OutByEaster? Posted December 23, 2018 Moderator Share Posted December 23, 2018 I saw him getting out of his car before the game, on crutches with a big grey plastic boot cast thing. Bugger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-R Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I'd say we deffo missed him today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 About the same time (and injury) as Terry last year? Thing is that time we had 2 defenders in back up in Elphick and Samba- our summer transfer window is going to cost us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumstopdogs Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Smith said today unlikely to play for 8-10 weeks. Time to get in some reinforcements! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 If it's 10 weeks + whatever it takes him to get back to match speed will we cut his loan short, and will Manure want him back to handle the recovery themselves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he had gone back for treatment. I imagine all loan agreements would have clauses dictating what happens in the event of major injuries, especially with a large club. Manure will want to ensure their player is ready to start training again before risking his return to Villa. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 This has been such a huge loss, I rate him very highly and expect him to be a top class premier league player, the silver lining is it slows down his development and makes it more likely we can keep him next season.

HeyAnty Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Only 4 more weeks to go. As big a lost as Jack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 22, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 22, 2019 I think people are getting a bit carried away with how much of an impact having Axel back will be. He performed very well when he was playing this season, but I don't think him returning will improve the performances all over the pitch like some people are suggesting.

He will take a couple of weeks/games to get back to match fitness. I wouldn't be putting all my chips on him making any type of Maldini return.

Probably not no, but his injury has taken the steam out of the run we were on. We'd built up some nice momentum and since he's left the side, there's no one bringing the ball forward and opening space up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd built up some nice momentum and since he's left the side, there's no one bringing the ball forward and opening space up. I think Jack's absence is by far the most influential factor though. Not Axel. Axel's done really well, and he'll undoubtedly help the defence if he were back. But having Tuanzebe fit wouldn't have magically made us beat Wigan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
