Injuries

Seems like central midfield is a real issue at the moment. Fingers crossed Whitfield and Vincent are OK and we really need Andrews and Hall back. CLE 2 weeks away I have heard which would be welcome, but will take time to have him at full fitness and quality.

Do we recall Ryan Dickson, not sure if we are able to? Man of the match for Truro yesterday.

Current situation of the squad:

Available

GK Shaun MacDonald
GK Lucas Covolan Cavagnari

DF Ben Wynter
DF Kyle Cameron
DF Jean-Yves Koué Niate
DF Joe Lewis (on loan from Swansea City)
DF Robbie Cundy (on loan from Bristol City)
DF Ramarni Medford-Smith (on loan from Reading)

MF Matt Buse
MF Kalvin Lumbombo Kalala

FW Manny Duku
FW Ruairi Keating
FW Saikou Janneh (on loan from Bristol City)
FW Jamie Reid

---------

Injured short term (I think)
MF Jake Andrews
MF Asa Hall
MF Ben Whitfield
MF Frank Vincent (on loan from A.F.C. Bournemouth)
MF Connor Lemonheigh-Evans (on loan from Bristol City)

--------------

Injured longer term (I think)
FW Opi Edwards (on loan from Bristol City)

MF Armani Little

------------

Is it at all possible that the way we train or the lack of top notch after injury care is in some way responsible for our lengthy and persistent injury list.
I recall that Man city had a similar problem two seasons ago because they always had high impact full on training and having reviewed the injuries they changed everything about their training regime and reduced their injuries massively.
Midfield has to be the most dynamic of positions in the team, they are skill based, they do not always need the same regime as other players, Andrews latest injury was caused by one of his own team mates in a contact session. Edwards was electric in pre season but then picked up a series of niggling injuries, obviously in training, Hall recovering from his broken toe then goes and gets a groin strain in training, Reid has a bunion which if true is a deformity of the big toe maybe requiring corrective surgery, If he has one. then he has my sympathy, my brother had one and he hobbled for months, no wonder he doesn't feel like running some games.
Logic dictates our poor run of injuries cannot all be attributable to bad luck.

Judging by TUFC Insta Andrews, Whitfield, Vincent all seem to training with the team. As well as Ryan Dickson, although he’s probably still training full time and going down their for match days.

According to Gary Johnson at today's press call we will gain one and lose one for Saturday.

My guess and it is a guess is Gary would rather keep Chorley guessing so I am not going to speculate on who might be coming back.

I do not think it is any secret that Joe Lewis is back from international duty therefore it is not a giant leap to assume one of the two remaining midfielders is unfit.

Listening to Gary Johnson’s press call the question asked was regarding injuries. I think that Jake Andrews will be back and either Frankie Vincent or Ben Whitfield will miss out?

Hammdog2601 · Post by **Hammdog2601** » 22 Nov 2019, 13:35

Whitfield is the one missing out, If that’s the case Jake and Kalala start

Nothing changes me then?

Does anyone know the situation with Dickson? Once the first month is up can he be recalled?

culmstockgull · Post by **culmstockgull** » 27 Nov 2019, 17:19

My question would be do we need him, by the time the month is up one maybe two of our first choice midfielders should be back, personally I would have him in the side tomorrow, he has experience, something we are desperately missing. I am not sure Johnson fancies him that much because he was a bench warmer even before the loan players came in.

Thought Dickson spent most time on the treatment table than sitting on the bench.

Vincent supposedly out 4 weeks with ankle injury

Any news on Reid yet? So much speculation
