Caused by growing, sounds like he’s had a growth spurt and his body is adapting to that and if he trains at the intensity we do it will cause injuries.
Gerrard had a similar issue.
can't remember now but I don't think he was out for anything like this long?
I think his happened before he was playing at senior level.
IIRC the club sent him to a specialist in France, after he was well established in the 1st team, to address growth-related issues.
Ooh really? So yeah, definitely not as long term as this has been - perhaps they are that little bit more careful with players now.
I think I have it right but not 100% sure ... someone else maybe can confirm either way.
duelling googles
Duelgles...Or Boogles, if two Everton supporters are involved...
So, at 57 is there still hope for me (currently 5ft 6)?
He's liked a comment under that which says “for the love of god please tell me you’re almost fit”
Growth spurt? Is he taller now?
He'll win the league in the next 3 years. Quote me on that.Quote from: Draex on December 24, 2014, 08:42:37 amQuote me on this, but come next season he'll be great for us. Just needs to remove the walking headless chicken next to him

he wears fucking awful clothes. must be mates with calvert lewin or tom davies.endo needs to put his arm round his shoulder, and mildly bully the kid into dressing well like him instead
Do you think so? There was a picture of him walking into training just before his injury and I personally don’t think I’ve seen a footballer dressed so well. What I admire about his style is that it feels uniquely his own, and if I was earning that sort of money, I would love to think that I’d be dressing myself in such a way. Alas, I am skint.
If I was fit as an elite footballer, I wouldnt dress like I'm trying to hide a 40 pounds of extra weight. Alas, I have a dad body
Well he looked in fantastic shape in the footage on Sunday. Really grown and filled out. will be real beast when back
Quansah, Bradley, Clark, McConell, Danns and Koumas have made their mark this season. And there are Chambers and Scanlon too. Yet Bajcetic is and hopefully still is (after his injury issue) the crown jewel of our academy gems.Get well soon Stefan!
Hope he’s watching Endo, got a fight on his hands now.
It means he can learn out of the spotlight without the need to rush his development.
100% can't wait to see more of him though, I get Bradley and Quansah have done exceptionally well but Bajcetic had that wow factor from minute one the likes I saw with Trent etc.
He looks ready for first team football but this little break will do him a lot of good just to know how to deal with it and to see that he cannot take his initial success for granted. Last season for a period he was our best player and great that it was that we had such a talent, it also worries you if a 17 year old can become the best in a position on your team. I believe Klopp had some of those concerns as well because he'd gotten there too easily and too quickly. Now that the midfield is solid again and more youngsters have made impacts, it levels things up for Stefan to come back and fight for minutes, knowing that he has to be at his best day in day out if he wants to play and that is always a much healthier situation for young players.
Out of curiosity, why do you say the part I underlined - what does age have to do with it?"He can't be best in his position as he's only 17" makes no sense? Having a player that IS seen as the best player in his position should be something to be absolutely made up about - not worried about. That's the whole point of having these players - the ones currently playing have to shows they are better than he is. Don't be worried - be glad mate!
I suspect he probably meant we were shambolically shit in midfield last season,so having a 17-year old as your one savior is not ideal.
