Depends on the ligament damage. Which we have no idea about.
Also important for his career. Gomes has been shit since he came back.
A bit harsh on Joe
. I feel like I'm going to incur the wrath of Welshred but I think Gomez's injury was the worst of the lot and is, or at least used to be, known as a career ender in the NBA. It's good we're in a position to bring him back into the fold at a much slower rate. It's complete speculation but it's possible his training is still focussed more on strengthening than match preparation so he's not going to be as sharp as the others.
I think Fofana's injury was very loosely comparable to Harvey's (fracture plus ligament damage). Fofana suffered his about a month before Harvey and Leicester have been saying recently that he's doing better than expected so could be available shortly after Christmas. Fofana plus a month may be a useful rough guide so late January/early February time but if he's back sooner then that would be a nice bonus.
