macphisto Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 12 hours ago, Keggy_Keagal said: He's been carrying and playing with a knee injury for months. It's why he didn't play in the three games prior to West Ham in the cup final run up. Dealing and managing injuries is something we've got to get better at as a club. Now in this instance it's been proven to be the correct strategy as we won the trophy but several players have either been very unlucky or mismanaged when it comes to injury. This season, our management of injuries has been excellent. To be any better, we'd have had no injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 18 hours ago, Displayname said: Has been getting quite a few injuries the last two seasons.. He’s built like a shithouse, gets around the pitch, gets involved. They will start to rack up now, why we need a good CM so he can be rotated more (and because his style isn’t needed for all games as we have Tonali that can bring the combative side in games).

The Prophet Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Howe said he trained on Friday, but didn't feel quite right. Sounds like he could play if we absolutely needed him to, but they're worried there's something underlying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Good game for him to rest if he needs it, we were never going to really need him against Ipswich. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, but we don't really know what the result of his assessment is yet. It could be he is ruled out for the rest of the season if it's felt it needs to be fixed immediately. Hopefully not obviously, but the last I heard he was seeing a specialist and we take it from there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was kind of expecting a loss at Villa and would have absolutely taken a point before kick off, but I'm more confident for Brighton. Tough game sure, but they needed a couple of worldies to beat a poor West Ham team yesterday. If Eddie and the team get the tactics right I'm hoping for at least a point.

SteV Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Does “going to see a specialist” ever result in anything other than a reasonable period out? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Usually, but could be different since we’re close to the end and he maybe only needs to play 2 more games. Anyway, we will see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

et tu brute Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Hopefully it's a case of checking if they can continue to manage the injury. Seems like this has been the case so far, but, sensible to get a specialist opinion to be 100% Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 I'm sure someone had a scan recently and it came back as "good news, not serious" but I suppose not serious could still mean a couple of weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
