I’ve not seen anything confirmed one way or another on what, if anything, is wrong with him 🤔 has he a hernia or not - if he has a hernia has he had an operation to solve the issue, hence his omission from the last two match day squads. All very puzzling - or have i missed something 😳
 
I have a suspicion the same happened last year at Bristol Rovers. Up to a Check trade Trophy game with Plymouth in February he was flying after the game his performances trailed of and he was being put on the bench.it was mentioned on Bristol Live he was carrying an injury but didn't specify what it was.
 
Yes i think most of us are aware of the rumour but nothing has been officially announced as far as I’m aware ? Strange he’s been missing the last two games but no word of why
Seen a picture of him on Twitter outside of training.. looked alright..

Saying that Matt Clarke looked ok through all the time he knacked his back..

Conspiracy tin foil hat says he has a move lined up and we’re bringing in another Striker in January.

Speaking of Twitter whispers.. 3 weeks ago we were in alleged to have been in discussions with Man City to bring Zack in to cover Seny Dieng.
 
What Carrick said pre-Swansea Press Conference concerning injuries - from the Media conference Transcript:

Riley McGree?

He's a little bit further [down the line]. He's gonna start training with us pretty soon Riley, but he's been out for a period of time now as well, so….it's the right balance with the injured boys in terms of we'd love them back as soon as possible, but in reality it's a long season. We've got to look after that for a period of time, and we need to get them back when they're ready to come back. As much as we are pushing, we're doing absolutely everything to get them back. We got to be sensible, and we've got to be balanced with our views on that. I'm hopeful. I'm hopeful to get one or two back over the next week or two. We'll just have to see how it goes.

Marcus Forss?

He's a little bit further [behind recovery] so he'll be a little bit further than Riley.

Josh Coburn?

He's been feeling….I've said he's been feeling [his injury] for a while, over a period of time, and it's another one where, I suppose, we got a duty….but actually he's a younger player, played a lot of football, and we've got to be careful you know. We've got to look after him. He's had a little problem with his groin and pelvis, so we got to manage that, and hopefully we get him back pretty soon.
 
I really fear for McGree's issue being a debilitating long-term issue.
I don't know, maybe he needs to develop more physically, take a little time out get fixed whatever needs fixing because he is prone to long periods of injury at the moment.
