Lets not get too worried at the moment. Martinez likes to downplay return times so when a player gets back sooner we're all happy.

Hopefully that's true mate

as long as he makes the derby

"out for a while" does not sound promising

Big Doug · January 11, 2014

Hopefully he's back for the derby,
He's been out for a week and the derbys in just over two weeks. Will be there luck as always

what happened to him?

he got a massive injury and his form hasn't been the same since returning.

See also Gazza. Some injuries take away a vital cutting edge permanently.

this. I want to see him dribbling circles around Lucas.

They fear he's broken his toe.

Broken toe out for wks

Roztitute · January 11, 2014

Oh ffs.

We play Liverpool 2 weeks tuesday.

He injured it a week ago, so that'll be 23 days between matches. Might be a bit too soon if it's a broken toe to be honest..

Depends which toe and how severe. Baines' was a bad one in the Derby. Dont know how Barkley has done his, maybe less traumatically. Baines could have been back before he made his reappearance after his. 'Bout 3 weeks tops? He'll miss the Derby probably.

Little toe and it's playable with packing and injections, I suppose.

I wouldn't rule anyone out for the Derby. Probably he'll miss it, but maybe not.

Big Doug · January 11, 2014

has it been confirmed? it may be just a fracture and if so could be back for the derby is a fracture can be okay with injections after 3 weeks or so

It's better to panic first though. :unsure:
