Are our medical team miracle workers?

[Jimpav]

Or do the forecast players returning from injury on a
worst case scenario?

For example when Aj dislocated his collar bone against Perm he was supposed to be out for months but was back within 3 weeks.

Same with BZ when he got injured recently but returned to the team to face Spurs a few weeks later.

Now there is talk that Dempsey could be back in 4 weeks, where it was feared that he was out for the season.

Do you the think "under promise and over deliver" or have Woy and his team upped the fitness of the players to an extent that recovery time is much quicker?

Lets not forget that these people are the same that gave Jari Litmanen a clean bill of health and decided that John Carew's knees were too knackered for any football 5 years ago

the "out for the season" on Dempsey was a "fear" and it was before the examination. If he's coming back in April, that's pretty much what they said shortly after the results of the evaluation were known -- several weeks ago.


And, Mr. Finn, there was never anything wrong with Litmanen's knees -- aside from the fact that they were on the body of a player who was past his Prem sell-by date. You'll remember that he regularly turned out for Finland despite being "unable to be picked for the squad."

That  :(Jari transfer reeks of Woy doing an old mate a favor to me.

Roys welcome to do all the favours he wants in my book as long as he stays and keeps working wonders

You're right about the Finland thing.

I think every physio in the Prem should have a Finland home jersey in their bag of tricks. Forget about ice and sniffing salts, all he would need is to pull the Finland shirt over the injured player and all injuries would magically disappear
