CaptnCanary 0 Posted April 22, 2016 I''ve seen a couple of people says he''s out for months with knee ligament damage but I don''t know where that has come from and have seen or heard anything official on it from the club. Have I missed something or is it radio silence?I think we need 5 points to survive and might do it with Klose in the team. Doubt we will get those points without him.

whoareyou? 0 Posted April 23, 2016 I couldn''t see the logic in initially saying he might be fit for the Sunderland game and then saying he was out for the season after he didn''t make that match....unless he really will be back for the Arsenal game and it was all mind games on AN''s part.

AJ 1,219 Posted April 23, 2016 A damaged ligament would take around 4-6 weeks for a tear, even if it was a very slight injury it won''t be much under that because he won''t want to risk his chance of playing at the Euro''s I''m sure. Bearing in mind Sunderland match was on the 16th, it makes it unlikely he will feature again as he won''t return until the end of May. That said someone in another thread said physioroom has him pencilled in as back for the end of April. Best case scenario he has swelling but no tear or major damage, you''d still expect him to miss 2-3 weeks.My personal conclusion is that it''s unlikely he''ll play again this season if the reports citing ligament damage are true.

Boris 56 Posted April 23, 2016 if one player is injured 3-4 weeks he always need 2-3 more games to return his confidence and form.Even if Klose is back for last game I not see him in top condition as before injury.We must stick with what we have and try to catch some points and pray Sunderland/Newcastle didn''t.Schedule and mood is not our way so will be very hard but is nothing new for all of us Norwich fans -:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

morty 0 Posted April 23, 2016 Just looked on Physio room, and they have Tettey, Klose and Wisdom all down as "no return date".An unexpected return of Klose or Tettey before the end of the season would be most welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ 1,219 Posted April 26, 2016 I''m not sure what to make of the photo, those anti-grav treadmills are very effective but that doesn''t mean he can fully put weight on his leg yet. But, he''s using his knee in any case so surely can''t be that bad. I doubt he''ll play this weekend but it gives hope he might make the last couple of games.

Row D Seat 7 0 Posted April 27, 2016 I also took it as the initial steps towards recovery. Although I have this perhaps false hope that he takes his place against Man United and leads us to unlikely victory. What a story it would be. We would f''n solid with Klose at the back.

It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted April 27, 2016 I''m pessimistic we''ll see him playing again this season so I''m pessimistic for our survival chances.
