I broke a finger nail last night. Does that count as an injury?

Perhaps the players' furlough fitness programme wasn't intense enough

What's embarrassing? Biamou and Jones twice suffered theirs in matches

Dacosta apparently landed awkwardly and heard something snap
Not sure if it's an ACL but bad luck for the lad
The other injuries are part of the fallout from high intensity preseason training and are to be expected really after so big a break from playing
Don't think any of them are too serious

Falling awkwardly and hearing a snap could be a few things depending on the mechanism but Id say pretty likely to be an an ACL if scans have confirmed ligament implication...

Horrible second post but as it stands we have the following:

Kelly - calf. Not sure how long but hopefully back for Peterborough game.
Jones - torn glute (ouch) - max 2 weeks.
Marosi - shoulder. No time frame but hopefully fit for first game.
Pask - ankle injury. Worry as he suffered broke ankle last season - only a niggle apparently.
Dacosta - ligament damage, severe and club not putting time frame on it. Suggests out until at least Xmas.

Interesting that Xmas has been mentioned though as usual ACL rehab time is 9-12 months + a while in the U23s before full return to play...

Such a long injury list does not bode well with the season just under 3 weeks away. Hope for a speedy recovery for all and for new signings to come through the door asap.

Im expecting most clubs to have big injury problems this year - if not already then a few weeks into the season. Periodisation has been all over the place due to covid and you can always expect plenty of muscle and tendon problems cropping up when play returns without the gradual stepping up of training intensity over a proper pre-season

Yes I fell awkwardly and heard a snap... it was a floorboard.

We are effectively trying to get Championship level players on League 1 wages, it’s easier said than done. That’s why we’ve seen low level punts like Hilssner and Da Costa

Those two on the face of it are pretty odd signings even if we were in league 1

I would say the most worrying part is Robins has said lockdown took a lot of out of the players and we’re still weeks away from match fitness

Out of these though Jobello had already done it twice. Max once, dacosta once, Jones first time with us then again, andreu once and allasani once.

Basically it's a fucker and if it happens once looks like you're prone

It's a weird situation, everyone said we'd have an advantage because championship clubs played 10 games in about 3 weeks, then a month off then back into it again where as we were rested.

Who's to say our advantage kicks in later in the year when by Nov teams are fucked and we are hitting our stride. We just have to manage players and see what happens. Dacosta landing funny can't be helped, happened to me playing 6 aside and my knees been fucked since (still play though just can't bend down on my left - should prob get it scanned)

Niggles that kelly and pask have hopefully will be resolved in a week or 2 but obviously means they are then a week behind schedule

These injuries will be happening at other clubs - we just don't scan their news feeds to know about them, and only tend to hear about it if it is either a well known player, or a very bad injury.

Indeed. The papers etc doing previews of games Sat morning and the amount of times you'd see "Coventry have a fully-fit squad to chose from" yet you knew we had about half a dozen out injured and a fair few carrying knocks but playing. And that was from journalists whose job it was to find this stuff out.

If the club are hoping Dacosta could be back by Christmas it probably isn't an ACL
It could be an MCL which also gives a popping sound when it goes
It's a serious injury but not as bad as an ACL and has a much shorter recovery time
ACLs are getting more and more common
I'd estimate there is at least one a week on average in pro football over the season
Often they are sustained when the player lands awkwardly and not in a challenge
Bradley Dack at Blackburn and Bellerin at Arsenal are good examples
I was watching both games and knew the poor guys had almost certainly done their ACL the minute they went down
There is a theory that modern boots may be part of the reason that have become so common but no one really knows

The time-frame mentioned tallies with MCL but its fairly rare to injure it in isolation due to an awkward fall... It usually happens in combination with ACL and meniscus during an awkward fall or as a result of impact to the outside of the knee

Don't know if you missed it, but the championship played the rest of their games. So no it isn't. It's only the same for Rotherham.

Dabo back in full training from the looks of things. Maybe he’ll be fit for Bristol City after all.

In a nutshell.

Dacosta Nov
Rose no date but looks like October
Dabo the same
Hilsner getting treatment so should start running better now.
Jobello training end of Sept. First team I'd imagine a few months later tbh

I think rose and Dabo could be looking to get some game time in the next week , Hilßner just needs to adapt to our game , jobello this is his 2nd acl remember so can’t afford to get it wrong

Breathing issue for our German friend ?

Thought Dabo and Rose still had a bit to go according to MR?

Michael Rose is nearly there. Huge boost!

“I wanted to try and get Michael on, but I just thought that it was too much, we’re playing a game on Tuesday and hopefully we can get the minutes into him that way and see where he’s at, he’s not too far away, his fitness levels will be a bit away.

“You can’t have too many good players, I was tempted to use him, I was tempted to put him on, but I wanted to have two strikers and I couldn’t do that straightaway because of the way that they were playing, it would have killed us.

“It was too much for Rosey, because I wanted another one upfront, I had to sacrifice that, but my first thought was to get Rosey on, clearly it was a big ask and it wouldn’t be fair on him.

“I think it was as important to get two strikers on and take the game to them and after an hour it felt like the right time to do that, they’d started to die away a little bit, we’d seen off their threat.

Weird that last we heard Dabo would be back first yet Rose seems to have beaten him to it.
