Rather than using all the match threads, let's put injury crisis discussion in one location.

 

Current injuries and expected returns:

Brennan Camp (Shoulder) - 8-10 weeks

George Francomb (Groin) - ~1 week

Jordan Norville-Williams (Hamstring) - Unknown but can be anywhere from a few days to a few weeks

Callum Kennedy (???) - ???

Jimmy Muitt (Calf) - ~1 week

Seb Bowerman (Hamstring) - ~1 week

Bobby-Joe Taylor (Suspended) - 1 more match

Josh Taylor (Foot) - Unknown 

Luke Moore (MCL) - 6-8 weeks

Aaron Kuhl (MCL) - 6-8 weeks

Jason Prior (Knee) - 1-2 weeks

Rhys Murphy (Groin) - 1-2 weeks

James McShane (ACL) - 2+ months

 

Which leaves just the 9 fit senior players currently...

Harrison Foulkes

Barry Fuller

Tony Craig

Dan Gallagher

Matt Briggs

Niall McManus

Dan Pybus

Charlie Carter

Alfie Rutherford

Not much injury info given by Marc in the weekly update earlier today but he did confirm that Brennan Camp should be back by mid-October and that Aaron Kuhl is only a few weeks away. Luke Moore and Josh Taylor described as "longer". Also sounds like Jordan Norville-Williams is progressing well and possibly returning next weekend.

No update on Barry Fuller, George Francomb or Rhys Murphy but both Fuller and Murphy can be spotted taking part in full training in the training footage released this week. The only injured players I couldn't see in the footage were Francomb, Josh Taylor and McShane. Interestingly, I couldn't see Briggs or Carter either so hopefully not more injuries!

Going back off topic, I see Will Lankshear started tonight for Tottenham in the Europa League. His brother Alex (very) briefly played for Dorking Wanderers!

@dorking-eagle Alex is on loan at Welling so we will see him back at Meadowbank in a few weeks!

Lankshear very highly regarded at Spurs

@gary-munnery it was blink and you miss it. He came on for the last 10 mins away at Woking, immediately made a mistake that led to a goal and then never played again.

McManus now injured but no details on how long he will be out. Kuhl back next weekend though! Josh Taylor and Moore 3-4 weeks away.

Bit of a surprise but I guess the squad is way too big and so the club need to look at it objectively. I assume he is still injured?

@sddwfc I was very surprised seeing that. Was looking forward to him getting fit then back in the squad .

Definitely a surprise, especially as we are a bit short of midfielders at the moment. Can only assume the injury Pybus picked up at the weekend was not that bad or that Josh Taylor and Luke Moore are returning ahead of schedule?

Such a shame that Kuhl never really established himself in the side. If felt like every time he picked up a bit of form, something would interupt it like an injury, suspension or the season ending.

I wonder if he will return to Farnborough or Slough? Either of which would see us face up against him fairly soon...

A number of reasons apparently. He has another job, and we're trying to move more towards full time 'football only' players. I think he also questioned how much game time he'd get once everyone is fully fit and considering his age, really wants regular first team football.

Good player tho.

Spoke to him during the game on Saturday, he said he was fully fit again and looking forward to getting back into the team. 

Sad to see him go, and I thought he had loads of potential

I agree, shame he is going, he did exactly what was asked of him, real shame his last action as a DW player was throwing himself wholeheartedly into a challenge. 

I have a feeling Farnborough will be front of the long queue of clubs wanting him
