A bit of it is due to us shopping for free agents I guess but that can't be helped. Coventry also have a chunky injury list at the moment for what it's worth and I think Milwall do too, or did until recently.
Millar, Belloumi and Matazo are last year's bad luck. If and when they return to full fitness (including post return injuries) then all we can hope for is they all remain the players they originally looked and can then have a few years injury free and contributing significantly to the success of the team. The real frustrating ones for me are McBurnie, Lundstram and, to a lesser extent, Crooks. All solid and proven at this level and all contributing to our good start to the season before falling with odd (unfortunate?) injuries. Ok, Lundstram's is a calf injury with defined treatment and clear return route but McBurnie's is looking like one that's hard to pin down and may turn into an ongoing 'two weeks away' scenario and Crooks' is a real 'what are the chances?' one. The best we can hope for is that the team returns to something looking like full strength in the New Year. Hopefully we've not fallen too far behind by then.
Hull City expect to be without star striker Oli McBurnie until after the international break, after suffering a setback in his recovery from a calf injury.
Feels like that was always the case and it was just a bit of mind games/trying to keep fans optimistic saying otherwise. If we get through the next two games with 4 points and get McBurnie, Lundstram and Belloumi back for QPR, that's as positive as I could have been I think.
Belloumi set back. Mcburnie till after the international break if not more. Be the same squad for the next two.
Fully agree. But once again we're having a season full of injuries. Imagine what season we could be having if McBurnie, Millar & Belloumi stayed fit.
