VillaChris Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 He nearly made Sunderland according to Sherwood so would imagine it's cleared up with the two week rest.I'd personally start him on Sunday. I think it's vital we get him and Grealish in the same team linking up as we should create plenty of chances that way to win some games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 http://www.avfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10265~4991960,00.htmlTim Sherwood says Idrissa Gana is a doubt for Sunday's clash with Leicester - with the boss also sweating on the fitness of Jack Grealish and Adama Traore.Gana picked up a hamstring injury on international duty with Senegal and will be assessed in the next 72 hours ahead of the Foxes clash.Sherwood revealed that Grealish is ahead of Adama in his fitness battle as the pair recover from hamstring and ankle issues.But the boss is hopeful that both could play a part at the weekend.He said: "Jack and Adama are making progress."Jack is closer than Adama. We're not sure if they are going to be fit at this minute. We are monitoring them day by day. We are treating the injuries."Adama got kicked on the calf and injured his ankle at the same time. The kick on the calf has improved, that's no problem, it's just that the ankle is still a bit of a problem."We will give them every opportunity to be ready for the next game."Idrissa picked up a hamstring injury on international duty. We're hoping he can get himself fit but it looks doubtful."Gabby Agbonlahor has also recovered from his bout of sickness.To me that reads as Gana out, Grealish in and Traore on the bench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nath182 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Yeah, looks like Traore and Grealish making the bench at best and Gana out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I honestly can't remember the last time we weren't in the top 4 of the injury table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Have we managed to field a full strength side at all this season yet?Bloody frustrating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 If that's true I'll downgrade my 3-1 prediction to 1-1 at best.We won't be winning many games this season until Grealish and Adama are in the starting 11 as those two have a touch of class going forward.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I honestly can't remember the last time we weren't in the top 4 of the injury table. True, every single season since I've been a Villa supporter it seems to have been the case. WHY?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted September 10, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted September 10, 2015 On top of that, it seems they're often our best players too.* * This may, or may not, be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) On top of that, it seems they're often our best players too.* * This may, or may not, be true.I think it's mostly true.In recent years - Delph, Vlaar, Benteke - probably at least at one point our best three players in a terrible squad, and the three players always likely to have the long term injuries.Sometimes under Lambert I was convinced our best eleven when all fit could compete with most mid to lower level teams, yet we'd go against a team that we could probably beat and at least three key players would fall over each others legs in the warm up session and our wafer thin squad would fall apart. God forbid when we tried to rotate players to play in the league or FA Cup, like watching the local women's pub team put on your teams colours.You look at Leicester who have pace and counter attacking threat, the perfect team for Traore and Grealish to star against with Gana our most important midfielder all likely to be missing unless Sherwood is using kidology, but he usually seems to be overly optimistic than pessimistic about player chances.

supernova26 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) But we had Ashley Young who literally never got injured for 3+ years. It happens and has got many a good team relegated in the past. I don't even think he'll make the bench sadly Edited September 10, 2015 by supernova26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Exactly. It just happens, there's not much point moaning about it (unless we think the physio staff are specifically underperforming in some way, but how the hell would we know). We've also been on the beneficial side of these things. Hull lost Robert Snodgrass all season last year - they'd have gathered a few more points with him in the team.

I still believe we'd have stayed out of trouble in 13/14 if Okore hadn't got that season-long injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
