Cheers The way LJ spoke the other day - GON and MT on way (But have missed pre season of course which is never good) Got the impression that we won't be seeing Đurić for a couple of months at least (And again - no pre season so will have to get up to speed if he can) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some kind of lower abdomen/groin injury which if they can't diagnose they obviously can't treat. Could be quite a while......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine the examinations and testing all prospective players undergo is extremely thorough. Maybe this kind of injury was as undiagnosed then as it is now.

Groin injuries are hard to pick up, if they run deep into the muscle it can be near impossible to treat them. I'd put money on that Đurić has torn the tendon in his groin. In which case, he will have to rest up until the scar tissue has formed. Then he can start to slowly reuse the area again, clearing away the tissue. It is an absolute nightmare to go through, very frustrating injury. If that is the case, we will possibly will not see him until end of September, or even later.

Davefevs Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Despite the interview from LJ today stating MD is close (possibly close to 20 minutes fit), it wouldn't surprise me if this was a smokescreen to not make us sound desperate for any striker he might be chasing (loan or perm). I think LJ is starting to think when he opens his mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think LJ is starting to think when he opens his mouth. But he said on Monday to Twentyman that it would 'be a while' or similar words , certainly the indication was 'not imminent' So he's saying today that he is close ? I understand what your suggesting Dave but how does that work ? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week MT was in with a chance if being fit(ish), and MD was way off. Now it's reversed. I have no problems with his contradictions if they are intentional and trying to put clubs off of the scent of our need for a striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
