    With his luck the whole bally shop will fall on his knee and we'll never see the poor chap again.

    Bet we don't seem him this season tbh - maybe a brief sub appearance in the final 2 games.

    I’m going to stick my neck out and say he will be back for last 2 (maybe 3) games and will be named as a standby for the WC squad.

    wooooo....back in a couple of weeks maybe? great to see him on the training pitch again. firmly believe him, hughes and cleverley could be great together next year.

    Lets hope he can make a couple of the games before the season end. Looks like Kaboul is taking an active part in that video too, far less exciting but hopefully another option for the back line soon. Why isn't the rest of our team be anywhere close to quality of our midfield?

    The undeniable truth First Team Captain

    Good news that all the squad will be fit to enjoy their summer holidays before picking up their season ending hamstring tweaks in early autumn.

    It's being so cheerful that keeps you going!
    Nice to see him back.
    Fingers crossed that he has made a full recovery.

    Cool music.

    Those kinda tunes (Ed: please check) normally accompany a show reel of 30 yard bangers & mazy box to box dribbles.

    Splendidly sedate in comparison.

    The pink thing does make it look a prosthetic limb with a price sticker left on.

    He's been out for so long, and the club have been so quiet about it, that I was becoming convinced that his was going to be one of those horrible slow-burn retirement stories along the lines of Gareth Williams/Ryan Mason.

    I won't be counting any chickens until I see him putting in a 30 game season with some full-Julian ****s/Stuart Pearce challenges

    There has to be a reasonable chance that he won't be the same player...? As I understand it, he pretty much snapped his kneecap which has to be a very difficult injury to fully recover from. Pereyra has never been the same

    Must have done some ligament damage too I guess.

    He probably won't be flying into tackles too quickly - maybe they have just decided to write this season off and make sure he is fully ready for the new one.

    Lets hope that is the case, as it would be such waste of talent if his career is over :(

    He's finding form now he's got a run of games in his strong position. Same will happen for Chalobah.

    Yeah, though I figure it would be something of a mental boost for him heading into summer if he can get a few minutes pitch time. Even if it''s just 85th minute onward at Old Trafford.

    Bobby P’s impersonation of Julian ****s was definitely waned.

    Happily his impersonation of his old self has been pretty decent of late.

    His Julian Fellowes impersonation has improved no end but his Bernard Julien needs more attention!

    There's some similarity with the flamboyant Julien.

    Btw, RP boasts a slightly alarming scare on the forehead.

    A gangland initiation?

    Hamfisted L Colney reprogamming work?

    Interesting observation on the scar never noticed it before. Couldn’t find anything online about it.

    Any truth in the rumour that Snake wanted to operate him by remote control from the dugout?

    Chip inserted in forehead during routine knee op.

    That man was dastardly.

    I doubt we won't see Chalobah again this season, no point in risking him

    He was running around the pitch in an awful matching top and shorts before the game. One thigh looked twice the size of the other.

    With Ndong practically back at Sunderland I'd imagine Chalobah will be named on the bench for the Man Utd game, maybe even Newcastle. He might not get on the pitch but it'll be a great boost for him.

    The amount of time it has now taken him to recover is frankly boring. Go on holiday Chalobah and return pre season, you’re no good to us now.

    Fated to run round in circles forever.

    Like the jamon iberico pigs.

    They are tethered so that one side gets more exercise.

    It’s the ‘driver’s side’ leg which is the more valuable.

    Hopefully, Gino hasn’t instructed Dr Nick to put Chalobah on an acorn rich diet.

    From today’s training! Can’t wait to see him back on the pitch playing for us!

    Even more importantly, Hoban is back!

    He sure is, let’s hope they don’t break each other!

    Not gonna lie, I’m over the moon for Hoban. Genuinely showed enough promise for us to persevere with him and he’s still young. If he can recapture even 60% of what he had, he’d be pushing to start for us given our defence. If he’s as close to being back as taking part in training, he’s got to be worth a new contract.

    Prediction: Chalobah and Deulofeu break each others legs in a crunching duel during training.

    ...but his legs can't take the strain of his own body weight and both ankles dislocate, his knees buckle against the joint and his pelvis shatters like sugar glass.
     
  34. ...as long as his foot isn't bruised though.

    I listen to a podcast called Golazzo, presented by James Horncastle.

    The latest episode is a half hour chat with Chalobah about his time at Napoli.

    If he didn't play for us now I wouldn't recommend it but some of you may find it interesting!
