Ross Stewart

[Patches O Houlihan]

RM stated in the Leicester press conference that it's not a bad injury, and he expects him to be available again soon, and miss relatively few games because of the International Break falling after the Arsenal game.

The trouble with Stewart is that he appears to pick up regular "not bad" injuries which, accumulatively, results in a "bad" length of time out of the squad (reference the perpetual "he'll be back in two weeks" declarations over the last year...)

He needed to go out on loan. He just isn’t a Premier League player.

Just can't imagine a club willing to take that injury record on, even on loan.

Also, his rehabilitation would possibly have to be with us, for medical/ insurance purposes.

Then, until TP was back in the frame it looked as though we were going to be depending on him a bit in the middle.

that’s a relief

On the rare occasions he has played in the last 12 months he’s looked ordinary, slow and a poor touch. Obviously he hasn’t played any football for some time so maybe that’s to be expected but TP showed in twenty minutes he’s a far better prospect than Stewart. Has he had a shot yet ?

Yes. He had an effort in the away leg at WBA that took a deflection and although the keeper was already diving the other way, he somehow managed to save it with his foot. 

I do hope that isn't the closest he ever gets to scoring for us.

Unfortunately we all know what this means - might see him in the New Year at some stage.

If even Russ has given up trotting out the "2 weeks" nonsense, then it wouldn't surprise me if it's longer than that.... Do we actually know what the specific injury is this time around, or is it the usual guessing game the club play with this type of repetitive injury situation? (aka "Doing a Larios"...)

Even Augustin Delgado scored for us once.
