Latest Injury (and Recovery!) Mews

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.

SuzanneClaret

Soft tissue injuries are always treated with ice.

No way, without X-ray/scan would they be able tell a soft tissue injury from a small bone fracture.

It sounds like they need me on the staff ;biggrin

Vorse

Well, I'm open to offers ;wink

MrsGrey

You only ice in 20 minute chunks, so he might have had that done in the dressing room, Then come out to watch some of the game, and had another icing session a bit later.....

ASLEFshrugged

another icing session

He sounds like a birthday cake

IronHerb

Ginge has a sprain, hopefully 2-3 weeks.

;thumbsup


Also: “Mark has returned to full training and is available for selection tomorrow,” he said. “Edimilson is progressing well following the ankle sprain he suffered on international duty with Switzerland, and should resume full training in the next few days.

I'm not sure I knew Edi's was a sprain. I think I thought it was a broken foot? Or have I made that up?

IronHerb

Initially rumoured as a 'broken' foot but quickly became reported as a sprain.

Slaven_Cups_His_Beard

Re: Collins Thank goodness for that

Lanzini? Out until the next international break?

MrsGrey

Herb ;ok

Thats Spurs and Swansea at home.

McHammer

Any news on Antonio?

IronHerb

Yeah, he went off injured.

ASLEFshrugged

Slaven says "It is a groin. He felt it a bit. He didn’t pull it big time, but we have to scan it first to see how big or how bad it is".

The last time I felt a groin a bit in public I was arrested.......

ASLEF

You should always ask the person first...

McHammer

Thanks Aslef. A most helpful answer

We are hopeful that Michail will only miss the Swansea game. dg
