On the bright side, if Barnes indeed needs the surgery, then we'll effectively start 24-25 season with two summer transfer windows of reinforcements [emoji38]

 

Double the signings to lose to injury and suspension all over again. :fwap:

I do seem to be getting more irrationality angry at the injured players, after each defeat [emoji38]

 

 

Especially considering Barnes played in 66/76 PL games in the last two seasons for Leicester. No history of being a sick note but inevitably gets some weird toe injury that keeps him out five month when we pay big money for him, you couldn't write it.

Great so he's finished 


Nah, that article calls out some particularly bad outcomes. But looking at this list:

 

“Already in 2021, bad toes have hampered Lions Pro Bowl center Frank Ragnow, Raiders running back Josh Jacobs and Bucs wideout Scotty Miller. In the past few years, turf toe has derailed star players such as A.J. Green, Julio Jones and Davante Adams, as well as running backs James Conner, Phillip Lindsayand Antonio Gibson.“

 

- Ragnow has played all but two games the last two seasons. 2nd team All Pro this season.

- Jacobs had the best year of his career in 2022 and had over 400 touches (that’s a lot)

- Miller isn’t very good but he’s played almost every game the last two years 

- Davante Adams is still elite at age 31

- Julio Jones made four All Pro teams after it happened to him before getting old

- James Conner has aged nicely for his position and been reasonably durable

It’s a bad injury for sure, but it’s unlikely to be a death sentence.

Hearing his foot flew off and went so high it left the atmosphere. Should come back down to Earth around August somewhere in Kazakhstan. Very bad luck imo

 

 

 

Do we have some men standing ready with a big net or will we have to look for the toe? 

Just cos marcelinos finger was finally found in Tibet last week and he's expected to return in a few weeks

How can the Anderson scan be good news and still out 6 weeks? He was supposed to be back in December.

Don't think he was ever meant to be back by December like, Howe said it was a 3/4 month lay-off at the end of October/ start of November.

Speaking ahead of the trip to Wolves, Howe said: "The day after the Palace game he just woke up with a sore back. It didn’t really go away, so we’ve had scans and tests, and it looks like it’s going to be eight weeks.

I'm not going to go back and look as quite frankly I can't be bothered, but I very much remember Howe coming out and saying it'll be around 12 weeks at some point around the start of November. Either way, the fact he's recovering well is a good thing, even if the time scale is still a little ways out. :lol:

Id imagine it means the fairly serious stress fracture of his back is healing. I mean there are people out there who lose the ability to walk etc after an injury like this, never mind get back to playing professional football

I just got the direct quote from you from Oct 27th.

I suspect with that type of injury there’s very little you can do to keep ‘fit’ whilst it heals.

 

So it could take him a few weeks to get back up to speed once he’s injury free.
