Injury Updates - Feb 2023 onwards
I'm sure we usually have an "Injuries" thread, but I've not seen one for a while (although obviously we've had plenty of injuries as usual) so I thought I'd open one. Quotes below are from today's presser for the Newcastle game:
“Danny Ings is doing quite well,” Moyes revealed. “He’s got a chance of being available on Saturday."
“Gianluca is not available, Kurt Zouma is not available, Maxi Cornet is not available for Saturday,” Moyes confirmed.
“They’re all getting better and I couldn’t give you precise dates on any of them, but hopefully they are going in the right direction."
“Maxi has gone back to France again – he’s not quite ready yet to step up to training levels. We need to bring him on and hopefully get him back as quick as we can.
“He needs to get a bit more pitch work done. He’s doing work in the gym, he’s exercising – look, he’s not feeling his calf muscle any more and is feeling much better, but if you’re asking is he back at 100 per cent yet? No, he’s probably 60 or 70 per cent and we’re hoping that it won’t be too long.”

So, good news on Ings, but Cornet still a long way away by the sounds of it, and nothing to go on for Scamacca and Zouma.

Given he was our primary cover on both wings, we could really do with him back.
Slacker, who is this? Clue is in your last post.
I hope I'm wrong and he's back in the next few weeks, but all I'm saying is that I'd be surprised if he was. If I was a betting man I'd put money on him having surgery before the season's out.
TGV?🤷🏻♂️
That one passed me by.
All week.
Maybe we should have... you know what, never mind.
I'm sure we must be close to the top of that table.
Cornet - mysterious calf injury, been out for ages
Zouma - hamstring injury following previous knee issues
Scamacca - knee issue that he's having injections for
Aerola - missed a couple of matches, was back for one but now missing again
Cresswell - missing from today's squad, ???
Paqueta - heavy fall on his shoulder today, looked suspiciously like a collarbone issue
Aguerd - had to go off today, hamstring? Already missed a good chunk of the season
Kehrer - had to survive a late fitness test today after going off against Newcastle last week
Could be only Downes and Emerson of all our summer signings are available next week.
Real shame about today's two injuries; Aguerd has looked class when he's been available, and Paqueta has started to settle into the PL and has shown recent signs of improvement playing alongside Rice when we're playing 3 at the back.
We were told: “They are both likely to be out for weeks rather than months.”
“One more scare, the same shoulder as before just other ligaments, but at least (it wasn’t) the worst (case scenario) of the problems!
“Been feeling a lot less pain and I’m recovering well, hopefully be back soon.”
