Charlie Austin

Rumours around today that he could possibly be back in 4 weeks.

That would mean he could be available from Yeovil onwards, missing around 5 more games, and back for the last 11.

If so that would be brilliant news, but seems odd considering it was 'long term' only a few weeks ago.

 

Any idea where these rumours have emanated from?

 

Let's say a prayer.

 

I just heard it from someone after the game who we have spoken to many times before, so no reason to lie. But I am sceptical of it to be honest, but you never know.

 

It will be still probably too late the way the things are going right now

 

Ciarrai I will join you God knows we need guidance from above.

 

It happens often that players heal or get better quicker than predicted but it's still a rumour.

 

I read that he's back in training which I assume would be running and other non contact stuff.

 

Not surprised with this at all. Happens all the time. Clubs always talk the worst case scenario to the media. We need him asap!

 

I like Austin

A real grafter and can finish out of nothing. Good to see him at the ground yesterday.

 

As is always the case with a crucial player, I would love to see him back, but hate to think he rushes back, only to get injured again due to not being ready.

 

he's on soccer am this sat so maybe we'll find out more then.

 

The guardian said he would be back in april last week.....Definitely think the time scale has been exagerated....Harry done it in the past with other players injured.

 

TBH I'd settle for him being back and fully fit in time for the play offs!!

 

Harry said only last week that he was out for the season. And, of course, we all trust 100% of what Harry says, don't we?

 

Think it might be all over by then...

 

Harry doesn't know which eye will twitch next

 

Wouldn't mind having him back, as long as he is properly healed and not coming back too soon. We don't need to lose him again
