Branston Pickle 3,632 Posted September 19, 2022 (edited) Whereβs that news? If itβs minor it might only keep him out of the internationals? People do seem to have failed to notice that weβve played 10 league games (would have been 11)Β + 2 cup games in Β 7 weeks. Thatβs a lot. Itβs not surprising weβve got injuries and players needing a bit of a breather. Edit: I dare say some will blame Smith for it, after all we never had defending injuries under Farke (thatβsΒ sarcasm) Edited September 19, 2022 by Branston Pickle 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bovril 219 Posted September 19, 2022 Nothing to panic about here. He will miraculously recover by the time we play our next game against Blackpool.Β He's played a lot of games recently and needs a rest (as evident by his overall poor performance like most against West Brom), 'strains' are usually used to cover this.Β Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nexus_Canary 1,016 Posted September 19, 2022 (edited) Seriously our medical staff must be incompetent at best. What you reckon we have 3 UEA trainee physios and a vet???

Capt. Pants 4,195 Posted September 19, 2022 I suppose if Hanley turns out for Scotland v Ireland this Saturday it will be slightly worrying as we know he has also been carrying an injury and will sort of rule out AO being a 'tactical injury'. Surely if you rule out one then you rule out both of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ 1,218 Posted September 19, 2022 Hopefully just a "I'm injured because I want a rest" scenario we often see with internationals rather than a genuine setback for him. Fingers crossed as him and Hanley are definitely our best 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,578 Posted September 19, 2022 Jesus, it's like some of you have never followed football before. A player who has started several games in a row, didn't have to come off injured on Saturday suddenly finds he has a minor muscle injury before an international break is a shockingly common occurrence and usually is paired with a miraculous recovery after the break is finished. I'll eat my hat if he's actually inured and doesn't start v Blackpool. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
