sonyc 6,144 Posted August 16, 2019 Terrible news. Plus Hernandez out long term....might be back in 2020? Time for Roberts, Vrancic, Srbeny...plus new fella Amadou Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unique 466 Posted August 16, 2019 Pukki needs to be wrapped in cotton wool from match day to match day. If only Hernandez was as enamoured with bungalows as he is with Argos! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 4,615 Posted August 16, 2019 McLean is doubtful too. The real blow is obviously Hernandez. Farke said at least three months but it could be an ACL, so reading between the lines, that could be his season over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 4,615 Posted August 16, 2019 What's wrong with Idah, by the way? I've completely missed the news about him and didn't know he was injured. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Drmic is slightly more longer term, I wouldn't mind seeing Idah get some game time. He seems like a very bright prospect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He may be able to make the bench, but I don't think Farke would chuck him in for risk of furthering the injury. It is quite a worry not having that many senior strikers available. But Drmic apparently out for 2 weeks only. However, he's done his hamstring again and that seems to have been a recurring theme for him. So, it's a worry as it'll probably keep going!

andyc24_uk 79 Posted August 16, 2019 We know Farke and his staff are keen on fitness and that's been one of the keys to our success; but we do appear to get more injuries than most other clubs - The reports seem to suggest both McLean and Idah suffered similar back injuries in training, and honestly, it's not all that uncommon for someone to trip on the stairs - just doesn't usually lead to a torn meniscus or ACL injury; one has to wonder whether there's something about the current training regime that's making players more susceptible to injury somehow? I wonder whether there could be something to gain from having someone with a medical background from outside the club come in as a consultant and take a look at the training situation with fresh eyes and see if there are some tweaks that can be made here and there to reduce injury risk?

How many times did we name the starting 11 last year? E had an empty physio room lots of last year and form was keeping those players out. The issues we have had are with the same players picking up new injuries, I think it says more about those players tbh. One of the hallmarks of Webber and Farke has been careful attention to easing players back for the long term benefit. This is a freak week I would say. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
