That's seven more than Rickie Lambert at the same age (for example)...
(if that comment doesn't warrant one of CB's scathing pithy retorts then I'll be highly disappointed... )
Have the club ever divulged what Larios' injury is? Hasn't he now been out longer than players typically are with career threatening injuries such as ACLs, leg breaks, etc?
What injury does he have and why is it taking so long to recover from...?
Or.... If the players are big fans of Russ, rumours of a replacement manager could actually work in our favour as it'll galvanise them to put in good performances to try and convince the hierarchy to keep him....?

My only concern with Downes is that he's had a few "slight knocks" that turn out to be longer term injuries. Just makes me ponder if there's an underlying issue there somewhere, or if it's just a case of him being a tad unlucky this season. If we do sign him then the next thing we need to do is make sure we've got a better back up option available than we had this season....
