Bloody hell. Did he smash up a mirror shop or something?

So be at least a couple of weeks more for Yiadom, probably 3 or 4.

Stickland getting a good go, pending signings then.

Hopefully Jacob can improve as much from Pompey as Abrefa and Burns did. But I worry about our defence with the general lack of mobility outside Abrefa.

Wing was just blurred vision. Should be ok for next weekend

Depends how it gets classed, if the medics say it was an after effect of concussion, he’ll have no chance for next week.

Blurred vision sounds exactly like concussion... or worse.

[Hound]

Could be any number of things though concussion would be the obvious one. May have been heat related, bit of a virus etc

He was playing well before so a slightly odd one

[JedMaxwell]

The blurred vision must be concussion-related, and from experience it's really horrible. It's really quite unnerving, even if it's relatively mild. So Wing may be out for a couple of weeks due to the protocols, which I have no issue with although the timing isn't great.

Really feel for both Yids and Dorsett, it must be so demoralising picking up injuries all the time like that.

Rushesha's disappearance is more mysterious - signed a contract, didn't feature in pre-season, doesn't feature for the Unders, appeared in the Cup game against Portsmouth, disappeared again

He was warming up (along with Dorsett) before the game with Wimbledon, so he's around just not making the squad

Re Osho, Youthhawk don't have him playing in the Spurs game. And as he is over 18 surely he doesn't qualify for U18 this season?

I suspect Rushesha has just missed out on being sub as he cover RB and Midfield and we have other options in those positions. Tough on him as he did well at Pompey. Suspect he will be in the cup team next week.

Latest from Noel:

O'Connor - back on grass but non contact so far. Wouldn't expect him back until late Sept given he's not played this season.
Yiadom - Starting contact training....but can't see him back anytime soon given he missed all pre-season.
Lane - getting there but not ready for 90 mins yet.
WiFi only other injury...assume he's on track to return after the break.

Reported on Twitter that there's still no Paudie or Andy for Barnsley

Yep both back "on the grass" as Ben Elliott was in Jan.

So another 6 months away from playing then

[West F]

Depends on the grade of tear. Grade 3 could well be six months if he requires surgery. Normally a month or two if it is partial tear.
