will grigg injured?

[Black Cat Gypsy]

Precautionary probably. We have a massive run in, he’s our player so we have a say.

11 days till Wembley and probably a niggle. He’ll be fine....

I think internationals side like to assets players who have picked up injuries with their clubs. I'd imagine this is the case.

 

[DrewC]

It was saying on Sky he was a doubt for their game on Thursday the other day.

It doesn't sound very serious.

Think is hamstring twinge as he pulled up against Walsall. Thought he was proper fucked at the time.

The one in the first half was his ankle. I thought at the time it might be the injury he had just before signing.

 

[Mary Hinge]

I nar that, but in what way?

Can't Fookin play....

Unless he hev speshal healling powers ya no good to the Blunders

"Will's ankle is an ongoing problem that he's had for some time," said Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill.

"He wasn't going to be in contention for Thursday night and it was unrealistic to expect him to be ready for Sunday."

Possible he is on the bench for Wembley then instead of starting.

Also if this is an ongoing problem there is not a hope in hell we can expect him to start all 8 league games in April.

 

[MackemTackem]

Rest Him up for the final and he will be fine, 11 days and counting

So his injury was more serious than had been let on and basically he’s been playing thanks to injections up until now?

That was my first thought when I read that comment from MoN. A problem he's been struggling with for a while. Not good news.

So have we bought a crock?

 

[OohBaldyBally]

I'd rather he was fit for all the league games we have next month, marra.

Well, aye but if he’s fit for Wembley then it goes without saying he’ll be ok for the games that come after that.

Why is a player who has one injury (that probably just needs rest) suddenly labelled a "crock" on here?

Protecting himself from an insurance claim...

 

[kildaremackem]

maybe hes not wanting to aggrevate it and miss the final so is pulling a sicky

aye he is missing two compeititve international caps to play in a tin pot cup final..sounds likely..

He's not (at least not by me).
Its a question for those more knowledgeable on the subject of WG than me.
It seems he's had this injury for some time, including before/during our negotiating his transfer.
Is it likely to have an adverse effect on the remainder of his season and, by association, our promotion push (as he's our #1 striker now)?

he has had a medical exmaination..if he had the injury already he wouldnt have been able to play the games he has for us and wiugan this season...almost every player has long-term stuff...but it doesnt impact them 99 per cent of the time...will might be in the one per cent bit now..when we dont have aleague game for weeks..so thats fine.
You do now our medical staff examine players before the owner spends £4m on them right?
