Did I read that Garcia has a cast on his arm at training - I wonder why he hasnt been added to the injury list?

2-3 weeks.Anyone got a timeline on Garcia’s return?
You want him to last 5 minutes again?Pou one week away. Pls just bring him in. Need some possitivity
I think track watchers have been noting Pou has been doing full training for a couple of weeks now. Correct me if wrong though.Some good news here, but not good with regards to Doug, if that’s correct.

Would be great to get Hugo back.
If Pou is only just re-joining full training this week surely he comes back via Sandy.
Im sure everyone recalls Collard being subbed out last weekend and then getting around on crutches. I just had a look at this weeks injury link and he is listed as a 'shin contusion'. WTF a bruised shin and he cant walk and carries on like he has been shot. Then you have players like Hugo Garcia who played out a game with a broken wrist a couple of games prior.
Obviously some players/people simply cant cope with any degree of pain or discomfort.

I wouldn't jump to those conclusions to be honest mate.
Easy mate, how do you know the crutches were not precautionary.Im sure everyone recalls Collard being subbed out last weekend and then getting around on crutches.

Hugo wasn’t even listed on the injury list after his injury and the article just mentioned a sore hand.
So for all you know, Collard could have a fractured ankle based on our previous injury reports before you start inferring he’s soft and can’t deal with pain or discomfort.
My point was that Hugo’s fracture didn’t even get a mention on the injury list. He was named the next week and a late withdrawal. We all know the updates with Max King all year as well. So I’m saying I wouldn’t take too much confidence in what the club says on the injury list.Hugo had a hair line fracture and had a cast on his arm.
Lance had a sore shin, not even a corky.
It could easily be a corkie, which players sometimes get up for next week, sometimes don't.Possiby but he was hobbling around like a lame race horse.....![]()
Leg contusion.It could easily be a corkie, which players sometimes get up for next week, sometimes don't.
You are jumping the gun massively here.
He is listed as a test what other conclusions can there be?
