YouUnastanFren Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 3 minutes ago, WHY said: If Smith says he’s hopeful he will be back after the international break, that means we won’t see him this side of Christmas Or that he'll play this weekend. That's the trick, understate the seriousness 1/3 of the time, tell the truth 1/3 and overstate it 1/3 and bam, the injury updates are actually less useful than blind guesses.

Keyblade Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Kind of crazy that our 30m winger being injured doesn't derail our session at all thanks to our squad depth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marka Ragnos Posted September 23, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 23, 2021 As I understand it, with quad injuries, ain't it true that rest is critical to ward off a more horrendous injury and long-term problems -- BUT, quads do heal, especially in the young? I'm no physio, so this is all a mystery to me. Hope he's OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 "Footballer in injured shocker" I'm not sure this is as big a deal as people are making out. Shit happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 (edited) Frustrating. Yeah given Deano's record around injury messaging I assume Bailey will be out for at least a month. It happens and we have squad depth but damn I would have loved to see him rip ManU a new one This is on the official site of anyone wants a more optimistic scenarioBailey has now been assessed by the medical staff and is targeting a return to action against Wolverhampton Wanderers next month.https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2021/september/Smith-issues-injury-updates/ Edited September 23, 2021 by ciggiesnbeer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyVillans Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I'm happy they posted something rather than waiting on the day and being disappointed when he isn't in the squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Inspiration Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 As frustrating as this is, he’s looked the signing who’s ready to contribute straight away. Just be patient and get him right, if he’s firing on all cylinders from the winter period onwards we will come on really strong late in the season and it gives the likes of little emi a chance to bed in a bit more, Bertie to get match sharpness and the two up top to get a better understanding of each other without Leon taking away any of their minutes which I’m sure was around the corner. Disappointing yes but we will be ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
