[Albion] Bong?

[One Teddy Maybank]

Colleague?
No info on Gaetan whatsoever. Just going by how bad it looked.
Someone on here said earlier that the club are waiting for test results so that may still be the case.

Colleague that had info on Stephens

No source or anything, but I wonder whether we'll hear Bong has already been operated on. Pessimistic I know, but the longer it goes without results, the longer I wonder.

Alternatively, the optimistic view could be that If ligament damage, I would have thought swelling/internal bleeding is immaterial to an MRI image, (as the images are slices) so maybe muscular/cartilage, which could be less serious......

All guesswork.

100% this.

The rest of the team let us down but it happens. Could have easily lost that game with playing with 10 men near the end.

Or could just have easily been 3 up by half time.

 

[StonehamPark]

Anyone see any news yet?

I'm a bit more optimistic with the fact time has passed. Had he snapped his ACL, or similar severe injury, that could have been diagnosed as soon as he had a scan, and an announcement with timescale you would have thought would have been made by now. If they're not making an announcement, perhaps the injury isn't as severe, but they have no idea of how long or the severity because there is too much swelling and inflammation like you say. Fingers crossed it isn't bad as first feared.

Is Bong on some sort of NHS waiting list ??

 

[Guinness Boy]

Is Bong on some sort of NHS waiting list ??

I think you're thinking of the NHS prescription list for MS patients. *winks*

 

[Mileoakman]

Said on the facebook page that he had an op yesterday and out for 3 months. Don't know how accurate that is.

Yes but WHERE on FB?!

 

[jamie the seagull]

Would expect club to update us on Bong at the same time as the loan cover arrives from WBA...

 

[Uncle Buck]

Also heard that he had the knee operated on yesterday and out for 3 months.

Club looking to bring in a left back on loan.

 

[Drumstick]

I heard he never even had knees, this has amusingly only just come to light. He will be touring the county soon in the circus.

Thanks - 3 months depends on which ligaments I would suggest.

 

[severnside gull]

The lack of news presumably means the club want to mitigate the loss by announcing a loan signing simultaneously

 

[BensGrandad]

If it expected to be 3 months then I would say we need to push for Pocognoli or somebody else to cover

 

[sir albion]

Such a big blow

 

[portslade seagull]

One of the best so far this season

 

[StonehamPark]

Still no official news on Bong yet.
Guessing they're trying to tie-in the bad news at the same time of a loan signing to soften the blow?

 

[Bozza]

Official now:

Brighton & Hove Albion defender Gaetan Bong is expected to miss the next 12 weeks, after suffering a thigh injury in last Saturday's draw with Preston North End.



The Seagulls left-back underwent surgery on a ruptured left thigh tendon yesterday, and will face a lengthy rehabilitation period ruling him out into the New Year.

 

[Surf's Up]

Shit.
