He had it twice last season and missed 14 games the first time and 8 games the second time. He missed a lot of games through injury at Hibs too. I’m only saying it’s a worry.

BEARGER 1,829 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Steven Gerrard “You need two who are as good, hungry and dangerous as each other,” he said, as quoted by the Scotsman. “They have to understand it will be horses for courses – sometimes Jermain will suit an opposition, sometimes it will be Alfredo.” “For sure, we are going to need both of them firing if we are to have any ambitions of moving forward. There is also a debate that we may need to get a third striker, even though we have other options who can play there.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading between the lines I think he has to go on loan now or he has no chance. A loan to a team like Motherwell or Hamilton could do him wonders, somewhere where he can commute from home and settle in quickly and concentrate on starting games. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacK1950 2,231 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Maybe not the latter as it was a "plastic" pitch that caused his injury and IMO playing regularly on one could be detrimental to his physical recovery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
