This post was lifted out of the FA thread. Great shame to have it buried in there, and it is worthy of kicking off the injury thread for the new season.
If somebody can post tumble weeds in this thread every week or so, then that would be grand

The Pies were burdened by a long casualty list for much of the 2016 season but, barring further setbacks, should be in reasonable shape by round one. Jamie Elliott missed the entire season with a complex pars defect in his lower spine but is expected to be back in full training around Christmas. Ben Reid had surgery to repair the posterior cruciate ligament in a knee – an injury he carried from round four until round 20 – and should complete a significant chunk of the pre-season. Alex Fasolo and Tim Broomhead, both of whom underwent shoulder operations, will likely be held back until the new year. Taylor Adams finished the season with an ankle injury and was treated for a hip complaint, while Tyson Goldsack and James Aish underwent hip surgery, with all three tipped to do plenty of work pre-Christmas. The same goes for Tom Langdon, whose knee went under the knife. Unlucky Matt Scharenberg, following his second knee reconstruction, possibly could have played late in the 2016 season but the Pies decided to give him a full pre-season before he makes an on-field return. He is ahead of fellow knee victim Jackson Ramsay, who went down in April and later travelled to America with a rehabilitation specialist Chris Howley. Ben Sinclair will also be hoping to find peace of mind after this year suffering four bouts of concussion. - Ben Collins
Rule them out for round one: None
