The only thing I have on this is I think I remember Sam Lee saying as a young kid he was told to stop doing throw ins as parents were complaining about them being too good! Presumably that means he still has a decent throw on him but just hasn’t taken them for years.

Damaging absence for his development.

Would also like to know this. Anyone that knows why he has been missing pretty much the entire season so far? I've seen players miss less games than Delap with ACL injuries, seems strange that we (well me at least) basically have seen no update about why he's been missing, or when he is back. Almost suspiciously quite about why he has been missing considering we rejected a bunch of loan offers in the summer because he was seen as a part of the first team squad.
Got injured, then after recovering from said injury got another injury.
Now the club are probably being cautious, no need to rush. He’s too young to force him back and have him be injury prone, best be careful.

Thanks for the answer mate. Agree there is no need to rush him, I guess its unlikely we will see anything but a few cameos at best from him this season. A shame really, since it will probably be even harder for him to get minutes next year assuming we actually do sign a striker anytime soon. Really was a great opportunity for him this year, especially now when we sold Torres as well.
Don’t expect any appearances this season. Once he is back he will need EDS games to get back to speed.
Next season is his time, and agreed, he had a good chance this season, but sometimes people are unlucky, I hope he bounces back stronger.

In all seriousness, it's good to know he's on the mend and on his way back. Cheers for the info.

Good news. Hopefully he can get himself in contention once fully fit.

Hope it isn’t his back again. That sort of recurring injury/condition could really fuck up his career progress

Ankle i think it was, from what he was holding when he went down the EDS game

If you're meaning when he broke his back, that was circa 5 years ago (long before he joined us). As far as I'm aware it's never caused him any problems since recovering. Although back issues can cause other injuries down the line I suppose.
He's probably gonna miss out this year as he's probably gonna be back to speed after the early rounds of the FA cup are finished and that was probably his only realistic shot at minutes this season, so for me get fit, get scoring for the EDS and stake your claim in pre season next year.

Nope, if we win the league with 4 or 5 games to spare, he could get plenty of playing time alongside Palmer and McAtte. Think he could score a bucket load with the quality of our attacking players. We’ve not had a striker like him since Dzeko left.
