Saha out for two weeks

Dead_Man_Inc SG

Louis Saha could be out for a fortnight after suffering a groin injury during the New Years Day clash against Newcastle.

United drew the match 2-2, but Saha was forced off after half an hour of the clash at St James Park.

The United boss confirmed: "It's a groin injury, so it could be a couple of weeks. But, who knows? We will assess it properly tomorrow [Tuesday].

"The timing of it [during the match] was unfortunate for us, but I thought Ji-sung Park did well when he came on."

Fortunately, the Reds have Ole Gunnar Solskjaer back to full fitness and the arrival of Henrik Larsson, who is elligible to make his debut in the FA Cup against Aston Villa this weekend, is a timely signing.

darn it, why is he so prone to injuries? Twisted Evil

marcteng SG

some players are more fragile than others. giggs also prone to hamstring

iceFatboy SG

cause he relies on speed and for those type of players, their hamstrings are vulnerable.

as for Saha, fortunaely, we got larsson to come in.
cause we are missing tons of chances at the moment, and we need a predator.

hope saha doesn't lose his "touch" after his absence. he damm suay, supposedly rested for two matches & genna injured when play, like that might as well don't rest.

Larsson only here for 10 weeks...hopefully by then the title is more or less done. Or maybe Rossi can shine....

I guess his injury isn't that serious... 2 weeks is quite ok. Normally when they say 2 wks it about 1 wk then another wk to get match fit.

Anyway, there won't be an EPL match for them until Jan 13... That's about 2 weeks alway and we have Larsson just on time to take over for the time being.

I won't be surprise if he is named on the bench against Aston Villa on 13 of Jan. But i guess he won't make it for the first Villa match on 7 of Jan (English FA Cup).

After what Villa did to chelsea last night at villa park, Man u have to be on their game this weekend to get the result and avoid a re-match...

now can see larsson play Mr. Green

saha reminds me of andy cole, another pacy striker and misses lot of chances to score, usually need 4-5 chances to put 1 in.

iceFatboy SG

friend, strikers are not snipers, one shot one kill.
most of them needs a few chances to score.
but sometimes, do score in one chance lor.

we just have to look at the average scoring and shooting rates.

marcteng SG

ya true, but when you are in the clear and is one on one with the goalie, you ought to score Mr. Green

that just separate a good striker from a great striker isn't it.

Eh yah ah? Machiam Cole ah haha.. Oh well let’s just hope Saha and Rooney finds their form…

I like Saha, his ball control is good Laughing

iceFatboy SG

he is more team player, and his aerial power, impressive.

but he is not as lethal as RVN in the box.
