Gilberto Boost for Brum
7 comments September 29th, 2005
The Brazilian midfielder could be back in time for our Sunday afternoon encounter with Steve Bruce’s Birmingham. He was expected to be out for 4-6 weeks, but one positive scan later, and it’s all looking good again.
To be honest, we need him. Flamini and Fabregas did well against Ajax, but we would always miss the invaluable experience of a player like Gilberto. In the absence of Patrick Vieira, he’s really stepped up a gear, flying into tackles that last year he would have stepped out of.
That’s the only real news around at the moment. Justin Hoyte has been made available for our League Cup clash with Sunderland, but whether or not that frees up Mart Poom to play I am not sure.
Er. That’s it.
