Aina played the final of the last Afcon with an injury, came back injured obviously and didn’t play for us again until 30th March.

You can’t, it’s outside the transfer window

Are we able to sign any free agents, if there were any worth considering?

Yes but they'd still have to be registered so they'd take up a squad place.

Thanks for confirming. Saw that Awoniyi likely to be swapped for Aina now so that will fill up the squad place.

Its a blow seeing Aina out, id expect Neco to revert to right back and after Arsenal Zinchenko to take up the left back swap, unless Savona comes in and plays a blinder tomorrow.

Able to recall Moreira? He’s under 21 and wouldn’t take up a place.

Might as well write him off till feb, back from injury, straight to afcon

I googled it. For injury greater than 28days the club gets compensation; no compensation for the first 28 days, then salary covered for days affected after that. Money comes from a FIFA pot, and it’s capped per year. That pot will need topping up with their ridiculous calendar.

Sorry if this offends, but avoid signing African players if possible. The timing and frequency of that tournament and the inability of their associations to provide top level of player care is a liability.

Aurier and Kouyate both came back with injuries in the past too.
Panic on the streets of Croydon, Derby, Sheffield, Leicestershire.

With a bit of luck he'll not go to AFCON now so we might effectively be able to reduce how long he's out by a month.

Reguilón is a free agent but not certain if he would be needed to be registered before squad announced.
