Team Injury Report

[pash]

Just noticed that Taha Ali is listed as expected to return on the 24th per Transfermarkt. I did see a report a week or so ago that he had started training again (but mostly separately) so hopefully he will be ready soon.

Both Ali and Pavlenka will undergo surgery for their new dislocations. This will likely be a very long recovery time - from what I'm reading the arm has to be immobilized for up to six weeks, before they can even start rehab. I would not be shocked if their seasons are both over.

I think Pavlenka's injury would be closer to season ending due to the position he plays.  Reports say Ali back in 3 months and Pavlenka back in 4 months.

Yeah I was thinking Pavlenka is probably worse off there, but it seems a lot depends on exactly what needs to get repaired. I definitely hope Ali will be back in three months (and this issue will be actually corrected moving forward).

This is probably going to accelerate Lisci's move to his preferred formations, especially since Giannoulis will be back up and running soon enough. Hope this works out.

Neverending, one of those seasons...

Tsifti is a more than capable however LW is a major problem for us with Tyson close to the end and Shoretire well enough said...

Some advice for next year, put a line through distance runner builds when looking at potential signings.
