Topic: Injury (and absence) related chat (so the news is kept in the other thread)

[danscib]

Worth remembering the amount of injuries Gerrard had around a similar age as Curtis

[classycarra]

Still no word on what was ailing Jones causing him to miss the last two games. Likely got some injury, if not another recurrence of stress fracture,but maybe trying not to draw attention to it while we have no games

Here he is two days ago. Pretty suspicious how they cut off the image of his leg below the knee. He's obviously wearing a protective boot.

Or, you know, maybe he's not injured at all, which would probably make more sense than us keeping a serious injury quiet. Ljinders was asked about injuries and no mention of Jones.

More likely FSG do not want news of Jones injury to get out there right before sale. Multiple billions of dollars could be riding on this.

Oops! Bit quick to cast aspersions fellas, as if there was some kind of conspiracy theory

[El Lobo]

They’ve photoshopped the leg cast out!

[So… Howard Philips]

They’ve photoshopped the leg cast out!

Never mind the leg can’t they’ve photoshopped someone else’s legs on to Curtis. Look fat too pale, skinny and hairless.

[El Lobo]

Matip looking at him in disgust as if to say you’re far too injury prone you waster

Disgust? He's actually looking on in admiration and saying, the young padawan is learning how to be as injury prone as I am.

Yah the protective boot/leg cast imagined out of nowhere was an odd shout!

[CraigDS]

He is in trainers rather than boots though.

[Machae]

Melo travelled too, don't know how far he is on his rehabilitation though

[Too early for flapjacks?]

Melo travelled too, don't know how far he is on his rehabilitation though

I think he tore his quad in October and it's a 4 month recovery so probably not available until February.

[RedBec1993]

Diaz suffered a set back… absolutely fantastic 😫😫😫😫

[TepidT2O]

This is going to be one of those ons where he needs the operation after all isn’t it???

[DelTrotter]

Sickening but will no doubt be the first of many for us with this "intense" training camp.

[Nick110581]

What did Diaz do in first place ??

[naYoRHa2b]

Not sure it's bad luck at this point.

[Samie]

Not sure it's bad luck at this point.

It say's he complained of discomfort. i don;t know how you can blame the medical team on that.

[amir87]

Really shit for him. Looked so happy in training the last few days.

[Nick110581]

Really shit for him. Looked so happy in training the last few days.

We literally don’t know what’s up with him.

[tubby]

Fucking hell.

[Stockholm Syndrome]

Well shit.

Btw speaking of forward injuries, have we heard anything more about where Jota is up to?

[killer-heels]

Well shit.

End of January apparently.

Big blow, means Nunez, Firmino and Salah from now on.

[amir87]

We literally don’t know what’s up with him.

But we know he's had a setback. It's not great, is it.

[TepidT2O]

But we know he's had a setback. It's not great, is it.

It might be nothing of course. Just a niggle. Seems like more of course, but might not be

[El Lobo]

Klopp told Liverpoolfc.com: “It’s all good [fitness-wise] with the boys who are here.

“What’s not good is we have to see with Lucho. He felt something and we need to have further assessment there, but apart from that they all look really, really good.”

[rob1966]

What did Diaz do in first place ??

Got booted by Partey at Arsenal, can't find any concrete reports on the exact injury, but been hinted at an MCL ligament strain or tear.

[killer-heels]

Cant be great that he has had to leave the whole training camp.

[tubby]

Must be going for a scan back home, hopefully nothing but with our track record it feels like we'll be missing him for a month or two.

[duvva 💅]

That’s shite news. Hope it’s not too bad and he’ll still be back before Jota

[El Lobo]

Cant be great that he has had to leave the whole training camp.

I know its absolutely banging heads against a brick wall at this point, but I really do wish we wouldnt just launch at the most negative outlook immediately based on literally a couple of lines. Could be bad, could just be a niggle. The report says he's been doing normal team training for ten days, seems odd that he'd be able to get ten days in and then suddenly find out he's actually badly injured after all.

[Armchair expert]

We far too frequently seem to rely on time for players to get over an injury instead of taking the hit and having surgery....I know it's not the lads fault but I'm getting sick of this as regards our players
Any chance this World Cup can go on for an extra few months

[MD1990]

Diaz's injury was an MCL. I actually had 2 of them myself. From my experience is can cause quite a bit of discomfort because it is aggravate when kicking the ball. Im hoping it is just a week or 2 setback rather than a surgery which is rare for an MCL

Why give players an operation when they can recover naturally? There's always risks associated with surgery, so no need to take them if not required. Mate of mine had knee surgery, surgeon made an error and cut a nerve to her foot. It's that kind of thing that you don't risk unless its necessary.

I've done it once, took about 12 weeks before I stopped feeling the knee.

Yeah same with me. I started playing again aftyer 8 weeks but took a while to fully heal. Hoping it is similar with Diaz & nothing shows in the scan

[killer-heels]

Anyone on here who has suffered the holy trinity of PCL, ACL and MCL injuries?

[rob1966]

Yeah, hopefully it's nothing more than that.

I'd pinched the cartilidge in my left knee, physio have the me all clear to start light running and promptly did my MCL on uneven pavement. She was not happy and told me to give up running after that.

And seems like you’ve taken a few heavy hits rather than a LovelyCushionedHeader
