Grade 3. No.

And, it's the coaches responsibility to ensure that players are ready, especially a new player who is getting photos taking for PR with his first day!!

I find all this mad and if it was me, full scale investigation would be had. Shouldn't happen at all this.
Things happen in sport, there doesn't need to be blame on anyone. Hamstring injuries can happen to anyone, even with a proper warm up and stretching.
 
It would have been picked up yes.

My guess is that they have let him train at too far of an intensity given he has been flying about, lazing about waiting for contracts and PR stuff.

Then it's went. Increased attention to detail needed.

Physiology is my expert area. Without being too arrogant. If it is 3 months , then that's a grade 3 rupture. That doesn't happen in light training. Especially the day before the game.

My guess is it won't be a few months. Be a grade 2 and be 6-8 weeks.

I'll ask about to see what the craic is

With all due respect, I dont think it's as cut and dry as that. One of my mates snapped the ligaments in his ankle flicking his foot the wrong way when he was sat at his desk at work. On crutches for a fair few months. Sometimes you can just be unlucky.

Is your mate an athlete ? Or just a member of the general population? If it's the latter, then yes, general life mobility can cause such injuries. Atheltes are far far less prone to this.

I think Mowbray is applying some exception management to the “few months”’comment. A hamstring strain wouldn’t set him out for 2 or 3 months, but will set him back a few weeks + the time he needs naturally anyway. Let’s hope it’s not too bad.

Incorrect.

Strains are graded.

1 - two to three weeks

2 - four to six weeks

3 - eight to twelve weeks.
 
We already needed one more striker before this injury! Would love to find out what witch doctor has cursed our club.

Probably an effing mag one. Enough of them look like gypsies to begin with, so it's not too much of a stretch to blame them.

He's a normal sized bloke, 30s, not overweight, plays 5 a side regularly.

You're entitled to your guess, I just don't have any reason to believe it. I'll chalk it off as bad luck.

Any idea why I keep doing my Quad every time I play footy? Am I not giving it enough time to recover each time?
 
I did say a major review into the medical team was required after the end of last season. A good medical team can be the difference between promotion and sending the oompa-loompahs out in a play-off semi final.

We'll see how they get on with Dack. Every man and his dog knows he'll need to be managed very carefully. No excuse.
 
I think when TM says a few months hes probably not just meaning the injury. The lad has just come in so will need time to adapt to england n learn how we play.

I reckon itll be a 4-6 weeks with the injury n then time to ease him in

Another striker was a must anyway
Still getting linked with the Ukrainian lad

Some serious questions need to be asked here. We don't get injuries where lads are out for a game or two, they're out for a month or two. ****ing ridiculous. Not having just bad luck, happens too often.
I made a flippant joke last week about needing a squad of about 40 to cope with the injuries we get, but seems that's probably true.
 
Happens a lot when players don't warm up properly. Like you say just bad luck
just about to post the same. All the ones I have had experience with have been lack of a good warm up or an underlying injury. Even with my albeit limited medical knowledge, a poor warm up leads to log of other unrelated injuries.

I think it’s unlikely Stewart goes so we may end up with four strikers at this rate. What is this madness
