Injury update?

I would really hope that a proper analysis of injuries this season is ongoing and someone with the right skills is making recommendations on what needs doing. It's ridiculous the amount we've had and the length of time people are out for.

We shouldn't wait until the end of the season to do this. It needs documenting now and the various bits of data scrutinized.
 
Questions do need to be asked about out horrific number of injuries. They all can't be just bad luck? I can't imagine we are training any differently to last season though, but something not quite right.

I can't remember who it was under but we had a load of injuries and there was a suggestions that it was down to the training. Might have been Strachan or Pulis.

Also, I hate this secrecy from the club. They never really communicate about how bad an injury is, or how long a player will likely be out for. I don't see what they are gaining by not communicating with the fans about stuff like this, they always used to.

It is being analysed scientifically. They will be looking closely ar possible short term effects of the new training pitches for instance

No one mentioned Dael Fry - he suddenly wasn't available against Preston but that was 3 weeks ago.

I still think we have 10 players injured/sold after the deadline and seem to have had for several months now. Its a lot.

Fry out for several weeks still. Jones not far away.
Carrick doesnt like to be precise, I suppose because it isn't precise. He says 4 weeks and then it turns into 8 weeks.

Ah that makes sense, I wasn't aware that he'd already had his operation. It shows you how bare bones we've been rushing a player back like that and having to manage him through it. Hopefully a few weeks rest and Coburn will be leading the line again for the rest of the season.

I wonder if a further op will be required if it's taking so long to heal. I mean he must have had that p 3 months ago, that's a long time for a hernia to heal.
 
I’d rather they all convalesce properly, rather than players being rushed back too early and suffering a relapse, resulting in a perfectly fixable injury becoming a career ending one.

Bangura, Jones, Hackney, Howson, Coburn
All out for significant periods with seemingly no confirmed news of return dates

Add in long term absentees Smith and Lenihan

7 first teamers out no wonder we are still struggling

Be nice if the Club could keep us updated.
This 'news vacuum' isn't helping anyone.

We've had 15 plays with serious injuries this season.

Do we know that it actually was a hernia in the end. We know it was pelvic.

good point, we don't know the exact nature. Certainly hernia was what initially mentioned, pelvic could be a more complicated issue or just another way of saying hernia. 🤷‍♂️

whatever it is, I don't think we will see much of him for the remainder of the season, if at all.

We might need to rely on othr youth products like Finch or Nkrumah moving forwards?
 
Current long term or uncertain injuries appear to be
Smith, Lenihan, Bangura, Fry
Howson, Hackney
Jones,
Coburn

Partially fit (returning from injury or possibly carrying an injury or struggling to play consecutive matches)
Engel, Latte Lath, Clarke(?), Forss(?)

That's a lot. You have got what could easily have been 8 of our 1st choice outfield players off injured.

Sony Finch was also injured last I heard.

Howson reassessed - as was Hackney. Hackney was bad news. Howson was good, due back end of week.
 
Was bored at lunch so pulled together a list of the players we have had missing for games this season. Its staggering when you see the numbers written down with 217 appearances missed already this year.

This also doesnt take into account the game the player went off in as a missed appearance and also wont count players that are half fit and sit on the bench for a few weeks like Coburn and Forss have both done at points.

That’s effectively 7 players missing every game, not always the same ones either, and of course with so many games missing we will have 3 or 4 players not 100% match fit after injury and of course zero team selection cohesion.

It’s been a nightmare
