roonst83 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) We absolutely need this guy for Saturday. Will be very worried if he’s not playing as I’m not expecting Bailey to start due to his late arrival. Edited August 7, 2021 by roonst83 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not terrible! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re going to have a large free kick deficit this season, need to spread those around the attack too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creeper Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Didnt train yesterday, not in the squad today, dont think he played in the behind closed doors game vs Crewe... Starting to worry now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Concerned he won't be fit to start the season and without Bailey and Traore we look a lot worse attacking wise. After losing Jack we really could have done with a solid start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TH Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Guessing he will most likely miss the opener, even if he gets over his injury he won’t be near full fitness, sounds like he’s been nursing the hip injury for a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like he's not that bad, but they didn't want to risk him in a friendly. I would understand if that's the case, but it's not ideal that we'll be starting the season proper with two of our potentially most important players nowhere near ready.

Fingers crossed that the next 6 days gives him time to be ready..... And yeah, possibly not having watkins, buendia, Bailey, Luiz and Sanson for the first games (at least), could really impact our season start.

Contact injury? If he has taken a big whack on his hip and it has caused a contusion, it can take a couple of weeks to heel before you are ready to take another whack. If he is doing any kind of training at all, I wouldn't be too concerned. The only way for him to get match fit now will be to play in matches, so if he's ready and pain free for Saturday might as well chuck him straight in to the fray. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
