LuaLua unavailable for tomorrow (merged)

[Bridcutt]

Albion boss Oscar Garcia has been hit by another major injury blow.

Winger Kazenga LuaLua is out of tomorrow's trip to Derby County with a hamstring injury, The Argus can reveal.

LuaLua, outstanding in last week's home win against Birmingham, did not travel with the rest of the squad to the East Midlands today.

The problem is only minor but it is another setback for Oscar, who has been besieged by injuries to key players since taking charge at the start of the season.

He lost key midfielder Andrew Crofts against Birmingham to a ruptured cruciate knee ligament which has ruled the Welsh international out for six months.

Lua Lua injured

Hamstring. We're struggling now

 

[glasfryn]

maybe a good chance for Solly March then

 

[Beach Hut]

Oh well, Spanish Dave or Orlandi to be the lone winger then

 

[Sergei's Celebration]

If we do get anywhere near the playoffs this year it'll be a small miracle with all the injuries we have had.

 

[Tony Le Mesmer]

Unbelievable why our wingers are so patheticly weak they pick a tiny knock and that's it. Regularly

Highlights the need to get Conway back IMO

Joke season .... How are we 6th

The words 'major injury blow' along with 'The problem is only minor' are an interesting contradiction in terms.

 

[algie]

We really do have two injury prone wingers. We have to improve in this department during the window.

 

[Seagulls1984]

Right time to sign some wingers who can stay fit for 90% of a season, Buckley and lua lua are just a waste of time if never fit.

You sometimes feel that the founding fathers of BHAFC must have run over several black cats in their horse drawn carriages/imported Model T Fords!

 

[severnside gull]

Orlandi isnt really fit - you just know if he starts his injury will flare-up. March and JFC must both be in with a chance of starting but against a very fluid and mobile midfield you have to think we will struggle.

not really -- it's a minor injury that won't keep him out for long, but it will potentially have a major effect on the team tomorrow, given the other injuries

I assume you're a fully qualified and certified physiotherapist?

 

[Eksman]

We need players that don't get injured constantly, yeah he's great when he plays but whenever I see him get knocked I think "oh great here we go" we simply cannot continue like this

 

[vulture]

Gipsy cursed calmer

 

[Commander]

FFS, he was really starting to come good as well. Has to be a great chance for March now.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Hopefully it means we can get Orlandi back in the team
