Gross was supposed to be a couple of games, it stretched to a couple of months and then they revealed a new injury..
I think that if the medical team say that an injury will be '1-3 months' the club always tell us 'we hope he's back in 1 month' - sometimes the player is back in time and often...
I'm sure CH isn't lying, but they always err on the 'he's close to returning' side of the estimate - and then there are loads of cases where it drags and drags...
I'm interested by that as my 12-yr old daughter told me Izquierdo had a knee injury 10 days ago - information gleaned by some social media of Jose's - and yet that information hadn't made it into the public domain. People need to get with the youth more :)
We had to name a squad before the first game, but I believe we can change it on September 1st at which point it is fixed until January. What I don't know is whether we can change the squad daily until that point if we choose, or whether it is fixed from now til September 1st
