Off Topic Injury update 2022/2023

Flanno will be playing for the u21's this week I think.

 

Flanno played 30 minutes in an under 21 friendly game today, seems he came through it OK. But still be a few months before he is match fit

 

Good news.

You're right - will take him a little while to get to full fitness. May take him longer to become anything close to premiership standard.

That's before his injury ..

6 months left on his contract. Will be surprised if he's offered a new one.

 

Nice for him but he needs to be fit in 3 weeks time.

It definitely happened because our LFC scribe, James Pearce, was there

 

Enrique played the 90.

Does this mean people will eagerly await his return to first team action?

 

I would rather see Smith given game time

 

Jürgen Klopp today revealed Daniel Sturridge could make a return in Saturday's clash with West Ham United but ruled James Milner and Divock Origi out of the trip to London.
Sturridge last featured for the Reds in the 2-0 away loss to Newcastle United on December 6, but could come back into contention for the weekend’s Barclays Premier League game at Upton Park.
However, Origi, who sustained an injury in the Boxing Day win over Leicester City, and Milner (calf) will both miss the fixture against Slaven Bilic's side.
Speaking at his pe-match press conference, Klopp said: “Maybe Daniel [can play] if we try. Milner and Origi no."
The German also provided an update on Joe Allen, adding: “Joe Allen is ill. Yesterday afternoon the doctor told me we have to send him home so we have to wait for diagnosis there."
Jordan Henderson was forced off 61 minutes into Wednesday's 1-0 victory over Sunderland as a result of discomfort in his foot.
But the manager insisted it was too soon to make a decision yet on the severity of his skipper's problem.
He said: “[On Henderson] I have no update now. We have to wait a little bit because it was something with the heel but it could good for him we all hope. We have to see.
“Everybody knows Hendo is a real tough guy and yesterday he tried and then we saw it’s not perfect and so come on lets change. Now we have to wait a few hours more or a day or two and then we know more."

Klopp on Hendo, Sturridge and Stoke rotation
Jürgen Klopp has revealed that Jordan Henderson's latest injury lay-off could in fact be good news for Liverpool.
The captain was forced from the field an hour into last week's 1-0 win over Sunderland due to a recurrence of the heel pain that sidelined him earlier this season, missing Saturday's 2-0 defeat to West Ham United as a result.
However, speaking at his press conference ahead of Tuesday's Capital One Cup semi-final first-leg clash with Stoke City, Klopp was optimistic about Henderson's prognosis.
The German explained that his skipper's setback may even have relieved that troublesome pressure in his heel - though he warned it may take time to draw such a conclusion.
"We don't really know because we have to wait each day, each hour, each minute," Klopp said.
"The thing that happened with the tendon in the foot, it's good. It's painful but it's good.
"We hope that when the blood is out of the foot then the situation is solved but in this moment there is blood around the heel so it's not possible to train or to play.
"We hope it's not serious and we don't have to wait because we cannot do more. He's having treatment and, everything we can do to bring the blood out of the foot, we are doing.
"But we cannot rush more, it's time we need."
Klopp also confirmed that striker Daniel Sturridge will miss out on the clash with Mark Hughes' men at the Britannia Stadium.
The No.15 has, in the manager's words, been working through a 'mini pre-season' in recent weeks, but he will only be considered for a comeback once he has completed a number of consecutive training sessions.
The boss added: "Maybe you have the feeling that we trained now for three weeks with Daniel and say every day, 'more, more, more, more', and every day he's fitter and fitter and in the end I say, 'no, I wait'.
"It's not like this. Daniel had some problems in these weeks, not serious, but then he could not make the next session and we had to wait a day or something like this.
"[It's] how a pre-season can be. It's a pre-season without games so it should not happen too much but some little things happened, we always have to handle this.
"It's not a row of sessions and now we are here. I'm the first who will pick him when he's available, when he's ready for this, I will never hold him back.
"In this moment because he didn't have one session with the team, which was the usual plan for this week, he's not available.
"What we are trying to do now is to fill his body with energy and strength and everything, that's what we have to do.
"It would be easy for me to say, 'come on, let's try, we have problems, we don't score enough goals, bring him and let's see what happens', but that's where we have to be patient. We have to wait."
Klopp went on to admit that he has little room for manoeuvre when it comes to squad rotation ahead of Tuesday's game, with a spate of injuries having made it hard for him to freshen things up.
He explained: "We don't have that much opportunity for [changes]. It's not that we have six, seven, eight players to change in this moment, we have always all the squad with us.
We first of all have to react to the impact the last game had on the players then we have to decide. At the end, it's always that we go to this game and want to win and for this we make the squad.
"I cannot ignore the situation in the team after this number of games so we have to wait a little bit and use each hour.
"The session today is not a real season, it's only two days after the game. So, for sure, it's not possible to make an intensive training.
"I have to talk to Andy [Massey], the doctor, to Chris [Morgan], our head of physiotherapy, and we have to make decisions together."

So in other words, Sturridge got injured again during his "mini pre season"

 

My last dog suffered from that (blood build up in the foot and eventually leg), they never did find the cause and we ended up having to put him down

 

Best thing for him really. Sturridge, not your dog.

 

It's Henderson with the same complaint as my dog, same thing applies though

 

I know. But the best thing for Sturridge too. BTW I thought Henderson had already been put down?

 

Not yet, I think he wants to go to Madrid with Hazard, they are both using the same tactic of starting the game then waving to be subbed.

 

Same stats this season as well? They might be going about it the wrong way... now that Rafa's been sacked

 

I see some mancs are still crowing aver beating a managerless relegation threatened side.... at home....

I want to see how Utd go v newkie away another very poor side but one with a manager.

All this crowing could be confused with a desire to have a great bit of banter in the run up to the lfc v Utd game later this month but that's be giving too much credit.

 

Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana says Jurgen Klopp's training regime is not to blame for a spate of hamstring injuries.

Playmaker Philippe Coutinho and defender Dejan Lovren both limped off against Stoke, which led to TV pundit Graeme Souness suggesting it was time for the manager to consider modifying training.

"I don't think these injuries have got anything to do with any changes to our training," said Lallana.

"Sometimes you are just unlucky with injuries and we've had a lot of bad luck recently. At Liverpool we've got a world-class medical team here. We certainly can't point the finger at anyone."

 

If anything, its Rodgers probable lack of fitness training that is causing issues for our team. The team may be struggling with the change, but also the sh!t load of games we are playing at the moment.
Look at Tottenham, they are playing a high energy game, not many injuries at all though.
