If Olsen is fit we'll effectively be playing without a goalkeeper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted December 19, 2022 Author Share Posted December 19, 2022 Guess they will go argentina today. Be there for maybe 5 days which would take us to 24th. Leaving a days training although he is a keeper doesnt really need as much fitness training as a outfield player. I reckon he will miss liverpool game and be bac back for spurs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman22 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I assume Emi is out for this game. Olsen fills me with dread every time he plays! Other than that we should be at full strength! Even our other WC players are already back! I thought Liverpool would’ve had a load of players at the WC but not really bad they beat AC Milan a few days ago 4-1, Nunez was back from the WC and got two. I think this is going to be a tough one but hopefully Unai can set us up to get a result! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMelvillan Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 hope he is back and rightly paraded and heralded in front of the home fans before kick off. he just has to wait til messi's back is turned so he can grab the trophy and get it back to B6 for that purpose alone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll do some sort of parade, meet fans/president and that will be it. Given the World cup has finished now we could actually insist on recalling him straightaway as FIFA would have no say in the matter but of course it's important to give him time to celebrate in his homeland. I don't see why he can't be back in this country by Thursday evening and then it's a case of how focused he is. Can get in two training sessions if we're in on xmas day so that would be enough.

Well the parade is today. Say they party tonight, recovery day tomorrow and maybe some TV interviews. Then fly back Thursday, in training Friday and Sunday, play Monday. It's possible.

duke313 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Has anyone seen from other clubs if they expect their players back? Spurs have Romero, United have Lisandro Martinez, Brighton have Mac Allister and City have Alvarez. Be worth keeping an eye on to see if any of them return before Boxing Day.
