Manuel LANZINI could make a return for West Ham when they play Fulham.
The Argentina has been injured since the start of June after suffering a ruptured anterior knee ligament during training. West Ham coach Manuel PELLEGRINI had this to say on Wednesday in regards to the injuries of his players and more specifically, LANZINI:
“He is coming back from a long injury so we will decide the best way for him to return to the team. He is a player who gives you different things, he is very fast and a very technical player.”
“All four playmakers in our squad were injured, which is always difficult, so the return of [LANZINI and NASRI] injects more quality into the squad.”
No fresh injury concerns for West Ham who entertain Fulham on Friday night. "For this game we have the squad which played most of the [recent] games." Manuel Lanzini (knee) and Nasri (calf) might be included. "They [have] worked [all]. We will talk to the medical staff." #WHUFC

"All four playmakers in our squad were injured, which is always difficult, so the return of [Lanzini and Nasri] injects more quality into the squad," said Pellegrini. "We will analyse Jack Wilshere next week, then we will be more clear about his future." #WHUFC

On the availability of Lanzini after more than 8 months on the sidelines. "He is coming back from a long injury so we will decide the best way for him to return to the team. He is a player who gives you different things, he is very fast and a very technical player." #WHUFC

It really hurts to see a player like parades not even in the bench
You do realize Paredes was not allowed to play this match because the match was supposed to take place last December before PSG bought Paredes hence Paredes was disqualified from playing in this match. It had nothing to do with his ability or fitness.
Thank god
Great to hear that Manu is coming back, the kid’s a legit talent but sadly he’s also made of glass 🙁 He kinda reminds me of Marco Reus, a highly talented attacking player who seemed to miss out on all the major tournaments due to injury. I really hope Manu sorts his fitness issues out because if given enough time he can be world class and that’s not something I can say about alot of players.
Otamendi should never consider for NT…
who you suggest is better?
Can not wait for Lanzini to come back to the NT. I hope He will be fit for COPA
Vamos Argentina, carajo
Why the hell angel correa is in bench ?
Simeone is one of the worst manager in the europe . He is a coward dog.
Simeone isn’t coward but he is
Too defensive minded coach.
Which makes his team bit boring
To watch but wins tournaments
Like this
Bro there is a difference between World Cup and Champions League . In Champions League there 8-10 super strong teams unlike WC mostly 1 or 2. You cant win champions league by just parking the bus to win it you will have to play real tactical football.
True he is boring and coward
Bro I can’t disagree with you that
It’s true they ‘re very strong teams
In champions league. And
Some games you need to release
The hand brake. Plus I believe
If a correa were playing different
Manager would have been world
Class.
Atletico is on fire! I hope they don’t cool down by the end of the match, like most of the time.
Godin11: i like d/s and he does his best with what tools he has in his roster unlike so many of the other teams real.m, barca, man.c, man.c chel, b/m etc who all spend up large every year but ath.m do not spend or have massive budget to buy the best available as they simply do not have the money to.
As for lanz im very pleased he is back as i do rate his a lot but its far to early to even think about him being back for the copa as he needs to once again play and prove hes fit, then he must rediscover the wonderful form he once had, this will take time for lanz to do and for me no player should walk back into our n.t with out both fitness and wonderful current form-no one should be back in the n/t on past form/repuation alone as we have seen far to often in the last 10 plus years.
the shirt must always be earned!!!!
he came out slamming today, should have been 5 0 min.
I get why Correa didn’t start, he did afterall start the last 3 matches straight and now that Koke was fit simeone wanted to use the fresher of the 2.
I watched the last 30 min of the match and thought Atletico played pretty well and were the side that clearly deserved to win. My real complaint was how far wide Dybala was playing, for the love of god the kid’s a striker not an advanced right midfielder, which seemed to be the position he was playing at.
Great news
Although there is no info on G.Avila’s (COTIF fame) defensive attributes he scored two goals in two matches for boca reserve team. There is high chance that he will be back in team for WC
Yes he was best known for being best goalscorer among defenders on the youths levels in Rosario Central. We need to have on U-20 WC the talented trio of CBs: Nehuen Perez, Balerdi, Avila.
BTW
After kicking out Sao Paolo Talleres Cordoba play today Chilean Palestino in next round of CL qualifiers.
Yaa talleres vs palestino CL and DyJ in copa sudamericano today.
Also Atlanda united in concacaf league tomorrow it is not interesting as libertadores or sudameticano but there is indication that barco is returning to form under new manager so excited for him & Pity
It hurts when I don’t see so many Argentinian players(or always the same faces) in the starting 11 in champions league. Menotti got to do what he said, helping the local players having access to the national team. How exciting to see Lisandro Martinez, Saravia, Zaracho, Vargas, Dominguez playing with Messi.
Seriously this guy Vargas is real deal
He should the starting 11
He has good vision” good passer
Plus he dribble well just what
Arg need now.
I think his optimal position would be more central than LF as in Velez because his playmaking vision is outstanding. Central one, attacking midfielder would be best,
I’d like to see a 442 with Zaracho and Vargas on each side with Messi as half 9 with another striker(either a very fast winger/striker or a strong forward). Zaracho stays more on his line or drops deep to win back the ball. Vargas more freedom to cut in and leaves Tagliafico or Lisandro Martinez to take the left side.
Agreed he is kind type player like Eden Hazard .
To me more like Insigne or Papu Gomez.
the problem of Vargas is the lack of pace, speed, Hazard and Insigna are speed demons
Every game he shows some fast driblings. He has many goals that are made thanks to good speed like this one:

It’s hard to say he is not fast. Yes, Hazard is faster but Insigne and Papu are not faster at all and still one of the best players in Serie A. Some want to see in Vargas dribbler first of all. To me he is more like material for outstandig playmaker. His curled crosses and passes are inferior only to Messi.
Disadvantages? Still too many losts but it’s mostly because of his creative mind that takes risk of delivering non-obvious passes.
Qiuck-foot curled traversal pass it’s his trade mark.
Racing just hike up release clause for Zaracho to 24 mln:

Nasri-Lanzini could be amazing. Let’s hope he can find back his level.
I watched Barca game, even though Barca is no more the best team in the world but still strong, few teams can do that kind of short passing in opponent’s box surface. I think the team need to be renewed. I also believe that they should switch to 442 with a right winger playing next to Messi, that’s how make him comfortable, like 2 years ago. The same in the national team, with a traditional right winger(Angel Correa, Pussetto and especially Zaracho) and a left playmaker(Vargas, Pity, Lanzini or Di Maria). But in this case, you got to sacrifice either Paredes or Lo Celso because you really need at least 1 real DM in a 442. 442 has always been my favorite formation(also like 343). You put your best player as half-9/10 and he can have the total freedom. Bergkamp, Baggio and Totti were the best examples.
I hope that he will escape from the curse of getting injured again and again
Finally lanzini is back . Hope he starts to to perform in the same way as he did last year.
