MORDENCANARY 71 Posted June 22, 2021 This highlights the centre back problems last time out. Here's hoping Hanley and Gibson stay fit,to me if that pairing stays throughout we'll survive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary Wundaboy 1,423 Posted June 22, 2021 And still people are complaining that we’re being linked to decent, expensive CB options like they learned nothing from the last season we spent in the EPL… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,830 Posted June 22, 2021 Let's hope it's a short term injury and that he's fit for the start of the season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGunnShow 7,377 Posted June 22, 2021 @KiwiScot said he walked off the pitch, apparently. That's a pretty good sign if it's a knee injury, which was what was mooted on the BBC. Hopefully it's just a knee tweak - and let's hope it's not a hip problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But van Dijk walked off against Everton. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would be bloody unlucky if Hanley's got that - I don't know how he's got the injury though as I'm following the BBC live feed, but there's no mention of a bad foul anywhere. My concern (with personal experience involved) would be if it's the iliotibial band. If that gets really tight that's several months out.

king canary 8,754 Posted June 22, 2021 We'll see but it's another reason to reinforce the back line. Hanley doesn't have a great recent track record when it comes to fitness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beetehleets 9 Posted June 22, 2021 He didnt go off with a limp, walked normal. Likely a low grade knee sprain - hopefully this is worse case scenario. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tetteys Jig 851 Posted June 22, 2021 looked like a hammy strain... talking a 2 or 3 week recovery if it's low grade. If Scotland go to the quarters they might try get him back but probs tournament over for him whatever happens tonight. At worst, could be a worse grade tear and could be a couple of months. Doubt it tho, the way he walked off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
