2025/26 Jarrad Branthwaite

[alan ball]

Jarrad Branthwaite has had another setback with his hamstring injury.
He's having surgery tomorrow.
He's facing an extended period out of the side.

 

[Victus]

official then, defo should have sold him when we could have.

 

[DanEFC92]

Not the best news.

It's somewhere in the middle I think. It obviously doesn't mean he's finished but it's potentially a lot more than just disappointing. If (and i'm aware it's a big if) talk of 4 months is accurate then we're talking about him pretty much missing the entire season. That's serious stuff, especially off the back of him missing a decent chunk of last season and needing surgery aswell. It's certainly not a case of throwing him on the scrap heap but we probably do have to consider the possibility that this could be a much bigger deal than just just being a bit of a short term disappointment.

Very well put, which is basically where I was coming from. You however articulated far better than I did!

Should have sold him.

Do you reckon we should have sold him?

 

[Parker]

Whats the point in paying for the sports science and medical team if they give him the go ahead just for him to fall apart again after 2 training sessions?

We've always got to have a player in the squad who ends up like this. Now Calvert-Lewins gone, i guess its Branthwaite's turn.

Absolutely useless management from the club that.

I don't think so...... he will come back stronger, and will still be an Everton player next season!

 

[Titus Bramble]

What a mare, was made up to have him back in training. Hopefully this surgery sorts this issue out once and for all.

 

[MikeH72]

Won’t see him this season imo. Did we have an insurance policy on that new contract?

Even with hindsight you are still wrong

 

[Parker]

He got this injury at the arse end of last season.

5 months later. Hes tweaked it again at least twice and is only now getting surgery.

Absolute clown season.

 

[Paul Rideout]

Got to be playing JoB in the middle of the back, we’re way too leaky how we’re set up right now

 

[DualityNSNO]

It's mandatory for Prem players IIRC, but I hope you're wrong like

 

[Drago]

He probably should've just had surgery in the first place, by the sounds of it.

This season had a lot of potential but feels like we're just going to go through the motions now and just end up finishing around the same place as last season. Too many poor signings in the Summer and AFCON on the horizon taking 2 of our best players...
