    No issue with the guy getting a look in if he's tearing it up in Serie B, but so far he's come off the bench and scored one goal, so we're a good bit away from that yet. Realistically he'd want to be one of the standout players in the division to warrant a call up and the same applies to Connolly. Similar to League 1 in England, anyone getting a call up from there at this point should be a standout at that level (e.g. Jason Knight).

    Elbouzedi was mentioned as a comparison but he's just not good enough and seems to have lost his place in Sweden, and that's a weak league anyway. St Johnstone seems to be Graham Carey's level and he was probably playing at a similar level in Bulgaria or wherever and I don't think there's anyone in the MLS that we haven't called up that it feels like we've missed out on. It's a poor enough quality league that is glossed over by some decent attendances and a small handful of designated players that earn high wages.

    Or maybe tune in to one of their upcoming games and catch a falling star (Fabregas)

    First start today, but they lost 2-0 to Frosinone. Fabregas has only played once so far - as a sub alongside Kerrigan last week - and they've two points from the first four games. They've had a tough run of fixtures, but maybe a little bit of pressure on given the money behind the club. Thierry Henry was recently announced as a stakeholder, so they're definitely trying to create something.

    Starts again against Sudtirol.

    Venezia play tomorrow and, going by reports, Connolly did well and was their most effective forward in their previous match with Benevento.

    I notice Venezia signed the highly-rated Finland striker Joel Pohjanpalo from Bayer Leverkusen before the transfer window closed, so more competition for Aaron, though it seems Connolly is going to be used on the left of a front three (his best position, I think) with Pohjanpalo used as the central striker.

    Torn ACL for Kerrigan apparently.

    Coming up on a year since Kerrigan's injury. Didn't start against Gillingham in their recent friendly. Can't find any other info on Como's lineups as yet - not sure if others can?

    Would have hoped he'd be close to a return by now, but not sure where he's at in his recovery.

    Fabregas has retired, though is staying on as a coach. At least he got to play one game alongside him

    Hopefully he didnt have another set back, all though that wouldnt be usual with an ACL.

    Played the second half of yesterday's 2-1 friendly defeat against Cagliari. Great to see.

    Both sides put out close on different XIs for each half

    Bit of an update here on him recently:

    https://www.independent.ie/sport/soc...181385269.html

    He got on for last 30 mins of league game at weekend, Como were 3-0 down at that stage.

    I believe it's his first start in league this season, today, against Modena.

    Como currently third, behind Parma and Venezia.

    First start for Como today since his injury 15 months ago - and he comes off after half an hour. Presumably another injury; hopefully not as serious as the last one obviously.

    Como - with Fabregas now as manager - are up to third in Serie B after winning today

    Funny our both posting about this at the same time!

    Worth noting, it was Kerrigan's 8th appearance of the season today, and none have lasted much more than about half an hour.

    Of course we hope that his coming off was precautionary, and nothing too serious.

    Yep - got confused looking at the thread for a sec!

    Great to see him get a start - not just after injury, but after being used as a sporadic sub this season too, and under a new manager. News from Serie B looks thin on the ground; here's hoping it's just precautionary and he's at least in the squad next week. That might be the first indication of what happened

    Not named in the squad today unfortunately

    So on to hoping he won't be too long on the sidelines

    Has joined Novara in Serie C on loan, presumably for the rest of the season. Made his debut last week. Disappointing, though at least the injury wasn't long term.
