TT5 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Just read this article about Josh Simpson and his leg break. http://www.teamradio.ca/soccer/josh-simpson-talks-recovery-from-horrific-injury/ Looking forward to the interview on Sunday. Sounds like it might be pretty emotional. Hope he returns soon, but sounds like it might be until the fall or so. Could have really used him in Honduras with this Canada team. He always had tons of heart and talent. Wishing him the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertuzzi44 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Agree. We really missed Simpson's pace and tendency to go forward during WCQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Wow, so he's going to be out for the Gold Cup as well. That's rough, hopefully he'll be the same player if not it's a tragedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yohan Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Wow, so he's going to be out for the Gold Cup as well. That's rough, hopefully he'll be the same player if not it's a tragedy. sounds like he'll be needing some sessions with a shrink to get his head back in the game too. going to be a rough for Simpson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeta Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 ^ Kinda hope he's just hamming it up a bit but yeah, a pretty dramatic event for anybody never mind an athlete so it's easy to imagine him being a bit gun shy. Once he's out and about on the pitch with some seriousness again he'll get over it all though, of that I'm sure. Ug. Can't stand a hour in the hospital visiting, couldn't imagine a week anchored to the same room. Double ug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strobe_z Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Has anyone see. Any updates on Josh Simpson's road to recovery. He's been a favourite of mine ever since that goal against Burkina Faso and I hope to see him pull on the maple leaf yet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Simpson was probably my favourite Canadian player and now seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth following the injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdude Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 +1 Any news? Josh Simpson was probably my favourite Canadian player and now seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth following the injury. Trying to read Young boys news. I found out that Young Boys played their first friendly yesterday and Simpson wasn't involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackdude Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 He's still injured. He hasn't played a Preseason game yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maccaliam Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Poor guy. It's hard to imagine he'll be able to get back to his best after being out for so long at his age. More importantly though, hopefully he won't have any lasting issues which could affect him after his footballing career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 The last info on him was a brief paragraph from YBB last month saying that he making good progress in his rehabilitation. It is not known when he will be able to play but the club hopes that he will be able to play sometime this season. http://www.bscyb.ch/news-detail.aspx?navi=4&detail=1884&pid=0&filter=32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradMack Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Hey, anybody have anything new on Josh's recovery? I've been looking around trying to find new articles but all he is mentioned in is the injury report, and it just says he has a broken leg. Also, I would have to say the one downside of him playing in Switzerland is that it's extremely awkward typing "Young Boys" into a search bar... Makes me nervous.

I haven't been active in searching about it, but I have been curious when he will stage his comeback! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcoatsforever Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 According to his wikipedia page, his return to the Young Boys lineup is July this year at the soonest. http://www.timescolonist.com/sports/simpson-works-on-comeback-in-soccer-after-devastating-injury-1.759966 < - That article doesn't give any specifics on a return, but he does say he'll be back for 2018 qualifiers.

Blackdude Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Young Boys wrote something on Josh's injury. It says that the healing process was halted during the Fall of 2013, and that he got operated this past Winter. He doesn't feel pain since the end of April. He'll start training soon. They'll go step-by-step and see where it will take him. EDIT: It is mentioned that he has acquired a Swiss Passport. (I wrote citizenship, but it's not the case) http://www.bscyb.ch/news-detail.aspx?Navi=4&detail=5716 Josh still has a final year on his contract with Young Boys.

It does say in the article that Josh is currently not thinking about staging a comeback and that he is taking everything day by day... Hopefully one day we will see him again in a competitive soccer match! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yohan Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Good luck on his recovery, but as a winger who relied on pace for a lot of his game, Simpson just won't be the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackdude Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 This has gotten under the radar, but Simpson did not receive a first team squad jersey.. He'll be doing his rehab outside of YB, and there's still no timetable on a possible return to action. http://www.bscyb.ch/news-detail.aspx?navi=4&detail=5755&pid=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I wish him the best, but at this point i am not holding out much hope of seeing him make a comeback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympique_de_Marseille Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I wish him the best, but at this point i am not holding out much hope of seeing him make a comeback. Back in December 2013: “I’ll absolutely be ready for 2018 qualifying,” vowed Simpson. http://www.timescolonist.com/sports/simpson-works-on-comeback-in-soccer-after-devastating-injury-1.759966 I"ll hold him to his word. I think he can be ready for Fall 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
