Injury (and Recovery) News for 2018-19

Lukerz

Well it is quite incredible how they can all have pre-season medical/fitness checks and yet clear him to play 45 mins in the first friendly before discovering he has a pre-existing issue that needs further surgery.

IronHerb

So AC's a well known junkie, Reids a secret junkie and Lukerz is a doctor. ;lol

FF team Lukerz Aid Sportz?

Bazshuayi

new medical staff finally work out how to protect Carrolls ankle during games!

McHammer

a big if but if what I heard is true do we have a case for sacking him or at least suspending his wages?

heard the injury to andy was caused by him climbing a hotel balcony. Given his track record I think he should volunteer to not be paid.

What, climbing a balcony in Switzerland? Seems a tad unlikely.

ASLEFshrugged

Perhaps he was yodelling too hard...

IF it is proved to be correct I don't believe it is in his nature to agree to not being paid. ;ok

McHammer

again I must stress the sources are not strong yet. Nice oatcakes though

On twitter as well, both drunk and sent home allegedly

If he has broken rules then we have a case. His sell on value is forever dimishing and contract running down so I'd be tempted to get rid. Sad as it is

Lukerz

That came from a twitter user who was clearly saying it tongue in cheek whilst awaiting what the ‘shock news’ was. He wasn’t being serious. ;ok

McHammer

Thanks Lukerz, I don't do twitter so couldn't check.

I also think, I'll defer to Dr Lukerz though, ;wink that a ruptured ACL is more than 3 months.

MrsGrey

Look at you, bringing facts to a rumours game.

Where will that get you? ;wink

PrestonHammer

In Winston's case it will probably be 6 months.

Ps. Dimishing is an ironic diminished version of diminishing!

Cresswell back in full training (info from OS)

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Need to get him back to the form he showed in his first 2 years as he has probably regressed the most since the move to the OS

Think Pellgrini will use a back 4 and i dont think Masuaku is suited to LB so its important he can get back up to full speed fast

Vorselaarhammer

This is doing the rounds today....

Winston Reid apparently out for 6-9 months not 3...

baracks_a_hammer

It will probably be 7-10

MrsGrey

From today's Betway Cup match preview: Aaron Cresswell is also back in training after recovering from the minor injury that ruled him out of the club's opening four pre-season matches

Pelle on the OS:

“We will try, if we don’t take any risks, Felipe can play some minutes in the game we are going to play on Friday, but maybe it will be more difficult for Andriy to play."

Sounds like Yarmo is injured then.

Welcome to West Ham, son.

An article about the wages cost of injuries in the PL last season.

Also the Champion Also-Ran team, Burnley, and the Champion Sacrificial Goat that Refused to get Slaughtered team, Brighton. Lesson seems to be stay injury-free and have a good season.
