Antolin Alcaraz

not really all that surprised to be honest, like baines left foot said he missed 6 months and came back and played 3 games, shouldve been more gradual but with distin and jags banged up it was necessary

There's probably a potential he's hoing to do a hamstring or something. Fatigue increases this statistically.

He's out as a precaution probably from a scan or something.

Unfortunately some on here don't think. Two weeks now or 4 weeks with a strain.

After 6 months martinez thinks two weeks is better for the player and team.

Fair enough!

Going off the Everton article I have him down to step in against Stevenage, so no change to what I expect anyway.

What on earth's wrong with him?
His current "injury" makes it sound like he was just too knackered after playing 3 games.

 

[boris]

I hope he plays tonight, him and Jagielka please.

 

[Moomin]

I hope he plays tonight, him and Jagielka please.

He is injured.

 

[riddick]

So what is the deal with him? He played three games, has had two weeks off. Is he going to play anytime soon?

Out for another month.

Everton's Antolin Alcaraz suffers fresh injury setback

ANTOLIN ALCARAZ has suffered a new blow in his injury-plagued season at Everton after being ruled out for up to a month.

The Paraguay defender is hampered by muscle fatigue and faces another spell on the sidelines.

Alcaraz, 31, rushed back from a three-game absence due to the same problem to play in the Merseyside derby but was then absent for the win over Aston Villa last Saturday.

He has made just four appearances since arriving at Everton on a free transfer in the summer having required a hernia operation

What a waste of wages this fella is, 2 games then is out a month

 

[Khalekan]

We all sports scientists now are we?

FFS. He's played 3 games consecutively after 6 months on the sidelines.

Honestly, reading some of these posts and the comments on the OS Facebook, there's a lot more idiot Everton fans than I thought there was.

Correct.

And most of the buggers post on here.

wonder can we cancel his contract in the summer

 

[Ashtonian]

I am not being funny but the guy is 31, is now into his second season where he is injury plagued and now it is because his muscles are tired?!

How often do you actually see players who are out for a while getitng this syndrome? Are we just to accept that an inury that (personally) we had never heard of before Alcaraz arrived at the club as normal? The guy is clearly going to spend his final years on a decent wage here with Gibbo in the medical room.

So realistically that is another player out for the season then! if he has muscle fatigue again imagine what he will be like after another month of not playing? One game in and one month off.

He's like a Tampax.


In for a week.....out for a month

 

[tim cahill]

Easy to say in hindsight but Kone and alcaraz have both been poor signings by Martinez. He couldn't have seen the Kone injury coming but alcaraz was like this last year. And neither of them have been great when they have played .

 

[Pabbers]

Maybe, just maybe we dont pay him THAT much, and is on some sort of pay/play contract.
