He's not played since the Chelsea game which was...weeks ago?
Thing is, even I could lose a around a stone in 2 to 3 weeks with the proper diet and exercise (my knee permitting), and I'm late 40s. So whilst I agree that Can does look slightly heavy set (similar to Molby though I think Can is just bigger built), I'm not buying his weight is keeping him off the field. At his age, with his metabolism, and everything else, he should be fit by now. I know he's been injured, but even so.
Fit is one thing.
Match fit is another, and carrying a bit of extra means it's unlikely he's near match fitness.
He's fu**ed after less than an hour.
That's all I think it is.
Again, I don't understand why people see this as an issue.
He'll get plenty of games in the future for us, because he is going to be an absolute beast of a player.
Personally, I'd rather he missed a few matches than run the risk of a bad injury which could set him back a lot.
