extreme workout? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. The risk of myocarditis is increased by training hard when having a fever or sore throat. So one needs to be careful even if the risk is relatively low. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakemineVanilla Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Dendoncker is included in a fan's best team of Anderlecht alumni, playing on the left of a back-three with Kompany in the centre. The question is whether he's a replacement or cover foe Mings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other covid symptoms would have kept me from exercising, I don't think the sore throat in isolation would have. If the sore throat is indicative that he has other symptoms of a cold/flu/laryngitis etc then I get why it would keep him out of a game. If it's JUST a sore throat, then I don't get it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, although covid seems very much a daily life kind of thing now, i suspect it could still take out a squad if an outbreak happened. About the last thing we need right now, I'd file it just above keeping Gerrard in preferred outcomes this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterSw Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Wonder if he will play as the #6 and allow Kamara to play as more of an #8 in SG's Christmas tree of death formation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAZZAM Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 His stats arnt to bad if you look deep enough. Think he might be the nasty presence some might want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesterDad Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 I’m pretty much non plussed about this signing tbh - based on a good friend who has a season ticket at dingles and whose opinion I trust - he told me, he is a work horse, but not much else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 SG pretty much confirming this was more of an opportunity signing which came up late as they never thought he was available in the first place. Wasn't on any lists etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess some of our fans are stronger men than us, and athletes When even swallowing and breathing is painful I don't see how it's a walk in the park as some make out. I suffer chronic ENT issues and I'm telling you it's misery. Edited September 2, 2022 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
