MrBlack Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 (edited) Wasn't he seen in the background of some of the pictures from Barkley's first training session ? Would back up the comments that he's back in training. Edit: missed the direct quote from Dean above. This is good news then. Suggests no falling out, and simply a longer road to recovery than expected. We do get unlucky with our long term injuries don't we Edited October 3, 2020 by MrBlack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 He was on the bench for the previous 3 games. Is Hause injured? He hasn't been in the squad for ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyjavfc Posted November 10, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 10, 2020 Neither Engels nor Hause on the bench in the last match. Who would come on at centre back if Mings or Konsa went down with an injury in the first minute? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure this is wise in the premier league really. Probably fine for 20mins at the end of game but what if the injury occurs in first 5 mins and you have Elmo against premier league strikers for 90mins. Thankfully it wasnt needed. Let’s hope Engels or Hause is back after international break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s hope Engels or Hause is back after international break. I agree it's not ideal but I'd say he would have been first in, looking at the subs list.

robby b Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Oh dear, Dean Smith has just announced that Engels hasn't trained, due to his thigh injury. This is worrying that he's still injured, he's been injured for ages now! :< Let's hope Hause can be match fit again soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's obvious a career ending injury can be covered (well I assume). But how about those who are out for years with small physical stuff or even mental stuff. Can that be covered too? Like us signing Collymore for instance. But fwiw pulled thigh muscles can be pretty severe. I tore off a groin muscle during the summer and I still can't have a proper ****.
