While it might not be a good look, if they followed all the correct processes then it's just bad luck. If all the tests were showing they were both fit to return and both players reported no issues then it's a difficult one.
I guess, it just seemed that he was back playing very soon after returning to the squad
Could that statement be any more of a contrast to the old KR ones?! Everything was bad luck back then.
Ordinarily I'd agree, but Browne is a complete crock, and him being injured is not bad luck, it's the norm.
I think it’s quite common for players to pick up injuries in other areas when they come back from long spells out, it’s to do with the body becoming unbalanced and subconsciously people overcompensate to protect the injured area and change gait etc. Sometimes a lot of gym work on a certain area, muscle or group of muscles can lead to another area being neglected or becoming proportionally weaker as well.
A good gym routine would have worked on the other parts of the body at the same time as the injured section, I'd be shocked if his rehab didn't work on symmetry. There would have been monitoring during training also to assess any overcompensations and gait changes. The problem, however, is until you load the muscles at a high level (such as in a game), you are never really sure what is going to happen.
Good luck with that, both struggle to score goals, harsh but true
It's about redeploying our resources to fill gaps - Harris hasn't worked out as centre forward but might be effective on the right. We could play Bodin as cf if you're unwilling to risk the youth.
As it's quite common, I'd have thought our backroom team would be well aware of the risk.
Well, Des doesn’t seem entirely happy with them, or the situation, by his comments…
To be fair, who can blame him?
