Juan #Cabal is training again with the group. And to #IgorTudor, that he needs like air all members of the squad, it can only be good news: the defender is making quick progress and is preparing to become a protagonist starting from the first friendlies.

Between him, Bremer and Kelly, i expect at least two of them to miss about half of the season through small and repetitive injuries or fatigue, so better hope we are lining up a starting quality CB to bring in before it’s too late.
Now let's hope this works as an anti-jinx.

Hopefully they take it slow with his recovery. Don't rush him back. That way, in January we can use him as the fabled "new signing" as Tutor finally realizes Kelly sucks. Then hopefully Tutor is gone so the next manager can realize Cabal sucks as well.

Sounds like they never watched Cabal play, he felt forced even as a defensive LB, how could one suggest him as wingback is beyond me…

He is built for CB, even more so for LCB type role in a back three.
Better to use him as LWB than Kalulu at RWB though, surely

Neither kalulu or cabal should be playing wingback lol. Cabal is actually a perfect fit for a LCB in a 3 man backline. I think Kelly has been solid, but Cabal can push him for minutes if fit.

Compared to Kelly, in what departments does he have an advantage? I hope he can do better in positioning and closing down on attackers, aka a better defender than Kelly lol. Also Tudor likes to play Kelly high up the pitch in pressing and build-up phase. Does Cabal fit that role?
