Injury watch 2024/25

[Sutekh]

Add Smith (big foot) and probably WiFi (hip) to the list.

Any news on Dorsett? Thought he was back around now?

Any news on Dorsett? Thought he was back around now?

And Abrefa, would be nice if the journos asked now and then....and how is Yiadom's rehab going??

Mbengue could be added to the list as was subbed off late and was clearly injured, Knibbs looked like he was struggling at the end too following an earlier knock.

Dorsett out for at least a couple more weeks, could be after international break I guess

Disaster, severely limits our options.

From the STAR meeting:

Abrefa has a knee ligament injury and is back Dec/Jan, taking it slowly but no surgery was needed.

Yiadom - still on track for Dec/Jan return

[Snowflake Royal]

Damn. What's the betting Abrefa gets some surgery for Xmas?

[RG30]

Having attended the said event I didn’t get the impression surgery was imminent.

Not bothered, he'll probably leave in January anyway.

Yiadom - still on track for Dec/Jan return

Both being Dec/Jan suggests to me, it would be late December they'd be back at the earliest.

Smith & Dean back for weekend

[Sutekh]

Dorsett reportedly out for 4 weeks with yet another injury - so maybe back for the Stockport game in January.

[Snowflake Royal]

He's not looked right this season. Several times he's trotted towards a ball when he should be sprinting and been beaten to it by someone who started yards behind him.

Thought he had big promise, but between that and all these niggling injuries, not sure he'll make it.

I wouldn't say he's been more than OK this season. But then he is out of position.

From training photos on club OS:

Abrefa back in full training
Yiadom - outside on grass
No sign that I can see of Mbengue or Elliott in photos
