Emil Krafth

[Alberto2005]

Forgot about Manquillo tbh, doubt we'll go in for someone now.

[David Edgar]

Injured thanks to the ref not getting control of the dangerous tackles.  Whilst the tackle that did him wasn't dangerous, it was clear foul play and the player went in confident he wouldn't get a yellow...

[La Parka]

He's improved massively under Howe. Hope he recovers well. 

[PauloGeordio]

Any update on his injury? 

[UncleBingo]

Wonder if he's spoken to Isak about coming here?

[gbandit]

Not sounding great this, hopefully he’s back before Christmas 

[ponsaelius]

Would imagine he's out of the squad. Good job Manquillo has hung around.

[David Edgar]

Shite for us and Emil.  Seems a top man.

 

Let's not forget that Manquillo is solid.

[xLiaaamx]

Unfortunate but that's how it goes sometimes. He got his foot in because Manquillo got inured against Villa and now Manquillo will get a look in because he's injured. 

[OverThere]

What actually happened? Was it a contact injury or did he just go to ground with no contact?

It was an awful clumsy tackle from their left back. Emil has the World Cup to look forward to too

[Happinesstan]

Hopefully he'll be back in time to handle Zaha in the next round.

Yeah, their clogger just deliberately clattered through Krafth who landed awkwardly.  I dunno exactly how his knee was damaged in that, but the blame is on the clogger and pathetic ref.

[Tsunami]

Hit him knee high at the side. A leave one on him challenge. Krafth didn’t see it coming either so couldn’t prepare for it.

[Lazarus]

I thought the Tranmere players studs went into the back of Krafths knee at the time

Ouch.  suffered similar at about 15. Couldn't walk for a week. Years later , when my knee started clicking, I discovered I had calcified haemoglobin, basically a large lump of extra bone. No doubt he'll get better treatment than me.

Looked bad from the start. Hope it's not though. I love Manquillo. He must be a mule in training though. Rarely let's anyone down when playing but all our managers have had spells playing him and then dropping him again for long spells.

I've always thought he struggles to get up to speed, but once he's settled he's solid. With his injury he hasn't benefitted as much from Howe's training so it'll be interesting to see if that's changed.

Sweden didn’t qualify, gives him extra time to recover anyway 

[TBG]

It was described by one of the commentators as an "aggressive" tackle which apparently made it okay.

Out for "several months" according to his IG

[FCB]

Out injured for a few months

[54]

 

[HaydnNUFC]

Probably best to leave him out the squad to make room.

[TRon]

Feel for the lad, I don't think anyone was expecting the cup game to turn into 90 mins of violent assault by Tranmere. Their coach is obviously a right cunt.
