Great Danes/Mastiff/big dogs. (pretty sure Great Dane is the image on the badge but Dogues de Bordeaux is a kind of mastiff and Dogue Allemand is another name for Great Dane...)
It's on a streaming service called Fanatiz USA, which I hadn't ever heard of until yesterday. $8/month subscription.
He didn’t so much of anything. Just some running up and down the offensive half of the field with a few very light challenges. No spark.
I am impressed the coach ran him back out there first game he was available. Hope that’s a good sign of more playing time to come soon!
It should be a sign of more PT, but not too much. After so long out they'll look to give him 10-20 minutes off the bench to make sure there's no reaction and that he hasn't lost anything. If things look good, he'll be contending for starts in 3-4 weeks. The season's 2/3rds over an Lille are out of contention** for the CL spots. No need to rush things. Just get him fit and in the groove and build for next season. ** edit: still in contention for the CL spots without him damned mobile phone typing with old guy's fingers
Always the wise poster, you are. I rep a lot of your posts, but I'd like to publicly thank you for your contributions to BS!
We need to have a YA Injured Players Sub-Thread. This is just ridiculous. It's only our most talented players that are lost though, no big deal. Pulisic, Adams, Weah, meh.
Yep, grabbed at his thigh after a run... https://soccer.nbcsports.com/2020/02/17/timothy-weah-re-injured-on-return-to-field/
This is ridiculous, but I suppose my glimmer of hope is that he finished out the game. As someone who pulls a lot of muscles, I find the ones you can play through usually take a couple weeks to heal as opposed to a couple months.
If it wasn’t for Weston’s super human healing ability... I would like to know if the Yanks Abroad are just having a bad stretch of coincidental coinciding injuries or if there is some underlying cause for the *seemingly high rate of injuries. *do the YA have a higher than average rate of injuries than any other arbitrary group or is it just crappy die rolls that happen to land on Yanks lately?

Yeah, it would be interesting to know if the US players are getting injured at a higher rate. I know the usual explanation is that we just pay attention more to our guys, and we have fewer high-end players compared to the best teams, so it stands out more when some of our good players are out. However, I am also a fan of the Pittsburgh Penguins in the NHL. As Pens fans, we have had these same questions, and recent analysis has shown that the Pens have actually lost players to injury for a much greater than average number of games the last decade. So, sometimes your team really does have a much worse injury track record than normal.
i am probably just frustrated, but a young world class athlete with basically unlimited club resources committed to helping him regain full health blowing up the same exact hamstring within 20 or so minutes of playing on it just seems so wild
