Bristol_South_End Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere. Anyone know why McCrorie wasn't available for Pompey? Carrying a knock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 He’s missed the last couple of friendlies, so yes. No further information yet but NP is bound to be asked about him as the week goes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leveller Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 Am I the only one who is puzzled by his situation? And the lack of debate about it? What is this mystery bacterial infection, how did he get it, why does it possibly need surgery? Perhaps he has dropped off the radar because we haven’t actually seen him play. This illness seems potentially serious/lengthy yet isn’t really discussed. Or have I missed something? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he was never going to be ready for the start of the season and we bought an injured but recovering player in similar fashion to how Bournemouth bought Scott.

ExiledAjax Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 I can only keep thinking of the horrendous injury that Santi Cazorla suffered after leaving Arsenal. I've got no information suggesting that is what McRorie has, but that is an example of an infection being an injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merrick's Marvels Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 (edited) On more than one occasion (Pearson at least once) the injury/infection has been described as "delicate".... And given it seems no-one from the club wants to talk about it in any detail.... The mind boggles. If surgery is being considered, for an infection that antibiotics hasn't cleared up, things must be quite serious and I get the horrible feeling we won't be seeing him for a good while yet. Which would be fine, if Tanner was seizing the chance to make the position his own.... Edited August 22, 2023 by Merrick's Marvels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds likely - An infected operation site that has to be tidied up, cleaned, iv antibiotics & numerous visits to the wound clinic. that all is well & we get to see him!

Got his hat trick then put his"boot" on again, it was just a protection thing . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, hernia op leaves a big scar and therefore the underlying wound could’ve got infected if it didn’t quite heal. Sod antibiotics, get some Irn Bru on it lad! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your last sentence mentioning serious is why it’s not been discussed and news has been limited. It sounds VERY serious and that’s anyone needs to know. Good luck to the bloke!

SBB Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 When bacterial infection was mentioned, my first thought was possibly a staph infection or glandular fever. Staph infections sometimes need the wound drained so technically surgery but I’ve never heard of glandular fever needing surgery. Hopefully it’s a case of weeks not months.

Redtrojan Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 Yes hernia op leaves 3 small holes ,no big scar anymore.But can still get infected I guess.

Sporting hernia (Gilmore’s Groin) different to normal hernia. No idea what McCrorie’s was though. Gilmore’s requires a cut rather than keyhole.

petehinton Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 From the way Pearson first described it, it seemed like a pretty personal, potentially embarrassing, one hence the “please don’t press me any further on it” confirmation. Easiest assumption is something has gone wrong with his hernia op/recovery but who knows. Doesn’t seem like something the club will be too forthcoming with, understandably 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 I could’ve sworn it was mentioned that he has a bone infection? If that’s the case then, depending on the severity, surgery is sometimes required to remove dead tissue from the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
