Seen a few things on various podcasts saying:
Edwards & Burke both need to see specialists.
Bell is very close to returning.
Kelman & Godden both training again.

Bell back would be massive. Kelman and Godden a huge help2

Would hope that Edwards has already seen a specialist?
He's already been out for over a month (?)5 -
I do think it's a bit odd Jones never gives us any indication of when these players are back. We know Edwards is going to be out for a while which is hardly inside knowledge to our opposition, surely the fans deserve to know?4

When was the last time we had a left back/left wing back that has played a whole season?0

All three important for very different defensive reasons too. Bell solidifies the left hand side and nullifies some of the impact of Gillesphey’s lack of pace, Kelman presses like a madman which makes it hard for opposition to build from the back and Godden is able to make the ball stick more than the rest of our strikers, meaning the ball doesn’t come back quite so quickcantersaddick said:Bell back would be massive.

Yes…….we would all ‘like’ to know but for some reason or another there is a current ethos at the club to keep detailed injury info under wraps.
Speaking for myself, I can live with it.🤷5 -

Agree. I think we’ve missed Kelman in particular more than I would have thought.fenaddick said:

Returned to training a couple of weeks ago but injury was still causing him problems.ForeverAddickted said:Would hope that Edwards has already seen a specialist?

Wiggins made 45 appearances for us in 11/12 and was only dropped for the Preston game after we'd won the title when Powell decided to give starts to some of the supporting cast. Interesting considering how bad his injury issues became after thatI-SAW-POUSO-PLAY said:When was the last time we had a left back/left wing back that has played a whole season?2 -
He doesn’t have to say exactly when they will be back but a clue ( eg: a couple of weeks or long term ) would be nice for the fans . Of only to give us some optimism or to stop speculation.SoundAsa£ said:

I suspect Edwards will be back sometime in the future... Is that better...?Bedsaddick said:

Edit: Suspect he's also closer a return compared to when I originally wrote this post2 -

He has provided that information. He said none of the injuries are short-term or long-term, but more medium-term, and that some players are ahead of the others in returning. 🙃Bedsaddick said:

I doubt that he was "on the grass" as they say. Saw him after the West Brom game 3 weeks ago and he was still on crutches and wearing a protective boot thingy.CafcSteve said:
