“We’ve had it scanned. Before we get conclusive evidence of how long he’ll be out, he needs another re-scan in about 10 days. So it’s not going to be a short-term injury. We hope it’s not going to be a long-term injury, but we sort of don’t know yet.” From Howe. 
 

not short term, not long term. A ‘term’ injury. Feels like The Athletic and Keith Downie have listened to the same thing and said Howe has said differing things.

Ah fucking hell man. That could mean anything from a couple of weeks to a several.

 

Can't handle the frustration of another CL season when over half of the squad fall to bits.

 

 

 

 

If Ramsey is indeed back next fixture, we have three injuries.

Him and Tino fucked at the same time is so fucking annoying, like. Can't believe we're gonna be watching Burn at LB for presumably several weeks. 


mate, we could be even worse, you know…

Just cant get a run full strength can we?  So irritating.

We'll get them back, go on the run we know we can do but too late to achieve anything and be left dreaming "if only".

The context from the post match press conference implies that it will be 10 days before they know further so not short term as in a few weeks, but really won't know much more until that scan. The hope is it's not a 3 month plus injury. Shame for him, but hopefully he is back for November like Tino.

This is a real kicker. I know it was only Bradford but he showed signs of what we have been missing while he's been out the team and looked close to full strength and now his buggered again but to add insult to injury it will mean a sustained run of Burn as LB while Tino is out. 

 

The knock on effect aswell means no rest for the likes of Trippier and Burn. I really don't think they should be playing 3 games a week either. Plus England games for Burn. By association Botman will need to play every game now aswell as now can't rotate with Burn.

It might not be too bad, who knows. Howe basically said he needs another scan in 10 days so it's not going be a short-term [i.e. less than 10 days] but they don't know apart from that. Cold be he just misses a game or two. 

 

Watch him be out for 3 months now.
