Something STINKS !!!

Chadli wont be fit enough again for Monday !!!

Nacer Chadli is having an injection in his back from a specialist in Germany. Won't return to #wba training until Saturday  

Hate to be cynical, but he doesn't kick a ball for us, is absolutely fine for Belgium, and now needs an injection. Hmm.

I don't think it's some machiavellian-esque plot to keep him out of the side. But let's be honest, the bloke didn't want to get himself in shape in pre-season despite the entirety of the squad all going to Austria (as did many other Premier League sides, Altitude training seems to be catching on with most sides now) so it's safe to say he's blotted his copy book with Pulis and there's only one end result there.

However, I do have hope that all is not lost as someone I know who claims to have an "in the know" source has heard that the relationship is being repaired and Chadli will feature again soon. We do sorely need his reintroduction in my opinion and I'd swap him for Rodriguez in a heartbeat, he was poor against Watford and has really struggled on the whole since he signed other than Accrington Stanley away with a goal there.

We need to play Nacer in behind the striker if he does feature again soon, though. Completely wasted out on the wing.
