The Prophet Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Doesn't sound like he's close to starting, based on Howe's comments today. In a nutshell, he said they've held back on the intensity of his training load due to the nature of his injury. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I’d much rather they take their time and get him completely right rather than rushing him even if it means he doesn’t start over the next three-four games. It was a muscle injury right? Which has to be carefully managed, more so than most injuries Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a nutshell, he said they've held back on the intensity of his training load due to the nature of his injury. Odd how he started 2 weeks ago then. They are just protecting a very expensive asset. Muscle injuries are hard to return with, I think because he had it an issue when he was coming back the first time they are just being careful and rightly so. Wilson isn't training much either. No more rushing people now, they adjust the training load when coming back, which is what you should do. It's not just like the injury heals and you can go mental, its a muscle, it had damage, the damage has gone but the muscle (plus many others) hasn't been used as much as it might normally. For example, I haven't played 11 aside for a while but with my pace, if I played 2 games a week and trained very hard I'm sure my hamstrings would not be happy.

He didn’t say that though did he, he said he hasn’t had the intensity of training they’d ideally like because of our fixture congestion. the reason he’s not done that is because of fixture congestion impacting the clubs training schedule, nothing to do with his injury Edited January 23, 2023 by Ghandis Flip-Flop Duplication of point, bad England Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stal Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 It's so good how he's being gradually managed back. The fact that he hasn't been rushed in the hope he might get us some lucky result here or there at the risk of his long term fitness is great. Even if he has been missed, we are still getting results because of game plans and tactics as well as proper medical care. I can imagine other managers saying something like "right, you've had a month off. On you go." Makes me wonder how many professionals could have had their careers/potential curtailed over the years and what a selling point to potential new signings; we actually care about your health and career.

Tiresias Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I would think considering Eddie's playing career he probably is extra conscious of taking care of injuries properly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
