We must expect he'll be able to play a part. And Liverpool must do as well. If there was any chance this was gonna be months they'd likely have kept him to use him at the back end of season.
Saw someone earlier this morning (might have been otr) say it was a stress fracture in his back. If it is, what’s the average recovery time for that? Google says 6-8 weeks. If it’s that long he’s not really worth signing!
Apparently related to an injury he had previously he was out for 6 months with a lower back stress fracture and came back in November if it’s occurred again now I’m furious the club have signed him,
Club comms just say he needs a period of rest, sounds to me he is just running the risk if he doesn’t rest
Yeh could be that his back is showing signs of stress but no actual fracture? I'm sure that's "seeable" in scans. So this might be pre-emptive rather than reactive.
If he has a back issue it could have caused serious problems. Picking it up now might just be a lucky break for the lad. Just look what has happened to Huggins.
Just said in a different reply Phil Smith reckons in his article no party was aware of it, definitely sounds pre-emptive, surely
