Lost in the delirium of the late winner was how truly useless Ritchie was when he came on, guy offers absolutely nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) Was looking for news about his aborted international callup, hoping that it was just a ploy to get him to stay home instead of travelling. Thought it was to keep him ready for Man Utd at home. Ffs six weeks, is he even going to comback this season? What's our next game in 6 weeks?

Everton away on April 27th then Southampton home on April 30th are right about six weeks from now. Those seem like the earliest we could see him. Five games before that Everton fixture. If he misses both of those then there'll only be five games left when he gets back. Also he'll presumably need time to get sharp again after a lay off. Hopefully he'll be a good option off the bench in the run in and one of the others will have stepped up at RW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
magvicar Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Injuries will always happen and it's no different for any club. Miggy has been pretty resilient with injuries when you consider his pace and overall never say die work rate. I'd call this more of a much needed rest and replenishment rather than any negative, only because we have more than adequate cover for him. Considering how high intense we are as a unit and the high press in most games, I'd say we do pretty well on the injury front and that has to be down to how me manage it under Howe as opposed to how we did manage it under other regimes.

toontownman Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 On this evidence maybe 6 weeks was exagerrated. Our very own Rashford situation for the manure game. https://www.instagram.com/stories/miguel_almiron/3064877778360399816/?hl=en Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Could our Paraguayan Prince be back sooner than expected? He's certainly not far away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly thought the '6 weeks' line from Howe could be to throw people off. Just seemed weird to me the club or Almiron would tell the international manager a figure that was so off what Howe was claiming the be the timeframe.

frankpingel Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Saw on fb he met a fan at airport and he'd said he was fit to play. Might have been way off with initial injury diagnosis.

TRon Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Never really known Miggy to be out with injury for a prolonged length of time. In fact I can't recall him having an injury in all his time here tbh. If his leg snapped in half he'd probably be back on the pitch with it wrapped in parcel tape the next week.

He had quite a bad hamstring that ended his first season under Rafa. But yes, his fitness record is a definite strength. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

magvicar Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 I think Miggy went to see Oscar Goldman and it seems he's coming back, better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the Isak concussion? This would have been cut and dry once his concussion was diagnosed there would be no way he'd make the next match. Howe managed to never really confirm or deny anything and people were guessing right up till KO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 He’s kind of a genetic freak (big poppa pump) when you consider how many kms he puts in over a season yet seems to avoid any muscle injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
