Chelsea played him into the ground. Kante, Chilwell and James got the same treatment too.

The only thing he's got in common with Bruno is that they're both men.
Arjen Robben. Always injured, but then figured things out and stayed fit in his later years.
He is going to score the winner in the EL final isn't he, I can just feel it.
Injured till Christmas then, but still a club legend for his winning goal.

Think this is fair to say about Mount and Kante. Chilwell and James had freak injuries and were managed pretty carefully all things considered.
Is he back yet? 
I'd genuinely love to see him get fit and do well for you lot.
Is he back yet?
Yes.
It's "moments" indeed. Honest Rube.
Plenty of posters telling us how unprofessional Mount is etc in the past, and blaming him for being injured. They should listen to the manager.
Moments FC
Who has said that? He comes across as extremely professional.
His managers never have a bad word to say about him
Was in his thread after he was involved in a club event with some rugby players.
MoMounts FC
He eats right.
Gives us another option for sure. Should suit one of the 10s and his pressing from the front will be useful
He’s a pressing monster
Its pretty clear Amorim rates him highly.
Would need to score more goals if Zirkzee and/or Höjlund are also on the pitch.
His best seasons at Chelsea were in the 3 at the back from memory, Lampard/Tuchel season + then the next full Tuchel season when he got 20+ combined goals and assists in the league.
I think all managers that have had him do. He's one of those players that might not appeal to fans as much but the managers love them. I remember Southgate playing him over Foden and everyone was really pissed off with him with that decision but it's a fact that he's seen as very important and a key system player.
Agreed on both counts above. Suspect his return will be like a new signing next year.
Are Chelsea taking him back then?
Clearly a dig at Luke Shaw.
What makes you think he won't continue to be contiguously injured? This is 3 yeas now for him of being consistently injured. If he manages to be fit for a few games it's a bonus, but it won't be like a new signing because it will be exactly like it has been for us the last 2 seasons for us and Chelsea the year before.
Luke Shaw and the Bankrupt Buffet. A novel by Jose Mourinho. Why are Manchester's all-you-can-eat buffets going out of business? Our Portuguese hero applies his little grey cells to solve the problem.
Because being injured is not a normal state a human is in. Its an anomaly from which most players eventually recover and continue playing. Mount has been admittedly unlucky with a string of different leg injuries (calf/hamstring/thigh), but none of that diminishes his actual on the pitch quality as a player. Once he's fit, he's basically going to be like a brand new signing.
I suspect he'll get injured after 6 games, contributing 1 assist, and then probably be out until April.
Lets hope not.
I'd be amazed and delighted if he plays well enough to get more than one assist before the injury.
It's been two years, not three. His injury problems started in March 2023.
Doesn't change your point too much as two years is still a bloody long time and it is looking increasingly likely that he won't fully recover, but two years still gives some hope whereas if it continues for a third I'd say that hope is virtually gone.
What I never understand is, a player gets injured, is under treatment and is eventually passed fit for training. They, presumably, start with light training and are carefully monitored. They then, at some stage, move up to full training with the first team squad. Finally, they are passed fit to play.
They've gone through many stages and tests before it's decided that they can now play. With Mount that's many months in which he's trained a lot, including intense training to test if he's really ready.
Then, he plays half an hour and gets another injury.
Alright, I get that match fit and fit to play are not necessarily the same things, but how can you pass someone fit to play, after months of rehabilitation only for them to break down again so quickly?

When he makes his great return it will be like the phoenix rising from the flames and ashes. He will never get injured again. He will become a United legend and his name will become part of folklore in decades to come.
Pedri's fitness turn around at Barca this season gives me some hope for Mount's future at United
So would we!
Mount earned that No. 7 by hard work, graft, dedication to the badge, and amazing performances game after game.
