Black.....What do i win.... ?

No, I've understood it well thanks. Please see my link where it is compared to the injury that he suffered earlier in the season (albeit acknowledged as hopefully not being quite as severe). Thanks for the unnecessarily patronising response though.

I dont think he is patronising you at all I just think he is saying you are talking Bollix which is probably true because there are varying degrees of severity of all injuries and varying times for players to recover from them

What do you want out of it then... just poking your nose in to try to get an argument too?

I've never denied that, thanks for pointing it out again though. Think I've got the message now (finally).

Let that be a lesson.

I was hoping to read about the Saints injury news on this thread, I should've known better, just more infighting!!

Here you go - Gabbiadini was back in training this morning so should be ok for Saturday!

Thanks for this -good news. Enjoy an update whilst you can folks before its lost in the plethora of idiotic posts by the usual suspects.

Great news. Where's that reported or are you ITK? If he's only returned today I'd imagine he will start on the bench on Saturday.

You can see him on Saints' snapchat of training this morning

Yeah not claiming to be ITK! Saw it on snapchat

Davis and Gabbiadini will be in the squad for Sat

Austin back in training but not match fit

Pleased to see that Stephen Davis has recovered from injury and will be surprised if 'Davo' isn't in the starting line-up but with Hojbjerg and Claisie having played well at The Hawthorns, it's not an easy decision for the Manager. My guess is that Pierre-Emile will lose out to Davis with Jordy keeping his place after that excellent goal.

Here you go - Gabbiadini was back in training this morning so should be ok for Saturday!

Fantastic news!

By the look of the training gallery from today, Gabbiadini wasn't actually joining in with full training. Seems like he was doing his own fitness stuff - https://southamptonfc.com/news/2017-04-13/training-gallery-southampton-manchester-city

I see Jack Wheelchair has fractured his leg. I think we should sign him up, he'd be a perfect fit for us.

when is VVD back, if ever, for us?

If his instagram is anything to go by, he's currently doing some running work in the gym.

I'm not sure it's in anyone's interests to rush him back for a couple of pointless games at the end of the season so we may have seen the last of him in a Saints shirt

Sounds like he won't play again this season from Puel. Wouldn't want to jeopardise the sale, huh? Perhaps already stipulated by buyer...

Targett and Austin back in training this week. Austin aiming for U23 on May 5th. McQueen had a knock, out for about a week.

Or perhaps not to risk his full recovery so he can have a full pre season with Saints

Shame when people make statements like this with no evidence. Best leave the fake news to the tabloid hacks. VVD won't play until he has recovered sufficiently to return to full training, just as Targett and Austin have this week. Whether that will be before the end of the season is in the hands of the physios.

He posted today on Instagram showing him doing ball work, so progressed on from the running in the gym, but clearly still a few weeks away from returning to full training.

Would still love to know what idiot thought it would be a good idea for VVD to continue for those 5 minutes.

Or he could be aiming for the 3 fixtures that Netherlands have at the end of the season :-

The same person who decided Long had to be substituted when he wasn't injured.

More likely to be VvD wanting to stay on and see how it went.

I read a fan post on twitter yesterday that claims forster has ongoing injury which limits his ability to dive on his left side. I then noticed he was walking ever so gingerly into stadium today. Anyone heard anything concrete about this?

An injury would certainly explain why he's been so poor.

He must also mean our other goalkeepers are woeful.

Indeed. The way club have kept quiet on McCarthy as well a bit odd.

The club are very often guarded about the length/type of long term injury a player has. Probably just a case of trying to brush bad news under the carpet..!

I still don't think anyone really knows what happened to VVD? Ankle, Foot, toe..?

I honestly believe that the reason he is out for so long is that we are protecting the huge transfer that is obviously going to happen. Getting our man tip top before cashing in.

Ankle ligaments, I would assume.

Except he doesn't dive well to his right either.

I think he's just an imobile lump who has had his limited goalkeeping skills well disguised by a strong defence (and playing in a tinpot league) before this season.

Of course YOU do, you've gone from an acute negative to a morbidity......

Ankle ligaments, I would assume.

That could take more than a year to recover.

well given he's back running it can't be that

This is the one thing that properly annoys me, why is it so hard for the club to be honest and transparent about injuries? It's like it's the worlds closet guarded secret, I don't see who it benefits. Just frustrates the **** out of us.

The club is even more of a closed shop now compared to when Cortese was here. That must be by design....takeover maybe??

Good news, but ankles are very sensitive things. Not surprising really when you think of all the loads that they take.

Not all ligament damage is the same.

No, but any ligament damage is tricky.

It's true . Hip injury he has been carrying most of the season.

I noticed he was gripping onto the net yesterday grimacing. Also at WBA there was a close up of him grimacing. Why don't they give hassan a go if that's the case? Can't do any worse surely.
