- Obviously, when you have an operation you never know how things are going to look on the other side, but it's going better than we thought so that's positive. -I'm doing gym work at the moment, rehabbing the quad and the leg and getting the bulk back - everything after the operation has gone really, really well, touch wood, and there has been no swelling.
If the club at any point updates the prognosis, physioroom will change it on their site.
Rice would be able to play the Fernandinho role, he'll most likely be doing so for real i the next 18 months when City come calling with 50M ;weep and ;run
You know everyone's watching him with envious eyes... City are prime candidates. So that's both Greys that have given me a whack in recent days because of Decerz ;lol
I think when all are fit it’ll be Lanzini vs Nasri for the AM spot in a 4-2-3-1, rather than both. Nasri gives us a great option, but if Manu comes back anything like the player he was before then he is the future, imo.

When I look at the site, it says 'expected back 29 January' (which was probably the original timescale set by the club) and gives a quote from this interview in October
https://www.radionz.co.nz/news/sport/368912/winston-reid-remains-positive-as-he-looks-to-return-to-football which suggest all is on track (which is why they haven't got 'unknown return date' I suppose)

If Rice is played there, we have no DM to speak of, which is a vital part of Pellegrini's formation.
So I reckon we'll see a CB or DM bought in, on loan at the very least.
But yeah, IMO, I don't think he'll play this season.
I think that is out of order ..... ;wahoo

MrsGrey from that link.
Manuel Pellegrini revealed Samir Nasri could make his Premier League debut for the West Ham United on Saturday.
Who says "the" West Ham United (other than the writer of course).
;hmm
I'm taking this to mean he's close to a return to training.
Lanzini is going to be a star in a Pelle team.
Fabianski
Zabaleta - Diop - Balbuena - Cresswell
Rice - Lanzini
Yarmolenko - Nasri - Anderson
Hernandez
Adrian, Ogbonna, Fredericks, Noble, Wilshere, Antonio, Carroll
With Reid, Masuaku, Obiang, Sanchez, Snodgrass, Diangana, Perez not even in the 18! Plus I have left Arnie out for now.
Not saying that 11 will be our best side as it is very attacking, but some good options there.
