does anyone know what happened to lucas and how long his out for?

i was absolutely gutted when he limped off but seeing allen play and with sahin to come in am confident they could do a good job. lets hope lucas is back soon

Don't know how long he's out but I read he felt a twinge in his thigh while taking a shot during warm-ups. I guess he tried to play with it since the starting 11 was already published but couldn't manage it for long. It didnt look too serious. Maybe a couple of weeks I hope.

Thigh injury could be out for a month.

same leg as the knee injury? Hopefully he won't be rushed back and can take his time getting all the muscles sorted and strengthened around the knee otherwise he'll end up with constant niggles and at worst a reoccurence of the knee injury

I think most players get niggley injuries for a while after coming back from long-term injuries don't they.

Ye. all the muscles around the knee need to be strengthened and if theres an imbalance it leads to problems with hamstrings etc

Earliest indications are 6-8 weeks.

i bet thats him bolxd now. itll be one thing after another.

That's a massive blow. Good timing with getting Sahin in though. Lucas will be missed, but we have Allen, Gerrard & Sahin to play there with Shelvey as decent back to to either of them.

Behave.
