Refs aren't protecting him enough. It's a disgrace really. Players are frequently hammering him down and avoids the yellow card which means they can keep doing it.

Shin splints aren't an impact injury, they are an overuse repetitive stress injury. They often coincide with a large uplift in training schedules to a higher intensity. Which is exactly what Jack did a few years back, he went away and trained like a MF and came back ripped like a beast. At some point they will need to have an extended period of rest as they won't just go away with careful management. They are also a bastard for recurrences. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be awesome if he's back to play against the Plop. Shin splints won't clear in a week IME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Based on absolutely nothing at all I think Villa have accepted a huge offer for him and won’t play him again (apart from maybe a cameo at the end of the season). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 (edited) Let’s say he is out for the rest of the season. That would be close to half the season out for a stress injury that by the sounds of it could return at any time. Maybe if a big bid was made for him the club would have a decision to make after all.... edit: before anybody gets angry I’m not for a second saying he will be out for the rest of the season or that we are going to sell him in the summer. Just having a discussion. Edited April 5, 2021 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just having a discussion. It’s a sad but fair point. The plus side for us if it is a recurring injury, other clubs may well be put off dropping big bucks on him. The downside for us is that even if he stays with us, long spells without him are something we might have to become accustomed to. Personally, recurring injury or not, he’s a special player for us that I’d try and keep at all costs. FWIW, I don’t believe any of the rehab/secret sale conspiracy theories.

Popular Post BleedClaretAndBlue Posted April 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 5, 2021 Some good quotes here from Emi Martinez... “He’s a good boy. He was born here (in Birmingham) and has loved the club since he was little. He gives everything for them. He is a player that you always need on and off the pitch.” “Villa are on the rise, it is clear from the numbers. We are doing important things and next year knowing each other more we will be fighting higher. Jack wants to be a part of it. He wants to be part of making Villa grand.” Click >> 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and me, the coke one where we can't play him out of fear that he'll get tested or that he's had a secret ban was daft but not playing him because he has an addiction for something that's not banned? Nah don't see it, especially seeing as he's been going to games 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digavilla Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 If he's out for few more games , top teams may have second thoughts , may view he’s not hardy enough/ injury prone , especially considering the big price tag.. Hazard/ Bale comes to mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
