With me it was the hamstring. Had a hamstring graft. Went to pick up a ball then POP. Tore my hamstring.

In 1996 I was hit by a drunk driver. My Femur was shattered and I suffered what they called a corkscrew fracture.

The operation to repair involved stabilisation by way of a dynamic hip screw. The repair was so fragile that I was not able to weigh bear for six months.

About 3 months in I slipped whilst going up the stairs grounding my foot sent a shock up through my leg and ultimately resulted in further corrective surgery.

Ok it’s not quite what is being talked about but repairing by way of surgery does leave you open to further injuries and sometimes it’s impossible to not expose the original injury to further trauma.

I had to give away my 1997 because I was still on crutches( well sell it) Cup final ticket the only saving grace I had a double bet to win 2-0 and Robbi to score . !

You win: this is a bigger ouch than the $4,000 vet bill 😖

Ruled out until March. Another Lavia.

Don't care, never hear of him before we were linked and never seen him play. Another one for the trash pile.

Should have kept KDH.

Along the theme of don't care. I don't care if Lavia is also out Moi and Enzo need rests so James alongside Santos and someone else in the 10 vs Wolves please.

Welcome back I suppose.

Good news. He can join Guiu and Josh in the quest for most arse splinters !

If both he and Lavia can stay fit, they ought to get some games the rest of the season. Caicedo has looked like he could do with a rest recently.

The theory is good, but the medical team don't seem to have had much to say about running Caicedo into the ground this season, and the same for Fernandez and Cucurella (who they have already now broken of course). So I expect that Caicedo will continue to play, with Essugo on the bench, possibly to get 5 minutes at the end of a game if we need to bring on an inexperienced midfielder to hold on to a one goal lead !

Is he capable of being fit? Nope not yet, when he is he can earn his place in the side. Stay fit and challenge... until then, another player who'll never see the first team and is a flippable asset. See ya whatever your name is.

Thought he played well when he came on especially considering it's his first game since August, came on and grabbed 2 assists. First one especially was quality:

There's a player in there, needs to quickly get fit.

If only we had a medical team to tell us who and when people should play……. Oops. Can we now put this bo**ocks to bed……. Oh but the stats say?

If he and Lavia can stay fit we will have brilliant options for central midfield.

I like what I’ve seen from him so far however briefly.

Is he injured again? Doesn’t seem to have been involved in the last couple of squads, unless I’m mistaken.
