Littlesh*t Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 Has anyone got an update on Benarous? I thought he was meant to be out until Christmas time but an App I use for scores seems to think he is nearly back and just needs to build fitness. That being said this app isn't the most reliable for injuries outside of the prem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverRed Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 I'm pretty certain I saw him on Monday at the HPC, still on crutches. Might be mistaken identity though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 Can’t see any reason why the prognosis that he’ll be back around Christmas/ early’23 would change with the type of injury he has. Wouldn’t be trusting any App for scores on this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was at the game on Tuesday evening and not using crutches on his way to sitting behind the dugout. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to seeing him back and can see him fitting in well with a more footballing side if we keep it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case, the latter part of my comment applies. Mistaken identity from a moving car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cityboy1954 Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 Good player very promising lets hope its sooner than we think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 I'll be (pleasantly) surprised if he's involved with the 1st team before February. Even if he's back and ready to go late December/early January I would expect a couple of run outs in the U21s first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 I think Benarous will take Scott’s place when he goes. The lad is a bit in Scott’s shadow but I think he has just as much potential. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshtonRobin21 Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 I don't believe we will see him until after Christmas. The type of injury sustained, and at the age he is at, the club won't risk the injury re-occuring. He's a special talent, and has a long-term future at the club. We won't risk rushing him back until the injury heals, and he is 100% back to full fitness. He's been doing low impact training (bike work) in the HPC gym. But there's still many stages he needs to work through to even get back onto the grass. Then he will complete individual training (like Semenyo currently is) before being reintegrated back into the team training sessions. One thing Nige is very strict on, is ensuring players are fully fit and free of any injuries before he will consider playing them. Hence Kalas taking so long to return, Joe Williams being managed carefully, and Cam Pring needing to slowly build his fitness back up. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tin Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 I think it depends on when he’s able to get back on the grass, so to speak. The winter break for the World Cup could come at a good time for him. If he’s back in light training by then, and avoids any setbacks, January looks realistic.

Can you imagine if we still had the previous medical team\regime! There would be a queue and appointment system for the treatment room, Scotty would have to be considered for selection, along with most of the u18s, and Pearson would be appealing for fans to bring their boots to matches - just in case.

Claverham_Red Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 January loan option to a League 2 club or maybe a National League club be better as you can control the loan length with NL teams, I believe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's guaranteed to be with our first team when he returns. No chance he goes down to League 2/non- league level. He just needs to recover from his injury, and then he will be on our bench/challenging for a starting position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Scott in more of an Alonso position dictating the pace of the game where as Benarous is more attacking and I see him in a front 3 or behind the strikers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having done my ACL, there are so many stages of rehab, and each one can have it’s pit-falls / set-backs. I was well ahead of schedule, bike, wobble-board stuff, had kept all my muscle (pretty much) and about to start light jogging. Then I got a bit of fluid (something that I will always suffer from), had to slow down, lost a bit of muscle, and downward spiral. I pretty much gave up any hopes of playing again in a reasonable timeframe after 6 months of stop start, think it’s ok, then more fluid. I actually stopped playing for over 2 years. They won’t rush him. You’re right. 1 hour ago, downendcity said: Can you imagine if we still had the previous medical team\regime!

That’s unfair…Andi Weimann had no complaints! 28 minutes ago, AshtonRobin21 said: He's guaranteed to be with our first team when he returns. No chance he goes down to League 2/non- league level.

Nige made that point earlier…that he’s now used that time to become a fully fledged member of the first team squad. Nice comment, can feel lonely being on the sidelines as a youngster in a senior environment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice comment, can feel lonely being on the sidelines as a youngster in a senior environment. I'm fairly sure Nige also commented on this not too long ago. Stating that it was a boost for Benarous' confidence as he was speaking with experienced pro's one-to-one on a daily basis in the treatment room. From what I've seen from clips and on the open training session, Benarous' and Semenyo are both being kept with the squad wherever possible.
