[sickbeggar]

so out for the season near enough? Great.

Has it been said he requires surgery? 6-8 weeks in the standard after a quick sweep of the www

True...I'm guessing not if he's sitting at home with a big wellie on.

Metatarsal is about two months.

Even then you're not fully fit as likes of Beckham and Rooney showed when they played in world cups after coming back from injuries.

I don't think we'll see him again until the new year if I had to guess when he'd play again.

Given his record as a fkw turning up to lift a trophy without having played for a while could we cling onto this as some hope from today ? Promotion sealed by the time he’s back ? I say this as someone genuinely gutted about his absence as he has totally won me over since the signing was confirmed - added to not backing him for first goal at the Fulham game at my missus request because time was short and I wanted to queue for a beer.

I think we are using the beckham recovery period forced on him almost because of the World Cup.  Of course he went but didn’t exactly look fit.

[sickbeggar]

I'd guess end of January being reasonably cautious. Lets hope he's got a promotion challenge to come back to

Metatarsal 8 weeks in plaster then recovery. Maybe K wires if the break is bad.

This could really shit on our season.

I'd be suprised if it's in plaster anything like that long, 4-5 weeks at the most and then about the same again in recovery and light training.  I'd expect to see him get some games with the U23s in mid-january and be back at the end of the month, unless there's something a little more complicated about it.

I run a Credit Department so in my expert opinion I don’t have a clue how long he will be out for.

[PeterWithesShin]

I doubt we'll see him until Feb at the earliest.

I am sorry that he is injured but this one injury is not going to or should not derail us. We have other bigger issues that need fixing.

Unfortunately it might.

Our defence hasn’t been an issue either this season or last really.  His leadership and organisation will definitely be missed though.
