The Injury Thread 2022/23

How has it gone from 4-6 weeks to 12? Surely they’d know right after the scan based on whether it was a complete or partial tear.

 

I bet Tufan will end up out for months too. That’s all three of our best signings this summer probably out for months.

 

He was subbed off very quickly I thought it was completely precautionary, was gutted seeing his hamstring strapped up on the bench

 

He hadn't had the scan. Shota just said 4-6 weeks minimum straight after the game.

 

And up to 3 months doesn’t mean it will be 12 weeks either. Some people get overwrought very easily.

 

And as Michael Owen himself admitted, he was never the same player afterward, lost yards of pace and always had it in his mind it would go again...

 

Owen always claimed his op was a bodged job, and medical techniques have evolved since then.

 

Still, there’s been recent studies that show players who suffer serious hamstring injuries like complete or even partial tears lose pace and endurance permanently. That’s my biggest worry for Tufan and especially Allahyar.

 

Unlike Stevie Wonder, we shall see.

 

They generally can’t scan until a little while after the injury. It allows any swelling around the injury to go down.

 

Tufan walked off, Allahyar struggled much more getting off the pitch.

 

Summer isn't over yet.

 

Ah I see they had time to repair

 

This is ****ing depressing.

 

He was holding it after running through to take the shot but carried on until he was involved in the heavy challenge. Hopefully didn't aggrevate it too much by not getting immediate attention.

 

I'm no expert but I can't understand why they didn't get Al off on a stretcher. Walked a long way.

 

It was painful viewing after the game. Wonder why he didn’t go down the tunnel?

 

I notice Tufan felt his hamstring at least 10 minutes before he finally came off.

 

Maybe its my memory, but he seemed to feel it a little against Burnley...?

 

He did.
