Ankle ligament damage.

Any word on the magnitude? i.e 'serious' or 'slight'?

Like I said in another post, lets hope it's weeks rather than several months.

According the Mick Gledhill on Twitter Luke Gale is looking at 6-8 weeks out. Obviously this isn't confirmed by the club.

Kyle Briggs to return from his loan spell from Fev?

I expect Mick has probably just plucked a number out the air to be fair!!

Oh you think that do you B_B? What makes you say that?

Because I would doubt very much that the injury to Gale has been properly assessed at this moment. He might well be proved to be correct, but it will still likely be a guess at this moment.

Mick has the 100% correct information. Luke has done ankle ligaments and expects to be out 6 weeks.

Gale has tweeted he is off for a scan tomorrow.. perhaps somebody ought to tweet him not to bother.. the diagnosis is in.

Prognosis and diagnosis. Two different words. Everything at this stage is a prognosis, and Mick has the correct prognosis.

Im no doctor but i thought that in order to make reasoned prognosis an acurate diagnosis would have to be made first

The club, physio and staff will have made a reasoned decision on the type of ligament damage, and going on previous injuries of that type, they'll make a decision on how long the player is EXPECTED to be out.

Things just get better and better don't they.

I'd rather wait to see what the scans reveal, although I respect the fact the physio might have given an initial opinion on the severity.

The 6-8 weeks comes from Luke himself after I spoke with him.

Any news on Scruton? Seemed to pick up a shoulder injury?

Fair enough, as I say.. we'll have to see what the scans reveal. Sometimes your info is good.. sometimes it is quite a way off.

very bad news, our kicking game wasn't very varied today. we needed luke.

No, he's too creative. Potter dosent like that.

Let's face it, we can look forward to 6-8 weeks of the legend that is Ben 'Mr Anonymous' Jeffries

Not quite true - for one of those games he'll look really good / effective and keep his place in the side for a further 6-8 weeks off the back of it.

I'm told Briggsy had a top game yesterday for Fev, Started on the bench scored 2 trys and MOM, Daryl obviously knows how to get the best of him. I know they were only playing Dewsbury in the Thomas The Tank Engine Cup, but hey you can only play whats in front of you. If Gale is out for a couple of months I hope Potter does see sense and recall him and give him a fair crack of the whip. Anyway maybe jumping the gun lets wait to what prognosis is with Gale first.

Can we definitely recall Briggs? I seem to remember a quote from Powell saying that they wanted the stability of a season loan rather than dual reg.

That's what I thought, that the loan was non recallable
