Emil Krafth (Injured with Broken Collarbone)

[huss9]

[PauloGeordio]

 

Eddie Howe on Emil Krafth, who is nearing a return to action: "Emil is working well after undergoing an operation on his collar bone .... He's back on the grass and running. The big thing for him will be contact when introduced back into group training."
 

Will be good to have him back in the squad. Big Joe and BDB putting his collar bone to the test in training!

Not sure if he’ll be ready but would be a good Schar fill in v Arsenal in the cup

He’s been such a reliable squad member, and improved under Eddie.

We have some irreplaceable first team members, but I would rank Schar high up there aswell.

 

As much as he has looked vulnerable defensively this year, he is still our go to player to play out with. His passing for a CB is outstanding, and doesn't get anywhere near as much credit as he deserves from external media. 

 

As great and reliable as Burn has been this year, his style of defender is a dime a dozen and fairly easy to find. We already have his upgrade in waiting when Botman returns.

 

But Schar is going to be really hard to replace as a goalscoring and progressive player.

Probably never going to get a more lush defender either!

Wild that I miss Emil so much!

EH said he is back training a while ago, what is his estimated return date?

Said he wouldn’t be ready for Spurs prior to Man Utd.

Darn, so maybe Arsenal then.

Only three days later, so that probably seems unlikely as well.

Forgot about Krafth when I was bemoaning the issues at the back.

[SteV]

Noticed Eddie didn’t rule him out in the presser…

Hope reckons Krafu will get some minutes v Bromley:

Quality news that, he's always solid when called upon.

[Abacus]

Good news.

 

After last year, it's weird to be getting news about players (mostly) coming back from injuries and being broadly on track.

 

Hope he does get some minutes against Bromley, be good to have another option. 

[Holloway]

Great news, has become an important squad player 

[Erikse]

Obviously no europe or freak injuries helps a lot, but we've done well this season in terms of managing the players to keep the injury count low.

[Turnbull2000]

I still can't get used to us having a squad to pick from. The last year left not just literal scars.

Early days to say for certain, but looks like Bunce (and therefore Mitchell) get a lot of credit for that.
