pod818 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 He wasn’t in tears, which was a good sign. I detected a minor limp though ShaneC06 and Obinna 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InglewoodJack Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 He walked off the field unaided, didn’t look too in pain, so I’m gonna stay positive until we hear more, but this is not ideal… Vasi, jonovision, ghostknownunknown and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaneC06 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 On the more positive side.... He's 22 and should recover faster than most??? Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Wishful thinking to assume it is cramp. When players pull up like that it's usually a tear. To what degree is what's important here. It's certainly possible it's very mild, but even then you're typically looking at a few weeks at least. Best case senario I think is that he's close enough to at least make the bench for the opener. The good news is that we've played well without Davies. He's far and away our most gifted player, but we have enough character to pull on without him, if necessary. We've seen Davies have some relativley poor games when he takes too much responsiblity. Mexico and Costa Rica at Edmonton are some examples. I am not saying I don't want him healthy and ready to go for Belgium, but him easing into the tournament may take the pressure off, instead of him trying to blow the gate off against Belgium, because we've seen mixed results in some other high pressure games. Just trying to find a silver lining here. lamptern, Craig11rm, InglewoodJack and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InglewoodJack Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 If he is out for an extended time, he’ll only be back for the round of 16. Not great, but at least he can help us when the competition gets tougher. Sal333 and Kent 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympique_de_Marseille Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 It too early for anything but the most wild speculation, but I think he plays vs Croatia. Belgium maybe. Japan, likely not. ( as a sub in the best case?) johnyb and Obinna 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks more like a tweak then a serious tear (yea I recognize that looks are often deceiving with respect to injuries) he injured his hamstring last year and was back quickly. In our match against the US in Nashville he came out with a leg injury and it turned out to be nothing serious either. So there is precedent but we’ll just have to wait and see. johnyb and Obinna 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
