Your medical team was poor a few years ago. I take it Steve Bruce would have improved it since he took over with promotion and all that The reason I say this is when you had Martyn Waghorn on loan he had a knee problem which your medical team thought was a little strain and they couldn't work out why he wasn't recovering properly. We had a look realised the problem and sent him off to a specialist
All I know is that patella dislocation can cause problems later on, even if he does make a recovery. I've heard that players who recover from this type of injury have to be wrapped up in cotton wool for the rest of their careers in case they get injured again. Aluko had a reoccurring injury, but he looks pretty sharp now and no sign of him getting injured again. TWT, I guess.
Gutted for Snodgrass. Even when he's recovered from the injury, it'll be another couple of months following that to get him back to full match fitness.
WTF does this always happen to City...I'm beginning to wonder if the big fella up there doesn't like us....Give us a break FFS... Something tells me we won't see Snoddy back in a city shirt for 12 months... Still we've got Brady, Quinny, Meyler and Boyd in the building, but knowing our luck that lad from Hereford will be in the first team soon...
Steve Bruce says Robert Snodgrass has had a knee op and he thinks he'll probably miss the season. #hcafc @RadioHumberside Tweet half an hour ago from Burnsy
Unfortunately that is pretty much to be expected. Not only has he an injury to recover from, but then has to get his match fitness back. The latter took far longer than most envisaged for the likes of Fryatt, Aluko, Brady, Dudgeon.
Oh well, it gives Bruce less of a dilemma over how to fit Ince in at least! Moves Quinn closer to the first team too, he'll be fighting to show he should stay. Wonder if he'll sign another midfielder now or just Rhodes/a striker.
How does the medical insurance work? Do we get his wages and proportion of his fee? Will we even bother using the money to get a replacement?
