KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Nathaniel Clyne, What's Going On?

Does anyone actually know what injury Clyne is suffering with? How long he is out for? I'm guessing it's a while seen as he's been left out of the Champions League squad.

There doesn't seem to be much information regarding his injury or return date which I find strange?

I heard he missed out on his dream move to Real Madrid.

He has a back injury.

Or. I don't know and it is pretty strange I thought he was only supposed to miss the first 2/3 games

I heard on the radio he wasn't in the CL squad, so that probably rules him out until Xmas at least, seems a mysterious injury, started as hamstring in pre-season then became a back injury, gonna be interesting who gets the RB slot as Klopp keeps switching between TAA & Gomez, if he's out that long we need continuity, so will have to play a regular starter at RB.

I think we'll continue to rotate Alexander-Arnold and Gomez, AA is definitely better going forwards but Gomez is easily better defensively.

It's a risk rotating them as the defense won't be settled and they need to be used to playing together, we look disorganized defending set pieces as is.

I read he may have a broken bone in his back. It was from some rubbish rumours site so probably ball hang but it must be more serious than they're letting on.

I saw an article on SkySports today where Klopp said he's out for around 3 months with a back injury, at least there is some clarity as to what's going on with him.

' Bad Back' syndrome, as in the Coutinho variety, is a very contagious and debilitating condition. In the army they call it malingering and punishable by court-martial, if deemed repetitively severe enough. Around beautiful, murmuring Burn Dale, it's called gaming-on, sometimes referred to as lazy basturd disease, and punishable (and occasionally curable) by a hefty size twelve boot up the transom.
However, I have no doubt Clyne's case is not referable to as: 'Bad Back' syndrome, the venerable, industrious and committed Clyne is quite clearly suffering from a 'Back Injury' now that's an entirely different condition totally unrelated to 'Bad Back' syndrome, and is sympathetically treatable by the most eminent of eminent specialists in medical practice. Let there be no confusion regarding those two conditions.
