Carney Chukwuemeka

[hawkster]

It's every time our player picks up a knock...its a long term injury. Been like this for 2 seasons now.

If you think it's a coincidence that's up to you

I blame the Government and The Prem League obvs an agenda against us

6 weeks of which 2 weeks are international break. So we miss him for 4-6 games ?

 

[cfr95]

6 weeks isn't too bad. I feared for much worse.

If this is in fact correct, he shouldn't miss too many games, none against what you'd call top opposition anyway... Plus there's an international break after the game against Forest on Sept 2nd, and I believe another one after the game against Burnley on Oct 7th,.

Even allowing an extra week or two, the Arsenal game on October 21st could be where he makes a comeback. That game is the start of a pretty tough looking run, could be a huge boost to have him back for it.

Games between now and October 3rd:
Luton (H)
Wimbledon (H) (EFL CUP)
Forest (H)
Bournemouth (A)
Villa (H)
Fulham (A)

You would hope even without a "10", we'll be able to win most of those.

We have Burnley (A) on Oct 7, followed by another 2 week break from league games (I'm guessing that's another international break). If he can get back to full training for that 2nd break hopefully he can continue where he left off in late October.

What do you suggest the club does about a player's boot catching in the pitch? Or a combination of a substandard pitch and a heavy oppo challenge? Or an oppo player landing with their full weight on top of an outstretched leg? That's Carney, Nkunku and Broja.

Keep 'em on the bench, I say! Only field the players we don't need!

This might work.

If you expect that sort of hyperbole to be taken seriously ... etc ...

Chillicon doesn't seem to think he'll be out long, which is encouraging news.

 

[ssur]

6 weeks isn't terrible. I feared the worst. Frustrating we keep getting hit by injuries though! 

 

[General]

If it wasn’t for bad luck club wouldn’t have any luck at all, 6 weeks usually means 2-3 months and just when he started to feature

Fingers crossed he will return quickly and without any recurrence of the injury. I feel like he is going to be an important player for us in the years ahead.

If we are dead set on sticking with a 10 play Gallagher or Enzo there till Carney is back.

Guess we were born under a bad sign...

Tricky Mykky can also play 10.

The physios allowed him to hobble off the pitch without a stretcher, so it seems unlikely it's a cruciate ligament injury.

He also seemed to initially injure it whilst overstretching and picking up that yellow but carried on playing for a while after, which wouldn't be possible to do with a cruciate injury.

I get to act like I'm really smart and knowledgeable about injuries now.

FIFA and UEFA don't give a sh*t. You have UEFA extending the Euro's, the Champions League and adding the Conference League into the calendar. Then you have FIFA extending the World Cup and creating the Club World Cup. Something has to give, this is too much football.

Yup. Player welfare is their least concern.

Its disgusting how over worked players are now, especially the young lads. There was an international under 19`s ( I think) tournament that was still going on in July, many players were from first team club squads, how is that right.

Unfortunately when you do get a top player come out and condemn it like KDB did all they get back is "well you get paid loads, it shouldn't bother you" and other such moronic things.

You missed out Wenger wanting a world cup every 2 years, and a euro`s every 2 year, so basically a full on international tournament every single off season, which is farcical.
