Don't laugh but does anyone know if and when Carroll might return for his one match

McHammer

Testimonials can be anytime ...

Hammerex

I would think with a bit of luck he should be back by 2019. ;whistle

IronHerb

Twitter rumour has it that Fernandes has broken his foot.

Yeoldhammer

So it begins.

Slaven_Cups_His_Beard

And that Lanzini is out of the Huddersfield game and it could be 2-3 weeks

Hold on to your hats!

IronHerb

Where's that from slizzy?

According to physioroom.com we are not even in the top ten for injuries.

Well that can't be right?

It's always the table where we constantly got to the next level and top 6

Got it off Twitter Herb, could be complete rubbish, who knows

;hmm

IronHerb

;ok

I had a trawl around and found one reference to it on @whufcbulletin

mike

Looked at @whufcbulletin on twitter, couldn't find it. ;hmm

(Herb, do you have to have 'tweets and replies' clicked? 'Cos you can't do that unless you are logged in ... so maybe we can't see it?)

IronHerb

I am permanently logged in so that may explain it.
As to your question I have no idea, hence permanently logged in. ;hmm

Bilic confirmed Manuel Lanzini is out for the Huddersfield game, and will be for two or three weeks. Edimilson Fernandes is out. Winston Reid is back. And Andy Carroll is 'OK'.

From today's press conference.

Yeoldhammer

AC is "ok", by all accounts dubious. ;hmm

MrsGrey

yeold, fuller quote:
“Carroll is OK,” Bilic told reporters at his pre-match press conference. “He’s been training for almost four weeks with us and he looks good. He will be in the squad definitely. We are playing Monday, but he’s back in the squad and will be for the game.

so not dubious - it's just that the bbc where I took the original quote from only used that first bit ;ok

SuzanneClaret

My ankle is still a bit sore...

Lukerz

Ex saying Collins potentially out for up to 3 months.

SuzanneClaret

Should never gave come out for the second half.

Slaven_Cups_His_Beard

I'm guessing that a discussion happened at half time and an asssessment was made which included how the player felt.

If Collins said he was fine that was probably a factor, however with our luck and CB Injury record plus we just got it sorted I'd of aired on the side of caution and taken him off either putting Ogbonna on or Kouyate dropping back, they weren't bothering us too much.

Now for all we know that could've happened and he still does it again in Training or the next game, who knows

jay_in_cpt

Yeh have to think that of all the players who would have been " tough/ brave" enough to carry on, Collins would be my 1st pick, let's hope it's minor and not as bad as mentioned above..
We have Rice & Ogbonna who can fill in...

Slaven_Cups_His_Beard

When someone like Collins goes down like that, I'm guessing this is months rather than weeks, really hope not

MrsGrey

Just done a bit of googling on ankle injuries + recovery time. Ranges from 2 or 3 weeks for mild sprain through to months for severely damaged ligaments, which may or may not require surgery. Obviously, surgery lengthens the recovery time. They usually wait a few days before doing the scan and getting a diagnosis.

IronHerb

After Ginge went off he later returned to the bench with the aid of a stick not wearing any socks or boots and no sign of any ice pack etc.

OldCastleSwift

No ice-pack? ;hmm Seems odd if it's a ligament injury; there's usually a lot of swelling when they go.

I was out for three months when I did my ankle ligaments a few years ago. Hopefully with some professional care Ginge won't be out for that long.

Vorselaarhammer

Of course we get figure out the defence and then lose a defender....

Can we give Murphy a pay off so he bothers another team...

sweepy23

Id have thought he broke a small bone.
