Can we send him back to Freiburg?

Yes.

If we get relegated.

Rule of thumb: about a month for a hernia op/recovery/training. He should be good to go over the Christmas period with 20 minutes or half an hour here and there.

Some players recover a lot quicker. Depends on the individual, I suppose.

Whose rule of thumb is that Dr Dave? If Moyes played him now and he broke down again, you be using it as a stick to beat Moyes with.

Googling it and most places seem to suggest 6-12 week recovery from a hernia op even for professional footballers

Thank god we waited until the end of the window to avoid desperate panic buys.

There are different types of hernia injuries. Inguinal hernia is most common and takes 4-5 weeks for full recovery.

That's or a normal person who has no dedicated medical follow up with physio experts and all their resources, btw.

What type of hernia injury did he have? As it seems more likely to be a sports hernia. Which is longer recovery.

Mate Dave's thumbs outweigh all medical opinions throughout the World, just forget it.

 

[Roger Milla]

He was out for about 6 weeks with a "knock". I fully expect him to come back from a hernia op in 2028

I'll be very surprised if Moyes in his press conference tomorrow doesn't say he may be included in the match day squad for Arsenal or is making progress and could be in contention for the upcoming Christmas games.

…..he said something along the lines of ‘he was on the grass and much further on than Branthwaite’ ahead of the Chelsea game, so you’d think he wouldn’t be too far off being involved.

Yep.

That's my reading too mate.

Defo under consideration for the Christmas games and almost certainly will be in the match day squad and probably team for that glut of home games just into the new year.

We I haven't seen enough of him to form an opinion if he'll be any good if he does start

We do just need bodies in midfield at the moment though. Gueye is at AFCON, I don't know how long Dewsbury-Hall will be out for either.

So really, we only have Garner and Irregbhunam in there.

 

[Zatara]

How do we request proof of life?

Decided to go back in this thread, which i never do. After trying to get past the puns, you start to see the increasing flow of posts regarding a first team, future hero, and just massive influction of what a signing we've got after a few minutes cameo.

Now it's picked up quite a rapid pace of an awful signing, waste of money on a crocked player. What were we doing when scouting this lad..

This is Everton fans for you.
