Marc Albrighton Appendicitis.

[london lion]

Just recovered from the same thing,was up and on my feet after a fortnight but not back to full (working) fitness till this week

4 weeks in all.

[IRISHPHIL]

wthl marc out hope he will use gabby on the right wing, downing on left wing and ashley young just behind carew

[Merv]

I don't think we should train for the rest of the week give us a chance to out 11 out on Saturday.

Honestly, it's ridiculous. One step forward, two steps back.... we had Clark fit again for Blackburn, but then Albrighton and Collins drop out. Carew makes a return this week in the reserves, now Albrighton's ruled out for three weeks.....

There are injury problems and then there's our situation, which is verging on unbelievable.

[saunders_heroes]

Since making his debut he's missed a hell of a lot of games for Villa. I hope he's not gonna be another injury prone player akin to the likes of David Dunn, Kieran Dyer etc.

[OCD]

Mark Noble had an appendicitis op at the beginning of Nov and played against Liverpool last week - so 3 weeks will be about right.

It was 10 days between the op and the game according to the commentators. Whether he had pain killing injections or not I don't know but it shows that with a club's medical resources, the turnaround time would be much faster than if it were any of us.

[BC54 VFC]

Oh no! MB is the one player who has managed to keep me smiling throughout the difficult start to this season. Get well soon, Marc.

[PaulWinch again]

Bloody hell. Get well soon Marc.

[Risso]

Is this about right then?

Tempted to cross out Ireland and put the word "Mental" next to his name as well....

I thought NRC was only going to be out for 3 weeks, is he close now?

[CJ]

I thought NRC was back this week but Carew out for another week?

[Risso]

I thought NRC was back this week but Carew out for another week?

Carew played an hour of the reserves match.  How "fit" he is is therefore up for debate I suppose.

[JJ-AV]

Really annoying, he'd have had a stormer in that cup game.

Someone will get called up the Jury Duty next and it'll be a huge case locking them from the outside world for six weeks.

Just glad no one went in to 'I'm a celebrity, get me out of here'

[dave.woodhall]

Just been told the new club doctor diagnosed it on Sunday. If he hadn't, and Marc had played, the consquences don't bear thinking about.
