Keegans Export Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Scored an absolutely lush penalty in the shoot-out against Palace too (I know that doesn't count but it was a belter) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Looking at Eddie's playing career, he suffered a knee injury in his debut for Portsmouth in March 2002, and then was out until the opening game of the following season. After 9 minutes of the opening game, he re-injured the knee and was out for 18 months. Eventually, injuries ended his career. So if he's being ultra-cautious with Isak, it's perhaps both understandable and wise. Aggravating an injury that hasn't properly recovered can be the worst thing for a player (eg Jack Wilshere) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aggravating an injury that hasn't properly recovered can be the worst thing for a player (eg Jack Wilshere) Its plain common sense from a properly run football club vs the car crash we’ve seen from knackers here in the past. I work as a physio and while I don’t work in football or even elite sports I can imagine how difficult and challenging it is to get someone back to that level after several months out. I think we’ll see him fairly soon all being well. Edited December 25, 2022 by ExiledGeordie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isaak has missed 95 days; Callum Wilson has missed 165 days; and Saint-Maximin has missed 76 days. You know previously Isaak missed 5 games in the previous 3 seasons through injury, it’s just bang unlucky he picked up that injury just after signing for use Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson is only ever a week or two away from a long lay off but, with Isak getting closer to being back on the pitch, that gap is closing every day of both Wilson and Isak being out injured together AND you've got to look at Wood and say, for all of his shortcomings, he was an integral part of the team that pissed survival from a position of near nailed-on certainties to drop.

What’s been great and albeit unintentional is that Isak has been able to recover and get fit again away from the pressure and limelight due to the good form, let’s hope it continues and he’s back on the field asap.

Hopefully we’ll here something positive today that he’s been able to train with the group and you’d imagine they’d want a couple of weeks of that before he returns.

Mazzy Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Would be great to see Isak back fully fit for the Fulham game, don't see much sense risking him for the cup games if Wood and Wilson are both fully fit. Let him have a couple of weeks extra training and rest, we want him 100% ready for the games Febuary onwards, they will be huge, especially if we are still in both cups.

I agree Fulham game looks more realistic or even Palace. He may get a cameo sub appearance in one of the cup games but only if they think he’s ready.

STM Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Fine man. Just get him on the bench and give him 10 mins then 20 etc. Leicester game in the cup is perfect for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His return just kept getting pushed back. Considering Wilson’s muscles seem to be made out of mashed potato, with old bits of spaghetti for tendons and ligaments. We could do with Isak being available soon. Wood may have done an ok job. But he really isn’t up to the standard required if we want to push for a top 4 finish.

Isak would probably press better than ASM but is also quick, very direct and scores goals. We haven’t really seen a proper genuine threat on the left to compliment Miggy yet other than ASM’s odd performance pre injury.
