Indeed, I'm willing these rumours to be rubbished!

I'd say GWs experience will see him start over O'Kane. A dark day lads, thing is I loved Meylers challenge on Hennessy at the time, hindsight etc.Originally Posted by liamoo11
The lads on ybig basically want to send McCarthys family a wreath. Yet i cant find one media source to confirm this
He's not in the squad for their game at Leicester today.
Look at O'Kane. Just pretend Whelan is injured. Whelan against Eriksen - you'd have to back the Villa man in that battle wouldn't you.
There's plenty of cover without worrying about Whelan - Arter, Hendrick, Brady, O'Kane, Hourihane.
I was asking who wood play holding midfield if whelan was injured.i can't see Brady, arter or hourihane been a disciplined mobile defensive midfielder. I actually think Hendrick would do a good job there facing the play but I still think o Kane might be most likely r the role but o Neill may feel he is not physically imposing
According to David Unsworth, McCarthy's injury is "nothing too severe" - it's a tweak - but he will be out for "a couple of weeks": https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2017...-on-sidelines/
I would imagine that still rules him out of the play-offs. Even if he was to be just about fit in time for the first leg, he hasn't (and won't have) played a game in months, so it'd be difficult really to see how he could play, never mind start.
He played during the week but yeah, still a big ask. Not sure what Newstalk were at with their 'update' above.
...or MON could pick up with Unsworth where he left off with Koeman
It's not the same without Koeman, is it?
Thank god for that lads were making it sound like he tore it off the bone.
Out for 2weeks according to sky sports which I'd say basically means no tear on the mri and his hammer feels a bit sore when he sprints if he is due back in 2 weeks he will be running and doing ball work this week and back to full sprinting by the next week to be able to play by that weekend. Some lads don't half over exaggerate
PHEW.
That was some exaggeration alright. Think he'll be important for the away match if he's fit. Otherwise, Whelan is in for Meyler.
Fingers and toes crossed as James McCarthy returns and starts for Everton today at Bournemouth.
Allardyce spoke about his return during the week - http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport...-must-14085777
Didn't go too great, McCarthy lost possession for Bournemouth's goal in the first half and was replaced by Rooney at half time. Bournemouth won 2-1 in the end.
McCarthy had a brilliant cameo this evening against Manchester United. Introduced for Wayne Rooney as part of a double substitution, to a chorus of boos from the crowd, he kept it simple at first, keeping possession well as Everton tried to get a foothold in the game, one down and basically chasing shadows up until that point.
McCarthy then had a crunching tackle on Paul Pogba which led to a very good Everton chance that completely transformed the mood in the stadium. From that point until Lingard eventually made the game safe for United, McCarthy was like a man possessed, tearing into tackles, mostly fair ones but not all it has to be said.
His impact drew special praise from his manager afterwards - http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport...ining-14101616
Starts at Anfield tonight. Live on BBC 1 @ 19:55.
Would not be surprised if he get a goal, let's hope it's for Everton.
