Mid Sussex Royal jonnyroyal1871 Brogue Got another big injury at the beginning of the week. Career over
That's awful. After a fairly lengthy period of fitness, pre-season with Pompey, and then looking head and shoulders above with us at 21 level. Really feel for the guy. BTW - do you know why Paudie is so far behind? Do you know how close he is?
I don't think Hunt has any idea how close Paudie is if I'm honest.
Gets injured in training the day before the first game.....Hunt says 50/50 for following week.
Misses that game - then its 2-3 weeks
Last week he's back "on the grass " which as I said on another thread Ben Elliott was in Jan and missed the remainder of the season
I can't see him returning this side of the next international break
Can't tell you why, but for me, I consider anyone 'back on the grass' at least 2 weeks away, probably 2 - 4, assuming no set backs.
I take 'back on the grass' to mean joining in with training, rather than purely gym and recovery work. Probably starting with light work, avoiding the more competitive aspects. And I'd say you want someone to have been in full training for preferably about a week before you give them a sub appearance, let alone a start. Obviously each player and injury will progress differently, with different durations at the different stages, and some players just bounce back quickly.
