This is really bad news. Even if he comes back in January, he won't have had the benefit of pre-season and so will likely play only cameo roles at best this season. When you consider that Becchio - our top scorer last season - is also injured at the moment (and therefore also missing pre-season) that means that we're left with McCormack and Paynter as strikers, with Nunez, Gradel and Snodgrass as attacking midfielders.
It all raises a couple of very obvious questions/issues: - Will Grayson now go back into the market for a striker (I don't see how he can't, frankly)? If so, will that reduce his ability to bring in defenders and central midfielders? - Is there something systemically wrong with the club's approach to pre-season training? We seem to start every season with up to half a team's worth of players absent through injury. Cheers!
