Mine burst as a teenager and it was a 3 month recovery period. It’s more likely to be 5/6 weeks.
It is what it is. As Brightonskyblue says we need a loan, whether we can bring one in good enough is another matter. I'm not ready to write our season off, even though it is a major blow, just have to see what we can do.
Time to give Tavares a chance of some game time

He went in Tuesday night , operation yesterday and discharged today
hoping to be out 4 weeks
What about Tavares ? replacing Walker as fourth choice striker I know he’s not been tried and tested yet but Walker hardly played other than ten minutes, ten minutes there & Taveres is proving he knows where the back of the net is give him a go, I remember us hanging back with Callum Wilson and look what that produced when he got his chance.
Left field post:
Was there more to the BCD fixture against Solihull B than the fact they were local and we wanted to get some minutes into the fringe players?
Did Mark & Ady want to look at one of their players?
The only player is thr 6’10” 21 y.o. that was being scouted by Celtic, Man City etc. (allegedly - maybe agent talk) who did well last season but can’t seem to get in their first team this year.
I’m not advocating anything - just wondering “why Solihull B”?
Again not advocating signing a non/ league B team player to replace MG, but thinking the u23s might have gaps with Walker gone, MG out and the need to perhaps have FT on the fringe of the 1st team.

One of those things. Keyhole surgery so hopefully only a few weeks. We'll get by but feel for Matty as about the first time since he's been with us he's been playing without injury.
It was against Solihull U19s. No first team players played
He's had no luck the past season and a half. Plays himself into form, and then he's out again.
We're almost forced to play one up top now, given that we have no other strikers on the bench if we play the two of them. Not forgetting Waghorn is nowhere near match fit, too. Hopefully Vik regains his midas touch and all is well, but there's certainly a chance that Godden missing the next few weeks will define our season.

It's very difficult to see where the goals will come from unless Gyokeres rediscovers his early season form. The Walker loan looked sensible until this news.
Squad still feels a bit thin now with a lot of games in Feb for injuries, loss of form or suspensions. I know he wants more quality but I think we might need some short term cover simply to increase numbers.
Anyone pretending this isn't pretty disastrous for us is kidding themselves. He's scored close to half our goals in our last 10 games. Even if he's back in a month he'll miss 8 games, 12 if it's 6 weeks.

Sadly I agree. Before this I thought there was a reasonable chance of a play off place especially if Gyokeres returned to form too. But now I am far from confident. It is a massive blow especially with so many games coming up.
It's a blow for sure. Of our current 3 strikers one hasn't scored for 3 months, one hasn't played for 3 months and the other has never played for us. Over to you Vik and let's hope none of those gets injured.
And yet it would appear some here have more sympathy for Derby than their own club
I slipped while doing the housework mate, it's not funny.
You'll be glad to know Henry is unscathed.
