WTF is going on with Dale Stephens ankle injury?
Turning into the longest running injury & rehab ever! No one seems to know anything about his comeback date.

Has everyone forgotten that Baldock plays for us? Rarely gets a mention
Anyone with information on Lua Lua, Bent, Stephens and Greer?
So essentially, no one has any clue about the injury status of 5 key players who are out and not sure IF/When they're coming back?
Lua Lua, Bent, Stephens, Greer, Baldock - Our only serious playmaker, our loaned ex-England CF, possibly our only current creative midfielder, our club captain and the bloke we spunked $2M on?
Seriously, we are all utterly in the dark?
Lamie has reported that Stephens indicated at the Xmas party that he'll be back in January 2015.
Greer told me at the Xmas party that he was one or two weeks away. An Argus report suggested it might be a tad longer than that.
Nathan said that Bent had a minor groin strain.
Reports from club said that Baldock wasn't far away from playing against Reading.
No idea on KLL.
Kazenga LuaLua is creeping closer to his Albion comeback.
The influential winger has been out since the end of November with knee trouble.
Boss Chris Hughton said today: "He's not as close as we would like but he's making good progress.
"He hasn't had any setbacks, which is good. He has been out, of course, for a period of time.
"He's out doing his rehab work, twisting and turning. He hasn't been involved in any football work with the group yet.
"We are hoping over the course of the next week, week-and-a-half, he might be able to join in some sessions, and then it is assessing how far he is off from there.
"At the moment we are not putting any timsescale on it but he is going in the right direction."
Midfielder Dale Stephens, sidelined since April by ankle ligament and nerve damage, has suffered no further setbacks in his recovery quest.
Hughton said: "The difficulty with Dale, as opposed to Kazenga, is that he has been out for a long time. At this particular moment he is making good progress. He's not had any problems.
"He's a very fit lad. We will have to assess how many development games he would need to get back up to speed."

Thank you, Mr Hughton. One thing lacking under Sami (one of many things, in fact) was an update on player injuries. Strange as it may seem the fans are interested.

Dale is making good progress and we're hoping that he can play some part of an under-21 game next week.
"It will take Dale a while. It is okay doing as much rehab as you can, but what you face in a competitive Championship game is completely different.
