Still injured, for all we know that might be the reason he played so little part in the few games before that. Which wouldn't surprise me if that was the case because he started the 5 or 6 games before that and was really starting to play well too.
Maybe he's been carrying something, but before Fulham he'd been on the bench for previous PL games so have to assume he was fit enough to play - while before that thought he'd done well enough in some PL matches. But now looks like is out again
Ah it's just a pity, earlier in the season we were willing him along, hoping his form and confidence would grow - and I thought he was starting to show signs in games back before the first Munich tie - and was thinking he was going to be a real asset for us in the last 3rd of the season, but that's starting to look like it's not gonna happen.
You never know though I guess. But after paying 50 odd mill for him, we haven't seen the player we expected, that box to box hard running, tough tackling, goal threat type of player. Yet. And there's always next season...
