James apparently out for 6-8 weeks with hamstring injury. Always seems to happen when a player signs a new contract.

My guess is the LR haters will say he has been overplayed in midfield and Santos plus Lavia could have played 45 mins each against Villa.

Mind you he probably got his injury in training.

I doubt anyone will blame LR for the injury - strange comment. James being injured is hardly unexpected.

Tom,

I doubt anyone, or indeed anyone, should blame LR for RJ's injury. His record speaks for itself.

Let's hope not, but strangely, I have just received a WhatsApp message saying it's down to LR playing him in midfield too often.

James shouldn't be playing in midfield, but I doubt that has anything to do with his latest injury.
