Topic: Injury news only thread. *

Just a throwaway thought...

I've seen in other sports sometimes an injured player will with the coaches (like in a coaches' box in certain sports) during a game and during the week they would be even be in watching a few sessions and around the coaches trying to learn things off them and analyse things. Wondering if it is used often in football? From the outer it seems like injured players just do their recoveries separately and have chats with coaches but are not really involved with the main group. Would it be beneficial to allow certain players (as long as it doesn't affect their recovery) to follow the coaches around while their out so they can have more insight into the team's tactics and each player's roles, especially their own roles when they return? This gives them more of an opportunity to understand the tactical requirements of the game while they are physically doing nothing but recovery which will hopefully help them improve a bit more when they return, at least mentally. This could be especially beneficial to newer signings like Keita. Or would it be too much of a nuisance for the coaching staff?

That's an interesting idea, as I'm sure they don't spend 8 hours a day in the gym or recovery. It would also help the mental health side of recovery, being outside, around the squad, and following the teams development and tactics - which could change a lot in the case of a player who's out for a year.

Alisson moving really well while collecting his UEFA award.

Neither Mo or Sadio will be playing this international break or next, gives us a real help managing their freshness

Thanks for bumping the injury thread during an international break mate, then starting it by mentioning Mo and Mane, that didn't cause me any panic at all!

It is good news though

Are we expecting Naby to be back 100% after the break?

[Welshred]

No. He hasn't been 100% for about 6 months

[newterp]

No. He hasn't been 100% for about 6 months

wasn't he full speed up until the barcelona injury in May? That's just ~4 months.

[Welshred]

He had an injury in March, came back and a month later picked up the first groin injury, came back too soon and no hes got that one. I wouldn't say he's been 100% at any point since March to be honest.

[Bolrick]

Everytime this thread pops up..................... I am literally scared to open it.

[paulrazor]

there was a clip on the site of Alisson light training

moving very slowly though

With good positioning you don't need to move quickly.

There are rumours he could be back for the Newcastle game

[Crimson]

No reason to rush him back. I'm sure the Staff agrees!

Adrian had a solid game last time and will have had more time with Klopp during the break. He should play against the Toons.

I’m sure we’ve some midfielders who can play there instead of Naby rather than having to play Adrian there.

No idea why I read that as Alisson 

Just wishful thinking I suppose..

i had a post about Alisson just above it which you probably read

no idea when he is back anyway

[Lycan]

I just pray Baby Keith can finally put his injury woes behind him and show everyone who has written him off what a great little player he really is.

I think Alisson could do a decent job in midfield, if needed

[exiledintheUSA]

Bet he'd score a flick it to yourself set-up and volley before Bobby.

I've been banging the Keita drum for ages but my mates (who never watched him at Leipzig) have finally been worn down to the point where they think the hype was ultimately undeserved. I'm proper desperate me for Naby to become the player we know he can be and prove me right!

[harleydanger]

I reckon Naby lights up the 2nd half of the season.

[Redcap]

Just be patient re: Naby. It's not like he's a Lallana or a Sturridge at this point.

I mentioned it somewhere earlier but it bears mentioning again - Naby is a guy that will spend about six weeks a year out, based on his past injury record. That sounds like a lot, but it means he would still play a solid 40+ games a year if he comes back hitting the ground running and none worse for wear. The good news is, throughout his career he's had injuries, but they've never been debilitating - he's come back strong every time. So I wouldn't worry too much.

[CraigDS]

Achterberg on Alisson...

“Ali has been working with Dave [Rydings] in the gym a lot to improve the strength and try to keep the fitness levels up,” he said.

“In the last few days he has been out on the pitch to do some catching and footwork, as well as small passing drills.

“He has made steady progress, but it is difficult to say how long it will take or how it will progress. It needs time and we cannot look too far ahead, so we take each day as it comes, see how he feels, and then make progress from that.”

[gazzalfc]

Yeah. We're not seeing him back before Christmas

[CraigDS]

Yeah. We're not seeing him back before Christmas

He’ll be back in a few weeks if he’s out on the pitch already doing catching and footwork.

[Caston]

Yeah. We're not seeing him back before Christmas

How did you manage to come up with that conclusion with what was posted?!

[Zlen]

Its pointless trying to guess anything about when will players return. Liverpool are masters of blowing smoke up the proverbial. Hope for the best, but dont be surprised if its much longer than expected.

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

Yeah. We're not seeing him back before Christmas

So he's gone from being on crutches to doing light training and ball work in 5 weeks, but you think he will be out for another 3 and a half months?

I mean, I know people like to be negative, but COME ON...

He's two weeks away from being back, tops.

[paulrazor]

I dont think he is going to be out for either 2 weeks or 3.5 months

I dont know how long he will be out for, i would have been worried had we signed another keeper as it was rumoured we were looking at Vorm even after Lonergan and Adrian signed.

[farawayred]

When the injury happened, I said here that I expected him back in three months. I have no medical background, but from his own words and various descriptions by experts, it seemed that the injury was identical to what happened to me. Ali will be back in November, I reckon.

He’s literally out there doing footwork. What makes you think it will be another 7 weeks?

If you have no medical background then you shouldn't be making medical opinions.

Sounds like you’ve got a bad case of Australian Measles with posts like that.

Oh, come on...

He's just basing his opinion on what happened to himself. Surely it must be correct...
