I watched him when he went off, kicked a bottle in frustration, then went to sit on the bench before the medical staff told him to go down the tunnel. Re-emerged about 5 mins later to sit back on the bench and watch the rest of the game.

If it was anything serious I’d have thought he’d have gone straight down the tunnel with no hesitation, so hopefully he’s available for Wolves. If not at least it’s only 1 game he’ll miss.

Thought it was cramp and he wanted to play on, hence his frustration
 

Michael Kayode

Didn't see any groin-pointing or hamstring-clutching, looked like cramp. He is so exciting to watch - I have NEVER seen a Bees player get taken to the fans' hearts as quickly as he has.

Probably since Herman?
 

Michael Kayode

Surprisingly not. Jota signed after the season started and didn’t play full matches for the first few weeks. Even then it wasn’t until the Fulham match before the full love in started.
fair point. i stand corrected
 

Michael Kayode

Is he ok for Sunday ?
 

Michael Kayode

Wasn't he just another lazy European who wouldn't bother tracking back?

Then after a few games the tracking back bit became completely irrelevant.
He wouldn’t get in our prem team , much as we all liked him

Agree but was the most technically gifted player to play for us at the time. (In this century at least).

But I think the fans have taken to Kayode slightly more quickly...

Ajer is playing in the PDL final tonight.

Surely we wouldn’t play Ajer if there was any risk Kayode wouldn’t be available at the weekend.
Then again, maybe Hickey is also on track for Sunday?

It’s unbelievable to me how quickly he has integrated into the team and felt irreplaceable. He’s become integral in no time at all… still only 20
interesting how some players take two or three seasons (Potter and Daamsgard - now priceless) and others a month or two like Toney and now this young man.

Certainly it is, but I think it is also good to recognize the difference of experience they have had. Damsgaard was a good player who had a moment in the spotlight at Euros, and then immediately had a ton of injuries. Keano had a good season in the championship.

Kayode was one of the best RBs in the Italian league at the age of 19, and wasn't playing this season because one of Fiorentina's best players is at the same role. He's also much more physically dominant, which I'm sure helped him.

If Michael misses out I'd be somewhat dissappointed if we revert to KA at RB as we have the option to try something different on Sunday.

He offers very little in that role moving forward and has no chemistry with Bryan, so would like to see KL-P deputising with Rico at LB.

I’d rather not experiment with playing KLP out of position right now. Ajer would be first choice now if Kayode out.

If both Kayode and Ajer are out then a half fit Hickey would be better at RB with KLP at LB than a half fit Rico at LB and KLP on a side he hasn’t played since he was at Hull.

Ait-Nouri's a conventional left-footed LWB who plays very high, so Keane's superior skill-set when defending 1 on 1 would tip the b/l for me.

Can see RA-N having a field day against KA.

I think Kris is better moving forward than he is defending at RB. He has pace and can spot a play. He does struggle against nippy technical wingers though.

I presume that it won't be announced officially until June 1st?
