sne Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 6 minutes ago, Sulberto21 said: Memphis Depay has come back from an ACL injury lately and he looked quick at times last night so that gives me confidence that Wesley can come back strong. The fact that they got injured roughly about the same time and one of them has been playing football for a couple weeks while the other one is by all accounts not back to training yet. Wesley is a lot bigger and heavier, and he already had issues with his legs being different lengths would make his recovery more difficult I imagine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things are never as straight forward as that, one ACL isnt the same as another I would imagine. But on the plus side, medical science is always improving and I'm sure football clubs have the best facilities for recovery. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because Depay is back doesn't mean Wesley will be back anytime soon. And I don't think he will be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Also, Memphis may well have been out for longer if he didn't have the prospect of Champions League knockout games. Wesley taking his time to recover is no bad thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all accounts it seems you are more likely to make a full recovery but again a bigger and heavier player with existing leg issues will take longer to recover and would have to be more cautious when starting the recovery process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 He's still in Brazil isn't he? Won't be seeing him play for us for many more months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Physio Room he will be back fit end of the month; match-fitness though is another question altogether. A number of websites have both stated Wesley and Heaton are back end of August for awhile now, however we haven't heard much from the club themselves. Have we?

VillaChris Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Heaton's back in full training now so looking good he'll be involved in four weeks time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Hopefully we get some decent draws in the Caravan cup to ease Wesley back in (that was autocorrected... Carabao* ) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) I think both Wesley and Heaton were due to return around the same time. To see Heaton diving around on the training pictures today is great, hopefully Wesley is diving around too* *joke, love him really!

People always say this like it’s normal for the club to update everyone on long-term injuries. I don’t think that’s the case outside of pre match press conferences... I don’t remember the club ever doing it. Pretty sure we will see them both on the field in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club made a point of showing Heaton back in training (thank the lord!) but there was no sign of Wesley Did he go back to Brazil like Douglas Luiz during the off season? Clutching at straws but he might be in quarantine as that's what DL is doing. I think he was in Brazil, so hopefully just quarantine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) Don't shoot the messenger - and I am by no means ITK - and take this with a massive pinch of salt. But theres a rumour going around that Wesley's Injury is career threatening. Which might explain why we are after 2 strikers.

Watkins\Wilson I sincerely hope not - for him as much as for the football club. He's had a remarkable life to get to where he is and it'd be absolutely tragic to see that snatched away from him now. I still can't believe it wasn't a **** foul. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intention to injure was there. It's a calculated challenge that had a high percentage to injure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
