Oh quelle surprise. Wouldn't surprise me if all his mysterious injuries suddenly clear up. And he's probably Sussed that there's a better class of kebab shop in SW6.
Anyone else sense a "Payet" coming on. ;fishslap

If he said he was fit would be a bigger surprise to me because he hasn’t since he’s been here

Being reported that AC is out for 4 months on London Live News

PrestonHammer

Hang about, I thought they had scanned his ankle and saw nothing and now he is out for 4 months? ;angry

MarkNobleLocalHero

Only 4 months, with a missing ankle!!!!!

Cuz1

Sky sports saying a month

baracks_a_hammer

The Mirror says a month, the sun says six weeks. Let’s run a sweepstake ;lol

The mirror also says he is “shell shocked” at the news. I mean seriously, if you were AC, why would you be shocked if you got injured? ;lol

Bazshuayi

So he claimed his ankle was injured (and scan revealed nothing) so we'd have to assume he's not been able to train (or he's ducked out of it) and now, all of a sudden, he's injured for at least a month.

I am so done with this guys injuries and really hoping against hope that Chelsea are mugs enough to actually buy him (same goes for Sakho to Palace)

#get rid

baracks_a_hammer

Thank goodness we have found a manager who has a found a way to play without relying on him overly

IronHerb

Well who has overly relied on him with his injury record? ;hmm

MrsGrey

All those numbers are just guesstimates, based on the standard protocols and average recovery times for ankle injuries.

To summarise the various reports: between 4-6 weeks unless he requires surgery; if surgery is required it could be up to 4 months.


Re the scan, there has been nothing official, and no media outlet has quoted a named or unnamed source, nor have they attributed their 'understanding' of the results of the scan to anyone 'close to the club' or anything like that.

The Telegraph is reporting that a scan was done today, and these are the results.

Well Moyes has been the only one to be prepared to consistently bench him even when he’s “fit”?

Or maybe the Chelsea medical revealed the injury ;whistle

baracks_a_hammer

Or maybe the Chelsea medical caused the injury ;whistle

Hazard or we will sue

IronHerb

Maybe I misheard the 4 weeks for 4 months. ;doh

Specifically, reported as a hairline fracture of the ankle.

jay_in_cpt

It's not good news all round...

ASLEFshrugged

I think its safe to say that Carroll will be with us for the rest of the season and possibly until the end of his contract..........

Cuz1

Who in there right mind would take on and match his salary with his injury record because I can’t name anybody

Vorselaarhammer

Unbelievable....

Chelsea had already made a parking spot for him as well....

Slaven_Cups_His_Beard

Unbelievable, we get some interested and reported possible £20m for a guy who I really like but is probably of the same strength as a popadum and he gets injured

I bet Sully is gutted, he was going to to up young jacks new pad with that money
;whistle

MIAHammer

Crouch, who turns 37 this month, is one of a list of names the club had in mind for this January transfer window, including West Ham’s Andy Carroll, who was ruled out of action on Thursday with an ankle injury that could yet necessitate surgery and a four-month lay-off.

As reported in the The Telegraph

Giant_Hammer

Does anyone know when Carroll could have sustained this ankle injury. I've looked and can't find when he could have done it. ;hmm

ASLEFshrugged

Making a sandwich?
