Benteke injury update

[Legion]

Any news?

[Jimbo]

Cheeky bastard. Hobbles off injured and now he's going skiing.

Dreadful colour those sticks. Surely we have claret and blue lying around somewhere?

[Chipsticks]

No need to panic, he's clearly just showing support for his idol Walt Jr for the Breaking Bad finale.

Very good.

I reckon he'll be 50/50 for Hull, so 2-3 games out (including the cup).

Don't like the look of his comment with this photo, or the fact he needs crutches. We need him.

I don't know the extent of the injury, but, I do know that crutches are used regardless these days.
It just stops any minor injury being aggravated.

I like the fact that he respects McGrath in his darkest moment!

[Duncan Shaw]

My son said earlier "I bet there aren't crutches strong enough to hold him up!"

It will be 3-4 weeks you would think. Helenius and Kozak have big roles to play.

It's a great opportunity for them both to show how good they can be.  If either of them step up it'll be great for the morale of the squad and also the future when Benteke predictably leaves.  If they fail then we have the security of knowing the Beast will return before we're too doomed.

An enforced change/opportunity may be a good thing?
Allows Lambo, the team and us to get used to Life Without Benteke.

Exactly.  If one of them proves good enough then it'll take the pressure off Lambert massively in the summer (assuming Benteke leaves).

[ozzjim]

It also might just take some pressure off Benteke and get him out of the thinking of the opposition a little for when he comes back. If Kozak can score 3-4 goals though and keep us ticking over it would be grand.
