Crouch out for a month

I think Clinton Grybas' reaction to the press release saying Crouch's injuries were between him and his doctors and that he would not appear on the injury list because he didn't want to was spot in - it's a total load of garbage spinning out that tripe and it just makes it all seem utterly stupid actions in response to a very normal issue that affects footballers.

That post is a place where subclauses go to die.

In-grown toe nail perhaps?

I guess what he says is true if he goes to the doctor he is a normal human being and doesnt have to announce it to the world! He has enough media coverage as it is with the strak end and everything!
Good luck to him and he will be back better than ever!

Yet one can assume he goes to the CLUB doctor in the first place and now he's happy to publicise the fact that he's injured, just not what is injured. If he went "yep me shoulder's stuffed but we're working on it" it'd be done, dusted and nobody would care anymore, but all this secrecy makes it look ridiculous and is just going to keep interest in it at a higher level.

If anybody believes that the club don't know what his injury is, they're kidding themselves. I have no idea why you wouldn't want to be put on the injury list, or why the club would allow it. Sounds a wee bit childish to me.

Maybe Doyle will catch on to the idea and we will never see him on the injury list again.

exactly. and when he comes back to play it will be tested thoroughly by the opposition. Possibly even moreso than if not kept secret.

Personally I don't care that much but I am curious as to what is wrong with him and even more puzzled as to why he is so precious about it.

Presumably injury lists are for the benefit of the club's supporters so the club should have an obligation to ensure its injury lists are up to date and accurate.

I know accuracy has never been a characteristic of the Swans injury list but to preserve some sort of integrity Crouch should be on there.

It could well be a religious choice.

He maintains that his injury is private between himself and his doctor but it's stopped him playing at his optimum.

Hemorrhoids.

ME?? Tight with Crouchy? I doubt he will tell me anything anyway. I respect his wishes to keep his injuries to himself and all may be revealed in due time when Crouch himself has had time to deal with it. I would imagine this is a hard time for Jared as he hasnt really had to deal with an injury that kept him on the sidelines.
