Dusic Posted 25 January, 2017 Posted 25 January, 2017 Didn't sound great from Puel post match on VVD. Certainly more than a knock, talking about seeing a specialist and seeing how long he will be out for.

VectisSaint Posted 25 January, 2017 Posted 25 January, 2017 Takes the shine off the win Not certain that Yoshida will be 100% either, looked like he may have hurt his rib(s). He played on but saw him whince a couple of times.
Kingsbridge Saint Posted 26 January, 2017 Posted 26 January, 2017 Not certain that Yoshida will be 100% either, looked like he may have hurt his rib(s). He played on but saw him whince a couple of times. That was Lovren sliding under him to try to drop him on his head. ****.
Greenridge Posted 26 January, 2017 Posted 26 January, 2017 Any news today? Poor guy's slipped right down the page after last nights shenanigans!
BotleySaint Posted 26 January, 2017 Posted 26 January, 2017 Any news today? Poor guy's slipped right down the page after last nights shenanigans! I guess the club are trying to get a full assessment before making any big announcements. Especially as it might affect the price of defensive replacements. Depressing thought: if he is out for the season (3-4 months) our last memory of him in a saints shirt might be getting kicked by Vardy and limping off!

Dusic Posted 26 January, 2017 Posted 26 January, 2017 Once the Anfield euphoria dies down a little in the coming days this will feel like a huge blow. To lose our best player in our weakest position cover wise for most of the rest of the season is ****. Especially as he will surely go in the summer. Such a shame.
lickierambert Posted 27 January, 2017 Posted 27 January, 2017 A terrible thought has crossed my mind-have we seen the last of VVD in a Saints shirt? These 'three month' injuries have a habit of extending way beyond the initial diagnosis
DrZuess1979 the 2nd Posted 27 January, 2017 Posted 27 January, 2017 A terrible thought has crossed my mind-have we seen the last of VVD in a Saints shirt? These 'three month' injuries have a habit of extending way beyond the initial diagnosis I had the same thought uggh Hope if he is out for the season, he'll at least give us one more season Clutching straws though
Golden Balls Posted 29 January, 2017 Posted 29 January, 2017 I reckon we'll find out the day after the window closes. Either way, we need a CB signing.
LGTL Posted 29 January, 2017 Posted 29 January, 2017 A bit odd this injury. After the Leicester game Puel stated that it 'wasn't serious' Appears that's not the truth
Whitey Grandad Posted 29 January, 2017 Posted 29 January, 2017 Foot injuries are difficult to diagnose but the treatment's much the same anyway. Rest and then rebuild strength and confidence. Rush things and you risk a setback. One step at a time.

Rush things and you risk a setback. One step at a time. I've had a few from five-a-side...put ice on it and put your foot in the air was always what I was told!
Whitey Grandad Posted 29 January, 2017 Posted 29 January, 2017 I've had a few from five-a-side...put ice on it and put your foot in the air was always what I was told! Quite right but hopping all the way to work can play havoc with your other leg! RICE - Rest Ice Compression Elevation
Saint IQ Posted 29 January, 2017 Posted 29 January, 2017 I reckon he'll be out for a month and back for the final.
Saint Garrett Posted 2 February, 2017 Author Posted 2 February, 2017 Claude Puel says he expects #SaintsFC defender @VirgilvDijk to be out for around two to three months. :'(
Kingsland Red Posted 2 February, 2017 Posted 2 February, 2017 In his press conference just now I thought Puel said "2-3 weeks, 2-3 months, we do not know yet" .....
simo Posted 2 February, 2017 Posted 2 February, 2017 In his press conference just now I thought Puel said "2-3 weeks, 2-3 months, we do not know yet" ..... Many weeks , 2 to 3 months
BARCELONASAINT Posted 2 February, 2017 Posted 2 February, 2017 which is it guys, the bad news I can cope with....it's the hope that is killing me!!!
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 2 February, 2017 Posted 2 February, 2017 Nice one, Les. The club must have had a good idea that this was going to be the case and also sanctioned the sale of Fonte without having anyone lined up as a replacement. We can't beat teams in the bottom 4 and can't beat teams in the top 6. Looking at the remaining fixtures it's not looking very good is it?
Shroppie Posted 2 February, 2017 Posted 2 February, 2017 Mr Vardy best keep clear of me for a long time. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk
AK Posted 2 February, 2017 Posted 2 February, 2017 which is it guys, the bad news I can cope with....it's the hope that is killing me!!! its 2-3 months confirmed all over the place including the official club twitter feed.
trousers Posted 2 February, 2017 Posted 2 February, 2017 Adam Blackmore @bigadamsport Wow - Claude Puel just told me that Virgil Van Dijk will not be fit for the EFL Cup Final and faces 'many weeks' out #SaintsFC

