Injury watch 2022/23

[Nameless]

Tinfoil Conspiracy alert.


Could our horrendous inuury record over the last couple of years all be an insurance con?

Insuring players against injury to help cover wages seems like it might be both sensible and plausible in the industry.

Chances of us faking injuries to claim on the insurance to help cover our ludicrous wage spending?

Robbing Peter to pay Paul in that it would surely dramatically increase our premiums, but to some extent that's a deferred cost.

Just a random idea.

I think a player has to retire from the game in order to be able to claim on insurance. Pretty sure you can’t insure (at least for any kind of sensible premium) for temporary injury.
Even insurance against career ending injury is so expensive (given the large number of claims and the likely size of those claims) that I believe many clubs don’t take it out and neither do individual players.
I think there was a discussion about this on the Price of Football podcast ages ago and they did the sums on cost of premiums vs self insuring by clubs.

Insurance pays out to a club on a injury suffered on international duty so not beyond the realms of impossibility there could be policies available with payouts if a star left back got a broken leg or something.

Sarr has a calf injury and surprise surprise Dann has done his hamstring.

Dann just needs to fukk off. A complete waste of a place in the squad
Hopefully Sarr will be available on Sunday

I don`t know what genius made the decision to keep him but let Morrison go, but he needs to fukk off out of our club.

Completely agree about Dann. He’s just been a waste of money and why on earth we gave him an additional one year contract is beyond me.

Ridiculous from Dann

Morrison should have been released as well though. Not up to this level now

36 year old ponderous defender with known fitness issues in not being able to get fit shocker.

Morro was at worst mixed last season. Not a regular by any stretch these days, but would have been a useful squad option.

[YorkshireRoyal99]

I think Dann is just overall a better player/defender than Morrison, but obviously doesn't mean jack all when you can't get him in the squad, let alone on the field.

Different insurance though. That is a country FA having to cover the players they borrow from their employers. You can obviously insure anything if you pay a high enough premium

Dann should give his salary back, what a waste of junk. Fcuking useless sick note pcunt.

What an obnoxious post.

According to the Chronicle it is expected to be more than 2 months before Naby Sarr is back from a calf injury. So that may well mean Christmas before we see him again given the Qatar stupidity and getting back to some sort of match fitness.

Jesus wept. never fukking ending, now down to the bare bones at CB.

Yep three including Moore out for months. Although riches compared to last season with TMac, Holmes and Hutchinson available. We didn’t have a single fit centre back at one stage last season.

Not sure this is right...

According to Chronicle reporter James Earnshaw on Twitter:

I’m hearing Naby Sarr’s scan showed a worse injury than first feared and he is ruled out of Sunday’s clash against Stoke. Hopeful to have him back for Watford

https://www.readingchronicle.co.uk/news ... ity-visit/

The Chronicle piece is tricky to read due to all the adverts but I think the two months refers to Scott Dann not Naby Sarr:

The Chronicle understand that the former France Under-21 defender had a scan on Wednesday and is out for longer than hoped.

It is thought that there was hope that he would be fit enough to face the Potters, but scans suggest otherwise.

He joins fellow centre-back Scott Dann on the treatment table after the 35-year-old injured his hamstring while on his way back toward first team contention.

It is expected to be more than two months before he is back near the first team.

Thanks for that, missed the twatter article so hoping that Mr Sarr does indeed resume service v Watford.

Yeah had me worried but they’re referring to Dann who we may as well just write off tbh

[From Despair To Where?]

Back in March, I was chatting to the bloke who did my bathroom and he was telling me that his wife went to school with Scott Dann and was also good mates with Dann's wife. He made a comment along the lines of "He was at Palace last season but has now retired because of injury".

I was not amused.

Nah, we're fine.

Hutchinson, Holmes, McIntyre. Yiadom able to play there with Hoilett or Abrefa covering RWB. We can switch to a back 4 if needed. And there's also Clarke and potentially Abbey in reserve. And I bet Loum could play there.
