Major blow for Astana as top scorer injured

164

Astana captain, striker Tanat Nuserbayev (28), looks set to miss the Champions League qualifiers against Celtic after the injury he picked up in the win over Zalgiris in the last round proved worse than initially expected.

The player travelled to Germany yesterday for a formal diagnosis of what looks to be damage to the meniscus cartilage in his knee.

Nuserbayev is Astana’s top goal scorer. Despite being 21 games into their league programme, the squad only has two others who have scored more than three goals (one scored four, one scored five), so this will be a major loss for the Kazaks, who are pretty distraught at the news.

    Settling for Magners,£2.09. It’ll have to do.

     

     

    How’s tricks?

  4. Going by their videos (I know, I know!) the danger-man we need to watch out for is Patrick Twumasi. He might not be scoring but he seems to be the spearhead in everything they do so if we take him out the equation they may be quite limp.

  7. Dexter says HAVE WE ALL FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE LIVING WAGE AT CELTIC PARK??? on

    So Kolo is a go-go unless the Docs say no-no.

     

     

    We are also linked with a Tunisian full back/centre half at Fenerbahce but no sign yet of Sinclair or a striker.

     

     

    Looks like it’ll be a B team v Leicester today and v Barca next week. Easy peasy ….

    Salisbury 7.20 – MENAI 5/2

  10. Welcome Kolo Toure. Congratulations to BR and PL for such an amazing capture.

     

     

    Would still love to see Shane Duffy – defence is quite small?

    I don’t like the moaning bitch in charge of the Guinness pub at the weekend. And she started it,honest!

  12. Not tips but two big priced horses today that I will have ( have had actually ) an each way punt on are:

     

     

    Kachess 20/1 2-45pm

     

    Balty Boys 25/1 3-55pm

     

     

    Just think they both have their ground , distance and the price is a bit tempting.

     

     

    My other 2 bets today are Taurean Star and Ninjago.

     

     

    Wouldn’t mind 2 or 3 of those pulling:-).

  15. Kolo Toure a great addition to pass on his knowledge and experience to our young and not so young defensive bhoys.

    I don’t remember anyone asking people to stop criticising Celtic and the board after shootings in club in Florida. Is that because they was gay and were less important?

    Ridiculous statement. I posted regarding the shootings, my point being that Celtic is a distraction from the horrors of the world. Using it as a cheap point scoring exercise is of poor taste. I could mention hundreds of atrocities carried out by numerous groups against numerous groups. I mentioned the latest incident purely because it seems at present that every other day something like this is happening. I didn’t mention the shooting of cops in America, I’m not anti law and order. I didn’t mention the shooting of black people in America, I’m not racist. I didn’t mention the butcher of Palestinians, I could go on.

  18. Saint Stivs says SACK THE BOARD on

    Blinkin flip flip.

     

     

    Was all set up to leave for the game now and I see it a 17:30 kick off.

     

     

    Blinking flip flip I have dads taxi duties then.

     

     

    Stupid scheduling.

  19. The email said, “Congratulations on completing your 166th parkrun and your 75th at Pollok parkrun, Glasgow today. You finished in 48th place and were the 45th male out of a field of 416 parkrunners and you came 6th in your age category *ahem* VM50-54. Take a look at this week’s full set of results on our website. Your PB at Pollok parkrun, Glasgow remains 00:20:16. Your best time this year remains 00:21:39.”
