Fabianski injury update

Lukasz Fabianski will have a scan on his hip tomorrow to understand the extent of the injury he suffered this afternoon at Bournemouth.

Manuel Pellegrini told reporters in his south coast post-match conference “Lukasz felt a problem in his hip muscle, problem in his hip. We’ll see tomorrow with the medical examination what it is”

A club insider has told Claret and Hugh by telephone that early indications suggest that Fanianksi will miss the visit of Crystal Palace at the London Stadium next Saturday 5th October but he would almost definitely return after the International break for the game against Everton on Saturday 19th October.

However, until a complete medical assessment has taken place it will difficult to give an accurate diagnosis of Super Fab’s condition and any potential time out in recovery.

The club have suggested that any estimate of injury length is pure guesswork at this stage and the medical team will know more tomorrow.
