Aberdeen v Motherwell league cup game

Sorry, didn’t know where to ask this question. 
Is there an injury list available anywhere showing what players are out, what the injury is and target date to have them available for selection again?

I believe not. Someone posted a link on pie and bov but no idea how accurate it is

Ive had a look on the club website and I dont see anywhere that this information is listed.

Its been a frustration for sometime and not something we have been very good at since Flow left.

I get that some of it is private medical information and thats down to the player themselves, but I dont think it would be breaching any confidences to state the basic nature of the injury and timeframe for return.

Of course it could be down to managers not wanting to give opponents too much information in a bid to keep them guessing.

From what little I know or can glean from other sources the list looks like this....

Robinson - Achilles - October

Stuparevic - Knee - Long term

Nicholson - knee - unknown

Sule - unknown - unknown

Sparrow - muscle - unknown

McGhee - thigh - unknown

McGinn - unknown - unknown

Stamatelopoulos - shoulder - unknown

Slattery - unknown - 5/6 weeks

Hendry - unknown - unknown

 

For a club our size, thats a lot to contend with......

The club were ok at giving injury updates when Kettlewell was here. Pretty sure he used to give updates in his interviews.

If there is opposition managers will be all over it

I think that nature of the injury and timeframe for return is very much confidential information, but as you say, it could be equally likely we don't want to let opponents know who is available any given week.

If it was an illness, I would very much agree. That said, by divulging injuries and keeping illness confidential, you would effectively highlight a player with an illness, so it brings you back to the same place......

I was usually asleep 20 seconds after the start of his interviews and waking to catch the last 20 seconds after an 8 eight hour sleep. Boring self indulgent bastard.

The club used to give regular updates on injured players. When Slattery did his ACL there were tweets of him in his hospital bed the day of his operation and regular updates about when he would be back. With respect I don't see a player being injured and an approximate time of return being confidential at all. 

As a fan I don't expect to know everything about an injury but surely some time frame on a return for fans is something fans should expect.

I also don't see how not saying would give opposition managers an advantage - because just because someone is available doesn't mean they are going to be picked

What's that got to do with him giving journalists an update on injuries

The communications from the club has fallen off a cliff since Alan Burrows left. Don’t get me wrong, it was overkill at times and a lot of it was unnecessary (a coffee and a chat with x, y or z etc) but the club were on the front foot with communicating with the fanbase when Burrows was here.

All the fans need to know is a player is injured, and not available for selection, with additional updates when they are back training and/ or fit to play.

How would you feel about your GP giving constant updates on any injury or illness you had, the same applies to football clubs. So no need for any additional communications.

The lack of information, in some cases, may be required by contractual provisions. 

I suspect in many cases, much, although not all, of this information, will be known by rival managers.

That’s why your not a manager.

Just go away eh. You pick at everything I post and you've been at it for months

I respectfully don't agree. Kettlewell used to give updates on injuries in his interviews. So why has this changed. Don't you think fans have the right to know more? 

[wellgirl]

Motherwell are choosing not to tell fans about injuries. Do people really think that a player would have a clause in their contract that fans couldn't know about their injuries?
