Our injuries

While I get the joke, Tommy Walsh missed about that many with his avulsion hamstring injury last season

Good point!

AJ had conventional Knee Recon but it didn't take so he did LARS. Then he did his knee in the first round against UWS reserves so this is his third procedure. Hopefully his last. He has only just had surgery because he went to the States on holiday.

THanks Wolfie and that's sort of what I thought. But holiday or not, that's 19 weeks between the injury and the latest LARS. THat seems a lot.

I'm sure there's a good medical reason for it.

Usually if there is swelling and/or inflammation, surgery is delayed. Similarly, any signs of infection (determined by symptoms and/or blood tests)

I wouldn't take any notice of Goodesy training with the off-legs group...I doubt he has completed both main sessions in a week for quite some time now. His training load would be vastly different to most other players.

I seem to recall, earlier in the season, there was mention in one of the club's articles that AJ was given the time to not only give his knee time to settle but also to give him a break to think about what he wanted to do. It must have been so hard mentally to face a reco and rehab all over again after the last time. All the players talk about how hard the 'rehab dungeon' can be.

Maybe they'll wait until the complete round is finished?

Could be.
