Ginja 32 Posted February 9, 2018 Damaged his ankle ligaments last weekend, massive loss for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 8,266 Posted February 9, 2018 Bugger. Is Pinto back fit yet? If not and we still need Reed at right back then we''ve only got Tettey and Vrancic to play centrally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobLoz3 583 Posted February 9, 2018 Leitner can play that role too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 8,266 Posted February 9, 2018 True, forgot about Leitner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lincoln canary (& Golden Coppel) 0 Posted February 9, 2018 3.5 year contract, followed by long term injury. Sounds familiar...TT is a decent player and will be missed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ 1,306 Posted February 9, 2018 Out for 10 weeks which is end of April, so we might see him back just before the season ends.On the plus side, Matt Jarvis is back in full training next week... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,306 Posted February 9, 2018 Pinto will travel apparently, but unlikely to be in squad/definitely not ready for 90 minutes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,306 Posted February 9, 2018 Maddison fit and in squad but has only trained one day this week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 330 Posted February 9, 2018 Hugely disappointing but not sure it is a hammer blow as results without him have been pretty strong.We seem to have good options with Leitner and Vrancic (given Reed is likely continue to cover for a not yet fully fit again Pinto) to partner Tettey, who we must hope can continue to nurse his knees through to the end of the season. A full recovery, rested and ready for a resurgent side next season will be perfect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nuff Said 5,669 Posted February 9, 2018 He''ll be back for the play-offs :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orly 289 Posted February 9, 2018 Trybull is the glue that holds the team together.This is terrible news and decimates our (already) very slim chances of the playoffs.Leitner looked great in possession last match, but I doubt he''s anywhere near Trybull in terms of interceptions / tackles.

Tetteys Jig 845 Posted February 9, 2018 Tettey is definitely the glue. As long as we have either him or Trybull (preferably both) in the middle I’m happy enough. Without both we are pretty screwed!I hope leitner gets a go next to tettey, I don’t doubt his skill but need to see he has the all round game to cope with playing cm in the championship. It has taken vrancic a while to adjust. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 10,261 Posted February 9, 2018 Disappointing but probably the one area of the pitch we could afford an injury. Must be frustrating for him, he''s been a bit in and out all season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,413 Posted February 10, 2018 Bad news for the player, shame as he’s one who started to find his form as others have, will be missed.We are a tad unlucky in that area, Thompson and now Trybull, both would be pushing first team if fit.Hopefully Tettey will stay fit, Reed hasn’t been as good as I thought he was going to be, does a job.Speedy recovery Tom.

Gordon Bennett 842 Posted February 10, 2018 It''s a big blow to him and the club but it''s why we have a squad, and gives the opportunity to somebody else. There are plenty of options to sit in alongside Tettey, the problem comes if he picks up an injury in the next ten weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoola Han Solo 448 Posted February 10, 2018 He’s had several injuries this season so the decision to offer him a 3.5 year contract seems like a bit of a risk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
