Anfernee Dijksteel is suffering from pneumonia

Or some other lung hitting virus.

Real shame, get well soon Anfernee

That’s bad news, was looking forward to seeing him get more games this season. Hope he gets fit again quickly. Bright prospect

Hope he has more luck than I did with it. Had it twice in two years with several chest infections inbetween and after. Totally drained all my energy and fitness for about 2 years. Horrible condition.

We are cursed.

Get well soon, Anfernee.

Poor bloke, get well soon Anfernee

This is really bad news. I’ve had this and now have permanent scar tissue in my lungs. I reckon at least 6 weeks out then time to regain fitness. Very bad news, let’s hope it’s not too serious.

Bowyer talks about it here

Christ. Not good. Hope he makes a swift and full recovery.

We got any right backs / left backs in the academy?

No right backs in the u23s, so some of the CB/CMs will probably be used there.

At left back we have Mascoll just returning after 6 months out and Zemura who has only just moved up from the u18s.

Blumberg is a left footed CB and played LB v Dulwich last night. Looks like he's next in line after Page. No idea who Bowyer would play at RB if Solly's out.

Marshall probably based on pre season

Forgot about him, though if Dawkins doesn't sign he'll probably be needed in midfield.

So that's:

Dijksteel, Reeves, Clarke and Igor all out.

Solly, Page and Pearce all injury prone.

Pratley won't be fit for the first game.

Only 1 senior goalkeeper.

Marvellous.

Bad news, hoping he’ll become a regular this season.

Get well soon!

Praying for a full and swift recovery Anfernee

Terrible bad luck, get well soon.

Horrible illness, that, ultimately finishes a lot of us off some where down the line. Get well soon!

I had this when I was eighteen years old and thankfully made a full recovery with no scarring of my lung. It can take many weeks to make a full recovery though.
Get well soon Anfernee.

Fucking hell. Get well soon, Anfernee. Hopefully the fact he's a young professional sportsman means a timely recovery with no permanent effects.

SDAddick

Poor lad, must be so frustrating as I think he could be incredibly important in this team.

Good news is that they now have a diagnosis and it's eminently treatable, so hopefully he's on the mend now.

Covered End

Best wishes to Anfernee.
