C2SKI Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 2 hours ago, Blackdude said: AJH got injured with a right leg injury and left the game. It looks serious enough that he couldn't walk under his own power. He probably will be on the initial Canada roster that has been sent to CONCACAF, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's replaced before the tournament starts. Cavallini is starting to look awfully important. I wish he'd played more minutes recently. I sure hope he's fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolando Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Terrible timing for Jackson. I have been at least as excited about his emergence this season as I have about Davies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floortom Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Wow sucks for AJH. Guess Cavalini and Haber are going to carry the load up top now. Can't say I'm overly excited about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 As of this morning, Canadian strikers have scored 18 goals in MLS play. If AJH can't go for the Gold Cup, we will have managed to find a way to keep 15 of those 18 goals off the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Nooooooo poor AJH. This is terrible news. Let's hope it's better than originally feared. Looks ominous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialK Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 With Cavallini, Haber, Tesho and Ricketts ( if he's healthy in time) also there is Simeon Jackson but he wasn't very good in Scotland, we should be good for the group stage. For the Knockout stage we can get Larin back and maybe Jackson-Hamel will be good good. If we do get Larin back I hope he's fired up and comes out flying. Does anyone know if there is an signed agreement between national teams and mls on issues like Larin's or did the CSA just decide not to take him ? Is there a FIFA rule on that ? Lets not forget we still have Arfield,Hoilett, Davies, Edwards, Johnson etc. We should be able to score some goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot about Tesho - make that 15 of 20 MLS striker goals being left off the initial roster if AJH is injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince193 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 There's nothing official yet from the Impact so maybe it isn't as serious as feared. I would hold off on anything until we hear the extent of his injury. If he can't go though then Cavallini, Ricketts and Akindele should be our FWs. Akindele can play wing but if Petrasso, Aird, Hoilett, Davies and Edwards are on the team then he could be exclusively a ST for Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't see how one could be an acholic and footballer in this day an age and get awa with it. So is rehab used as more of a way to show that one is really really sorry, ..sorry enough that they will go to rehab to "fix" their issue with alcohol vs actually having an addiction and needing help, and will absolutely refrain from alcohol. I just don't understand these methods tbh. Johnny Manzel is somewhat of an example. I don't think Larin is entering rehabilitation in the traditional sense, he's entering the "MLS Substance Abuse and Behavioural Health Program and Policy." Who knows what that is.

Means no Wood, Yedlin, Pulisic, Brooks, Cameron, Johnson; that's more than half of their A team. Mexican C team + American B team = winnable tournament for smaller sides.

Grizzly Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 AJH was injured in the first half and came off for a few minutes. Then he played for about 10 minutes in the second half before being subbed out. Unless the medical staff really screwed up I suspect it is not very serious. It was hard to tell on the replay of when he was injured but I think he may have got some studs on the knee, ie. more of a flesh wound than a serious injury. He has seemed a bit susceptible to injury this year though although none of them have been serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton? Yes - he's a striker who scored 2 goals in MLS play but was left off the 40 man roster entirely. I'm not counting goals by midfielders in that tally. Hopefully the 15 doesn't become 17 (as I'm assuming Akindele gets called, which seems more likely now but still not 100%). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 I bet OZZIE wishes he had Hamilton on that initial roster now if AJH cant go and Larin is in rehab. I like what Haber brings but I was hoping he wouldnt be the #1, and making Cavallini the focus scares me even more. He has been to maybe 1 camp in the last few years?? Maybe he can gel with the team quickly. I WANT TO SEE A GOAL THIS GC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
