Sorry, I came across as overly hard on you there which I didn’t mean to.
I’ve read some really nasty stuff in this thread from people who seem to think he’s just scared of playing or something. I bounced off your comment to refer to those harsher opinions and shouldn’t have burnt you in the process.
Apologies.
I do wonder why football players seem to go off with the slightest of knocks whilst other sports have players playing with broken ankles or torn pecs.
This isn't a shot at Dom but it does really perplex me.

It could also be the club are trying to protect their multi million pound asset. He may have been under instruction to flag the bench if he felt any strain, and based on what Dyche said, he probably was.

What other sports are those, mate? I don't know of any that would play with these.
Dom's current problem is a specific one that's very hard to overcome - the hamstring. It's a muscle that the only recipe to get it back to 100% is rest. It's a terrible injury. Guys can play through knocks, like a bruise to the quad or shoulder pain. But for something like a groin or hammy, it's a tough injury to play through when you're not 100%.
According to Dyche, he was itching to play. Any speculation after that, is exactly that, speculation.
If his neck ain't broke I want him on the pitch and even then in goal?!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unwise or even insane to pick an unfit crock against the RS at their pit. Forget about him until he ever reaches proper fitness.

I don't blame Dom for being injury prone it's been known for two years really. I blame the club for not bringing any kind of like for like option to replace him when he's out over multiple windows and selling Richy who was able to be that focal point through work rate and threat. It didn't even need to be someone of his level as that's unlikely but someone who can play the target man role and weigh in with goals. Simms isn't that type even with his size but he should definitely be groomed with minutes off the bench as a option.

It's two maybe two and half seasons since he's been fit and on form. You just can't function as a team without a quality forward in this league.
no striker = no goals = we’re doomed

Dom’s goals aren’t his main asset. His hold-up play is.
Without it, I have no idea how we function under Dyche. We can’t just Maupay the opposition for 90 minutes.