We can't beat teams in the bottom 4 and can't beat teams in the top 6. Looking at the remaining fixtures it's not looking very good is it? We'll finish lower mid-table instead of mid mid-table. We'll still be a mid-table side which is what we've been all season.
Whitey Grandad Posted 2 February, 2017 Posted 2 February, 2017 Mr Vardy best keep clear of me for a long time. Nasty little sh!t (Not you Shroppie)
Jai27 Posted 2 February, 2017 Posted 2 February, 2017 So it's possible we'll be spending the rest of the season with Yoshida, Stephens, and Gardos as our centre backs. It was only a few weeks back that we were all saying god help us if VVD gets injured and we don't replace Fonte. Well, here we are Transfer wise this window has been the biggest balls up we've made since Osvaldo and Delgado before him.
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 2 February, 2017 Posted 2 February, 2017 Failure to get a centre-back in when we were a) told we would if we sold Fonte, and b) knowing VVD is injured for 12 weeks is basically negligence of incredible proportions. Didn't think Les Reed and his team had it in them to be honest. I wonder what on earth they must have been doing all month to end up asking for Jordi Amat on loan at 22:55 on deadline day. Jordi Amat - a player who lost his place in one of the worst teams in the league to a defender from Barnsley. Can you even begin to imagine who else the brain trust approached in the closing hours of Tuesday night?
Shance Posted 2 February, 2017 Posted 2 February, 2017 What a ****ing cluster **** that transfer window was. Our starting two CB's are now Yoshida and Stephens. **** me. Club have royaly ****ed up.

SKD Posted 2 February, 2017 Posted 2 February, 2017 I don't get why everyone is shocked about this? it was reported before the Liverpool game he is out for 3 months and the silence from the club was telling.
sambosa75 Posted 2 February, 2017 Posted 2 February, 2017 Chris Samba and Martin Caceres both free agents. Surely one of them is worth a punt? Best part of a month to get match fit for the final...
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 2 February, 2017 Posted 2 February, 2017 At least we have our potent attack with 23 goals in 23 games... I just don't understand the thinking. At a time when we clearly have issues in the final third and need our defence to keep us in games while Puel and the strikers figure it all out we've edged towards a scenario where we may have to score two goals in a game to get anything out of it. How can anyone at the club think that is acceptable? Cedric already alluded to the mentality of the players changing given our personnel in defence and now we've got that until the end of the season!
Dark Munster Posted 2 February, 2017 Posted 2 February, 2017 A player who seriously injures another player (non-accidentally) should be banned for the same length of time as it takes for that player to recover.
simo Posted 2 February, 2017 Posted 2 February, 2017 Should Les Reed fall on his sword for this ? I think so especially if it costs us the cup and near relegation!
Dark Munster Posted 2 February, 2017 Posted 2 February, 2017 Every time we play Leicester from now on I hope Vardy gets the Lovren treatment from our fans.
James Posted 2 February, 2017 Posted 2 February, 2017 Utter incompetence from Reed. There really is no other word for it.
James Posted 2 February, 2017 Posted 2 February, 2017 I don't get why everyone is shocked about this? it was reported before the Liverpool game he is out for 3 months and the silence from the club was telling. Think everyone got their hopes up when Puel said it was only 3 weeks pre-Swansea.
redkeith Posted 2 February, 2017 Posted 2 February, 2017 Bad news after a bad tackle. I hope now that the Leicester film they were talking about after last season has an Empire Strikes Back style sequel, where they gwet relegated and the big chinned pikey is preserved in Carbonite to stop him joining Arsenal.

And imagine if Yoshida gets injured or suspended.
James Posted 2 February, 2017 Posted 2 February, 2017 This is a bigger balls up. Much bigger. And imagine if Yoshida gets injured or suspended. Can see it now - Stephens and Gardos against Zlatan at Wembley.
Window Cleaner Posted 2 February, 2017 Posted 2 February, 2017 We can still sign free agents cant we ?? Yes but any free agent CBs available are probably so for a reason.
eddie Posted 2 February, 2017 Posted 2 February, 2017 shame we aren't playing Leicester again this season. the boos when vardy receives the ball would be quite something
