Willmeister 35 Posted August 10, 2013 It looked like his knee to me. Could be a precaution and he could be fine. However if he''s done his cruciate, then we might not see him at all this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Juggy 0 Posted August 10, 2013 [quote user="Thecanaryfan"][quote user="The New Boy Le Juge"]Just got a stream to work and the first thing I see is what looks like Hooper being stretchered off, please tell me that wasn''t serious?[/quote]Link please?[/quote]I''m on thefirstrow.bizThere are eight links on there, can''t remember which one I clicked, two of them didn''t work for me.

lincoln canary (& Golden Coppel) 0 Posted August 10, 2013 We seem a bit too hurried in postion, always looking to counter rather than control. Maybe we''re still missing an upgrade on fox? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cantiaci Canary 556 Posted August 10, 2013 This is not what I wanted to hear when I logged on.Let''s hope we push the boat out and bring in another striker this week because if Hooper is seriously hurt we will be wincing every time Wolfswinkel is tackled!

Juggy 0 Posted August 10, 2013 A painful knee doesn''t have to mean a ligament tear. Hopefully he has just got bad sprain, still looking at four to six weeks out but no serious prospect of permanent damage.Another not so serious injury that it could be is a meniscus tear. Rather that than a ligament. That''s the injury which Leroy Fer had last year, he had minor surgery but the meniscus tear only kept him out for six weeks (surgery then recuperation).Let''s just hope that it is either of those two things, and if it is a ligament tear then let''s hope that it is a small tear and not a huge rupture. This is bloody nerveracking, going to be anxious for news from the club on this. Has looked to instantly bond with Hoolahan and looked more integrated that Van Wolfswinkel, thought we''d start with Hooper against Everton to be honest.

Juggy 0 Posted August 10, 2013 Very impressed with Whittaker, looks composed on the ball, hope he stays fit.E. Bennett looks like he has bulked up (muscle wise, rather than eating too many pork scratchings). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted August 10, 2013 assure performance, good win and we will take a lot away from the game.Panathinaikos looked a side as good as us, like for like almost in some areas so very pleased with today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cantiaci Canary 556 Posted August 10, 2013 What actually happened?Was he tackled or did he land poorly from a leap? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted August 10, 2013 [quote user="Cantiaci Canary"]What actually happened?Was he tackled or did he land poorly from a leap?[/quote]he was chasing a ball with a defender, they were close but there was no contact. Hoops got to the ball first then just fell to the floor holding below the knee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smooth 114 Posted August 10, 2013 Blame the groundsman ;)We need another third choice before this knock, and of high quality in any case. We needed at lest four strikers so I am sure we can now begin to move on this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Houston Canary 0 Posted August 10, 2013 So the final score was 2-0 or 3-0? A comment about a Bennett strike wasn''t clear so not sure if t went in, but that was the impression I got. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
priceyrice 123 Posted August 10, 2013 Initially his reaction didn''t look good but once he was stretchered off he seemed to be coping. Expect nothing serious Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cantiaci Canary 556 Posted August 10, 2013 Thanks Jas.What a disappointment, after all the speculation in January and this summer, if he is out for a long spell.Come on McNally bring in striker No. IV asap whatever the cost! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we decide we need another on top as cover for x amount of time there is always the loan market. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
