Newcastle defenders Dummet and Willems out for season
More injury woe for Newcastle, with Steve Bruce confirming Jetro Willems and Paul Dummett will miss the rest of the season.
Willems was carried off on a stretcher in the opening stages of Saturday's win against Chelsea with what now has been confirmed as an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
“It’s what we feared. He’s (Willems) ruptured his ACL and will miss, obviously, the rest of the season," said Bruce. "He’s been a very decent player for us and we’ll miss him. We wish him a speedy recovery.
"We’ve had bad news on Paul Dummett too. It looks as if he’ll be out for the rest of the season with a tendon injury in his leg so it’s been a bad weekend in that respect. We wish him well.”
It never rains but it pours.
two very big blows for us.

Re: Newcastle defenders Dummet and Willems out for season
At least we’re well covered at CB and Ritchie has returned at the right time. Might force Ashley to make some moves in the window but won’t hold my breath.
I'm the scumbag outlaw. You're the pillar of justice. Neither of us like looking at ourselves in the mirror. Do we have a deal?

Re: Newcastle defenders Dummet and Willems out for season
And it sounds like the team are focusing on CM signings in the wake of inadequate cover for defensive and attacking positions.
I mean, we still f***ing have Saivet on the books - do they learn nothing?

I’d rather play Willems with his ruptured ACL

Lazaar might just be the worst signing we've ever made.
Re: Newcastle defenders Dummet and Willems out for season
Frees up two places in the 25 man squad so we can get two more new signings in without selling anyone.

Leighton Baines can't get a game at Everton
Re: Newcastle defenders Dummet and Willems out for season
I'd take Baines on loan until the end of the season

Re: Newcastle defenders Dummet and Willems out for season
I can't believe Baines is still at Everton. I was surprised he never left them when at his peak, and I can't believe they still want him now that he's on the other side of his career. Feels like he's been around forever. He might not even be that old, I have no idea anymore what his age is.

Re: Newcastle defenders Dummet and Willems out for season
Now that I'm in my early-mid 30s, I find it harder to guess or keep track of player ages. It's so weird to be older than almost everyone playing.Tsi wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2020 11:00 pmHe's 35Remember Colo wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2020 10:53 pmI can't believe Baines is still at Everton.

Yeah i find that. I'm 34 and look at players in their mid to late 20s and think they look older than meRemember Colo wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2020 11:03 pmNow that I'm in my early-mid 30s, I find it harder to guess or keep track of player ages. It's so weird to be older than almost everyone playing.
