This might be the game but they've not been that evasive and haven't exactly avoiding it being known.
Hughton just given another update (the third!! since last Saturday) to the Argus . "“Minor injury...It is expected he will be out for a matter of weeks.”...
How rumours spread....(updated)
After the game at Watford, CH is interviewed ( starts at 23.50 ) All he says on GM was...
"we felt [Glenn Murray] would be fit for this game but that wasn't to be"

In the post match phone in the quote on Glenn from...
Murray "out for 3 months"
If Liam is sharing confidential(the club have certainly not said anything like this publicly) injury info with his Dad who then blabs it on a podcast the next day then he's not as professional as I imagined.
Murray "out for 3 months"
Except the club did say this after Watford.
And if he really is out for 3 months then as other posters have hinted at , there's a couple of pix / vids of him (on Instagram) on the beach on Sunday with no strapping or protective case and walking normally .
Murray "out for 3 months"
So his hefty wages AND £20K a week fee (at least - there were reports of all sorts of extras) after terms had been agreed for a loan player who has to return after a season is just fine . Is there any deal that's not ok ?
He had an operation so it wasn't minor. . And in fact Hughton himself said last week he would be back in full training "in a month".
So October is what is expected/hoped for.
