Andrius Velička, Sam Vokes, George Elokobi, Benik Afobe and now Alfie Mawson. Another for the unfortunate list of season threatening injuries early doors in loan spells at Bristol City!

Didn’t Lewis Dunk also get injured on loan here? Managed only 2 games if I recall.

No, couldn’t get in the team for much of the month he was here.

Seems odd now but lots was in that season..

Dani Rodrigues another. Horrible one as well.

Beat me to it @Gazred. We could probably put together a full 11 of longterm injured loan players - although I can't think of a goalkeeper, but maybe if we include longterm contracted players then we could add Mercer. Go that route may as well throw in Matthews and Brooker as well for a few subs!!

Hope Ashton used his club credit card for the loan fees, then there is a chance we could get a refund from the card provider on the grounds of being "not fit for purpose".

In Joe Williams case, I assume Wigan would not take payment until Williams has played.

Just in an insight for others and obviously we have no idea of what the injury is but If you have under gone significant Knee surgery such as ACL's sometimes they like to do minor arthroscopy to make sure there is no graft or structural damage, even if the injury is not related directly. 

Mrs Downend is secretary to a Consultant Knee Surgeon. 

She say if an arthroscopy then return could be fairly  quick, but ACL recovery much longer - for “normal” patients up to 12 months rehab but pro footballer would be sooner as they are physically fit and have access to pro physics and dedicated rehab.

I am aware of the recovery time for ACL I was merely pointing that we genuinely don't know and having surgery doesn't always mean worse case scenarios; others above were speculating 3 months minimum was more my point just didn't quote them

Yep, I’ve had 4 cartilage ops (2 on each knee) and an ACL.

My first cartilage op I was back playing inside 4 weeks.  That was on the NHS at Winford....that’s how long ago it was (early 90s).

All the others were private and were 6-8 weeks. ACL was very different!  That surgery sorted out cartilage damage done too!

There’s a fair chance Mawson has little cartilage left in his knee anyway.

Wish him the best and for a speedy recovery.

?

Given AM’s history, have to say I fear the worst and it could well be we don’t see him back this season.  

Not just a concern as far as BCFC is concerned, but it is his career potentially at risk, so fingers crossed for the lad.

He won't be back this season

My thoughts too

We wondered why Fulham were so happy to let such a top quality player out on loan when they clearly needed back up in that position

Sadly seems those that warned about his injury record were correct

Physics is different for pro footballers?

Bloody hell, no wonder I was so shit.

I know injuries are apart of the game but I’m getting peed off with it quite frankly. All of a sudden we’re looking light in some areas compared to a few weeks ago where we had a bloated squad. 
 

It just never seems to pan out the way we want it. We’re not a club filled with luck are we?

Your surgeon at Winford. Did he have blue overalls and carried a mop and bucket? If so, I know him, I had my big toe straightened by him in 1985, It's straight but, upside down.

No, this one word black and a scythe!

Believe it or not, I walked out of the hospital as they didn’t have any crutches!

I do suspect that unless any U23 lads are deemed up to it we will need to find out of contract free agent player.

Frankly, from age 19 onwards players should be pushing for a first team place and once selected, claim the shirt.

We need an Academy that has that DNA, we need to give the Academy players that incentive. Push ‘em hard and early.
