Has there been any announcement yet? I’ve not seen anything.
According to today’s Argus Dunk injury is not as bad as feared and he will be out for a few weeks but Andone groin niggle continues. Jose should be back in training the week after next. Bruno to resume training soon.
If I had a pound for every time Chris said someone was 'very close'....
Current status :
Dunk [ankle] - "“At the moment it doesn’t look like [a long time out], so that’s a positive.
“It’s certainly not as bad as it might have been. How long we don’t know but we are probably talking weeks" (Tuesday August 22)
Bruno [hamstring] - Argus : "likely to resume training next week" (week beginning Aug 26)
Andone [groin] - out for Man U - "unclear" when he will resume training.
Izquierdo [knee] - "making good progress...Albion hope he will return to training week after next" (week beginning Sept 2nd)

The Andone one seems odd. Sounds like the type of injury that could go on forever.
In Chris's world "very close" means being able to stand on the touchline and watch training [propped up on crutches or with the help of two burly physios]. Basically, unless they are in a coma, they can be "very close to training with the rest of the team"!
I thought Jose was already meant to be back in training...
The week after next doesn't sound good. Sounds like he's had a set back.
Duffy, Locadia, Murray, have all returned from injuries this pre-season/season earlier than expected.
I guess my point is that what Chris tells the media bares no resemblance to reality (and rightly so). Our opposition should be guessing who we'll play right up to the last possible moment.
I think you'll find that the entire point of this thread is to show just how much of what Chris tells the media bears close resemblance to reality, or I might just have mistaken the OP's intentions.
That is what the thread is for, but it might just show the opposite.I think you'll find that the entire point of this thread is to show just how much of what Chris tells the media bears close resemblance to reality, or I might just have mistaken the OP's intentions.
