The Redmond Injury

The big one, Nathan Redmond, going down with an ankle injury in the second half and a lot of questions have been raised by supporters. First, we are all waiting on bated breath to see how long our star-man will be out of action.

Early signs are pointing towards missing the match Saturday against, Manchester United. Luckily, on the other side of this match is the international break. This will hopefully allow the Englishman to miss only the one match and return for Sheffield match on 14 September.

The Second question, was it necessary to have Redmond out there in this match? Many supporters are wondering why there was less squad rotation in this match. Maybe, with the injury to Redmond, Hasenhuttl will contemplate playing guys like Hojbjerg, Bednarek, and Redmond in every match.
