Gerrard saying he felt a bit of tightness in his calve and it was just precaution. Should be ok.

 

[Born under a union jack]

Hope it's not serious

 

[yarrumdavid01]

Thats good, these plastic pitches are no use for professional players careers

 

[student_loyal]

Four weeks then!

In all seriousness - great news.

 

[Clay Davis]

Good news.

I would still be inclined to start Alfie on Sunday.

 

[Burgh-Ger]

It looked that way - experienced pro on a sh*t pitch - it was the right thing to do

 

[chilebear]

I hope thats just the case.

 

[Mr Wilton]

I can see Morelos starting on Sunday v Hivs anyway. He loves a goal against them! Look at our injured players just now, a few seasons ago we’d have killed for such riches! Things are looking good, obviously more so when they’re all fit!

 

[vinnie]

Fingers crossed the gaffer is right.

 

[Ünnëcëssärÿ Ümläüts]

Gerrard saying he felt a bit of tightness in his calf and it was just precaution. Should be ok.

 

[lovenkrands72]

Nah on other threads he's apparently injury prone and we can't rely on him. Almost as though folk are talking absolute nonsense

 

[wee_bear]

Good news, hopefully nothing serious to add to our injury list!

 

[Sheik Ma Shammy]

good news.

 

[Sam English]

Good news.

Feared the worst when he got injured.

 

[Portrushbear]

Thats good, these plastic pitches are no use for professional players careers

As someone with a history of calf problems, I find unwatered sticky plastic pitches to be especially harsh

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

Good news.

I would still be inclined to start Alfie on Sunday.

Id play Roofe behind Alfie CD

 

[Business_Bear]

He's just starting to get his sharpness, fingers crossed it is just a precaution as the manager said.

 

[ThorntonMM]

Gerrard saying he felt a bit of tightness in his calve and it was just precaution. Should be ok.

Mind we heard something similar with Aribo ..

 

[Davieblue1977]

Damm plastic pitches

Good news though

 

[c_is_real]

Fingers crossed he came off just in time. I've a feeling he'll be on the bench at the weekend now, with Morelos starting.

 

[thedisher]

Good news.

I would still be inclined to start Alfie on Sunday.

I'd be inclined to start both of them!

 

[Belfastblue85]

How did he do today? Just in from work

 

[The Pontiac Bandit]

He walked off without limping.

Big run of games coming up so could do without anymore injuries.

 

[Enclosure-Loyal]

Hopefully it is just a precaution

 

[scooter70]

Will be shocked if Roofe is involved on Sunday, our history of playing down injuries then watching the player miss weeks in end is there for everyone to see

 

[SuperGers07]

Maybe give him the wee calf

 

[Portrushbear]

Fingers crossed he came off just in time. I've a feeling he'll be on the bench at the weekend now, with Morelos starting.

I think that's why Alfie got the whole second half, gave him a chance to get a decent warm up in at ht

 

[Henrywatson115]

I reckon couple of weeks for mr Roofe

 

[ca100]

Hopefully fit for the weekend. Got a feeling him and morelos could work really well together.

 

[Pablo Escobar]

Thing is I don't see it either Morelos or roofe we can play both no problem whatsoever

 

[TimzRFudz]

Calve???

 

[giogaddi]

How did he do today? Just in from work

He was the most lively until he went off. Some really nice takes and left a couple of defenders for dead. Nearly scored too.

Bizarrely seen a few "not convinced" posts on here and twitter.

 

[penilee57]

great to see we have strength in #’s... how many teams would wet themselves to have Morelos and Defoe come on as subs?

 

[ald]

I'd be inclined to start both of them!

Me too. Kent left, Alfie central and Roofe right, with plenty of the movement and interchanging of positions which we have seen amongst them, would do me just fine.

 

[Andrew webb]

Took Roofe at correct time thank goodness
Im sure he will be ok
Saying that after tackle on Alfredo i thought he would be out for months
Doctor webb not

 

[Gazza 8]

Him & Morelos will be great together if Alfie stays.

Hopefully he's fit for Sunday.

 

[Bordeaux]

Him & Morelos will be great together if Alfie stays.

Hopefully he's fit for Sunday.

I agree, also have a feeling Alfie will be here for the season. Excited to see what kind of partnership these 2 could build.

I’m in no way writing Itten off but it’s going to be hard for him to get the game time he needs if Morelos stays.

 

[fmp]

Fingers crossed

 

[Texas ranger]

He looked very handy today. He’s going to be a big player for us.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

He needs to stay fit and play regularly so hopefully this is nothing serious and just precautionary.

 

[jubileeblue]

Great news. He’s missed plenty of football due to calf and ankle problems so glad it’s not as bad as I feared.
