Wilson and Solomon Injuries

[Chi_FFC]

At his Wolves pre-match press conference today, Silva gave an update on the injuries to Solomon and Wilson. He suggested that Wilson could be out from six to eight weeks. As for Solomon, he's going to be having surgery after which they'd have a better idea of how long he'd be out but Silva did say that it's likely to be longer than Wilson.

Just to add to this, Silva said long term for Solomon as well as Wilson but then went on to say he classifies a 6-8 week injury as long term so it's not quite as dramatic as it sounds, albeit Solomon is probably out until November. Extract from his press conference today;

We have to see week by week," he said of Wilson. "It doesn't look as long as Manor Solomon. It could be six to eight weeks, which would be a long-term injury for us. We are talking many games without two players to play."

Total disaster for Wilson to miss the WC

Solomon - didn't sound like he will be back until after WC

Bloody unlucky

Wilson will be back in 8 weeks at the latest, that is the first week of October and if its 6 weeks then you're looking at mid-late September so no reason why he doesn't make the WC squad. Solomon will be around mid-late October

Sounds very bad for us, immediately downgraded our wing options and a lot is riding on the new players coming in, plus Reid and Kebano performing at their top level.

Bad luck for us, but especially for these two young men.

It must be a great life to be a top notch pro footballer, but that life can occasionally serve up an unexpected setback.
Hope their WC hopes remain intact.

What kind of injury? And what match was he playing, on the day AFTER the Liverpool game?

I think a miniscus tear
We played another behind closed doors match against Chelsea. It was for players who needed match fitness

[H4usuallysitting]

One of the new recruits had to have an injury - them's the rules

[FFC In Oz]

Makes the prospective Kluivert signing all the more important.

With Cav frozen out what are our wide options if (God forbid) BDR or Kebano were to go down?

Solomon has chose the trimming meniscus surgery type which allows a much faster recovery. Good news.

Expecting him to bounce back faster than expected and show how lethal he can be. It's hard for me to see us bringing a replacement at the same quality level.

Hopefully Wilson returns within 6 weeks as well.

Can't wait to see how we perform with a complete squad under MS.

Neither of these things are true and no one has said anything like this, not sure why you would pretend this is true.

I love that average recovery time of 57.5 days. what's the .5 about - does it mean he cant start walking until 12 noon that day? fecking comical!

You are aware of how maths works to obtain an average?

Yeah and I bet he's also heard about rounding to the nearest whole number and even spurious accuracy.  Of course 57.5 is an arithmetic average but it's also a pretty sill concept you surely must agree?

A little more clarity on the timeline for Solomon's return from Peter Rutzler.

Yikes

What a stupid decision to have him play in a meaningless behind-the-scenes friendly the day after a match day. He'd been training for weeks, just give him 20-30 minute cameos like he had and build him up that way. All that chat about needing players to bed for weeks just seems overboard to me. He came on and immediately sent Mitro through with a great pass which led to the penalty.

Ah well, done now.
What a shame, he really seems a talent and thats a huge amount of time to miss him for.

Yep. I know people will say who are we to say it was silly, but when stuff like this happens, how can you not question it. Yes it could happen at anytime and in any game, but you only increase those odds playing in games as meaningless as this a day after coming on for the first team. So gutted about this.

Well I guess Silva didn't think it was meaningless and it was needed. He came on for what 20 minutes on Saturday, hardly a good run out.

If he done on the training pitch we would be saying  that's just bad luck.
