I hope Bacuna plays next time we play the cloggers. That was absolute class.

Possibly one of the reasons why West Ham got rid.....bit of a sick note.

Between him and the warrior they normally miss half a season between them due to injury.

The back four of PVA, Sakho, Tomkins and AWB is as good as any in the league in my opinion, with a current market value of at least 100 million.

Having done a lot of distance running in the past, I know from experience that calf strains can take while to repair.

Admittedly I didn't have a professional medical team tending to my recuperation, but I think that it may be more than just a week or twos rest and treatment that is required to get Tomkins back on the field.

I thought the idea of warming up was to do gentle exercises to make sure everything is stretched and ready for action. How do you injure yourself warming up ?... surely that implies you haven't warmed up properly ?

He'd already said that he had felt his calf in training but thought it would be ok. He felt it again in pre-match warm up so made the right decision to pull out at late notice. I don't think there is anyone to blame here.
