Injuries

[dc_blade]

Evening all,

It's been a while.

Good news - Bogle, Lowe, Berge, Doyle, Anel, Robinson & McBurnie have all returned to training, though I have a feeling the latter three may be rested for the weekend (certainly McBurnie).
Other than Robinson (and with RND out long-term) I think all of these players make our best XI so they will provide a huge boost to us over the festive period. The World Cup break should prove to be huge for us.

Bad news - its been confirmed that Brewster & RND required surgery on their hamstring injuries.
A Welsh journalist suggested that RND would be "at least another 10 weeks away," whilst PH confirmed Brewster would be a similar timescale to RND.
John Fleck suffered a setback to his recovery with scans showing further fluid build-ups around his knock. Given how long it takes Fleck to get going (even at the best of times) I think it's vital that we bring somebody in to cover that area. Personally, I like the look of Barlaser at Rotherham. Out of contract in the Summer, attracting interest from Middlesbrough.
I've also included George Baldock in the list below as before the break PH mentioned that he had been playing through the pain barrier and he hasn't been spotted in football training in any of the clubs media releases.


T Doyle - 10th December 2022 - calf injury

J Bogle - 10th December 2022 (2 months) - minor knee operation

M Lowe - 10th December 2022 (3 months) - hamstring

S Berge - 10th December 2022 (3 months) - ankle ligaments

A Ahmedhodzic - 10th December 2022 (6 weeks) - glandular fever

O McBurnie - 19th December 2022 - ankle ligaments / hernia op

G Baldock - 19th December 2022 - hamstring

J Robinson - 19th December 2022 (6 weeks) - hamstring

D Jebbison - January 2023 (3 months) - ankle ligaments

I Coulibaly - January 2023 (5 months) - knee ligaments

J Fleck - January 2023 - knock to leg (2 months)

R Brewster - March 2023 (5 months) - hamstring surgery

R Norrington-Davies - March 2023 (5 months) - hamstring surgery

J O'Connell - unlikely to return (2.5 years+) - knee

Jebbison appears to be training again. Pictured on the club's Instagram today.

Hecky also mentioned no new Injuries so Baldock should be included on Saturday too.

Saw the images of him out running. Haven't seen any of him kicking a ball around and he wasn't name-checked in the press conference as a returnee, so have assumed he may still have a couple of weeks to go.

We all know he likes to keep his cards close to his chest. As always, its pure guesswork based on the bits we hear / see from the club.
Hopefully you're right.

With also it seems good news on Jebbison, I make that 5 long term injuries?

 

[cahill]

RND been our standout player for me this season.

Certainly up there.
Anel, Norwood, Ndiaye & McBurnie being the others.

 

[Groucho Blade]

“Back in training” does not necessarily mean “playing Satdi”

 

[cahill]

Certainly up there.
Anel, Norwood, Ndiaye & McBurnie being the others.

So much to look forward to for the rest of the season, all the squad have shone to be fair. So far. If we go into January in a top two slot it will help to retain our much sought after players and attract additional that H&SM deem necessary

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Nice to have back..
Anel
Bogle
Lowe
Fleck
Doyle
Berge

Looks like it's down to 6 now?

Definitely out;
O'Connell
RND
Brewster

Unsure;
Robinson
Couilbaly
McBurnie

We only have Fleck, RND & Brewster out.

We can’t think about O’Connell he’s probably going to retire & Coulibaly is an absolute unknown that would probably be sent out on loan if he was fit

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Yeah just the 5 out long term

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Yeah just the 5 out long term

Forgot about Jebbo too. Once we get Jebbo & Fleck back its a very hard squad for players to get into. I can see some decent Championship names not even being on the bench.

Late Feb you're looking at Brewster & RND coming into training. If we can avoid another injury crisis (very unlikely) then we can push on with one of the best squads

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Jebbison been training so I make that just the 5 not fit for a while.

We'll continue to miss RND but having Lowe back will certainly soften the blow, although I expect Hecky will continue with Stevens and Clark unless their form drops because they've got the shirt.

Fleck isn't what he was but he still offers balance to the side and is still a solid player. Brewster...meh! Reminds me of Adrian Littlejohn and in fairness to Littlejohn he was a free transfer from Walsall! Did well considering too! For me, as it stands anyway, Brewster is the most overrated player and flop we've ever had at United. £2m for Darius Henderson was another because £2m was a big figure for United back then and he certainly was not worth that but even he scored a few goals in fairness!

 

[Silent Blade]

Blackburn defender crocked after a few minutes in today's match and is subbed.

Blame it on Hecky and our conditioning coach!

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Any news on Doyle?

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

O'Connell
RND
Fleck
Couilbaly
Brewster

Jebbison and Robinson weren't in squad but they are back training as we know.

 

[Frank the tank]

Any news on Doyle?

Training according to hecky ( for what thats worth ) and not far off returning just building up fitness

Suppose bench was strong yesterday too

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Any news on Doyle?

'We want to get Tommy back to the levels of fitness he was at before his injury'

Tommy Doyle is closing on a return to the Sheffield United first-team, with the Manchester City loanee “champing at the bit” to be back involved according to his manager.

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

We know four of the injured players are long term but any updates been on Couilbaly? Had his op in August

 

[Lane Ender]

Forgot about Jebbo too. Once we get Jebbo & Fleck back its a very hard squad for players to get into. I can see some decent Championship names not even being on the bench.

Fleck shouldn’t even be on the bench he’s yesterdays news
The invisible man

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Daniel Jebbison could benefit from January Sheffield United loan move

Could 'Jebbo' be sent out again?

Yep. Him and Osula need league 1 football regularly.

 

[robbiez666]

Fleck?​

Still sore going to have another opinion on that and see what needs to be done when he has been getting contact he's been suffering

Robbo, Doyle and Jebbo are they now back?​

They are fine and have been training a week or so it's important to get those minutes to keep them fit so that when they play they can help

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Fleck?​

Robbo, Doyle and Jebbo are they now back?​

Rumours abound that Fleck is now out long-term.

 

[robbiez666]

McBurnie

How is he following his operation and ankle ligament?​

He's not where we want him to be we need to get him back 100% fit not him putting himself forward to play cameo roles that has to be the priority - he's missed out on minutes this week for matters out of our control but we'll pick it up

 

[robbiez666]

Rumours abound that Fleck is now out long-term.

Yeah, may well be done now in terms of the time he has with us. Sadly. He's faded over the last few years but would have been handy to have him around the squad.

 

[robbiez666]

State of the squad over next few weeks​

We've got a good group now, you can see that you can see the bench Lowey is as fit as a fiddle, Jayden is back and Bash has been playing and he didn't get on. Put Jebbo, Tommy and Robbo into that and I am going to be leaving some good players out of the squad and that's not a reflection on them but on us.

 

[Cappy]

Rumours abound that Fleck is now out long-term.

Arse. As in gone for the season?
