Walker merely started ten of the twelve games before he started kicking off about rotation. Yes, that was definitely the source of his concerns...
According to news from Korea, Son picked up an injury against Chelsea and he's been struggling with it since. It explains his dip in form, but why the hell have we been picking him in the meantime? Let him rest and stick Moura or Lamela in, FFS.
It seems that Harry Winks needs an operation on his ankle. It's clearly not been right since that 'tackle' against Palace. The suggestion is that he'll be back for pre-season and the club wouldn't have offered him a 5 year deal if they thought that was in real doubt. Good luck, son.

Verts is back in training, as a pic was tweeted out last week, so he might be back by the Season Killer Cup semis
Janssen is due to play in an U23 match on Monday, apparently. It would be a good time for him to show that he's fit again.
Good news if true. The bottom line is we want him to become a decent striker contributing goals to the cause.
