Stoke City injury blow as midfielder ruled out for four months

27/06/2024 Raymond 0

Ben Pearson, Stoke City’s 29-year-old midfielder, faces a four-month recovery period following surgery for a persistent hamstring injury. Initially hoping to avoid surgery, Pearson ultimately required the procedure, which will likely see him miss the first ten games of the season and all pre-season preparations. Pearson, who joined Stoke permanently last summer from Bournemouth for a fee under £500,000, had a challenging season plagued by injuries, limiting his league appearances to 22.

Steven Schumacher, expressing his frustration, noted that Pearson had been working with the club’s physios all summer, but an undiagnosed hamstring issue necessitated the surgery. Schumacher remains hopeful for Pearson’s recovery and emphasized the importance of focusing on rehabilitation. Despite Pearson’s absence, Stoke City boasts a robust midfield lineup, including Josh Laurent, Wouter Burger, and emerging talent Sol Sidibe. Recent signings like Viktor Johansson and Eric Bocat further strengthen the squad. Schumacher remains pragmatic, urging Pearson to concentrate on his rehab to ensure a strong comeback.

Green Bay Packers: Jordan Love’s Weapon Injured On Bench Press (Report)

The Green Bay Packers are aiming to advance further in 2024, building on Jordan Love’s impressive first full season as starting quarterback. Love threw for over 4,000 yards and more than 30 touchdowns, bringing the team within three points of the NFC Championship game. For the Packers to become serious Super Bowl contenders this season, maintaining player health will be crucial. One of Love’s key targets from last year has some work ahead to be ready for the new season.

Packers tight end Tucker Kraft tore his pectoral muscle while bench pressing this offseason. The injury will keep him out of training camp as he recovers from surgery. Kraft explained to Bill Huber of Packers Central, “It was my last rep of the day on bench. Nothing crazy, not heavy weight. We were speed-benching and it just popped right off the bone.” This type of injury is commonly caused by bench pressing.

Liam Manning drops Matty James contract hint as Bristol City captain is ruled out of Stoke clash

01/05/2024 Raymond 0

Matty James will miss Bristol City’s final match of the season against Stoke City due to minor surgery for a hernia, but head coach Liam Manning has suggested that the midfielder might continue with the club beyond this summer. James, the team captain, is among four first-team players whose contracts expire next month, and his absence from the upcoming match indicates that his last appearance for the club, unless circumstances change, was the 64 minutes he played in the victory over Rotherham United.

While a contract offer has been made to Joe Williams to extend his stay, there has been no mention of James, who joined the club three years ago. If Williams remains and with Max Bird joining from Derby County after his loan spell, along with Jason Knight and Taylor Gardner-Hickman, Bristol City will have four senior central midfielders for the next season, excluding others who play further forward or younger talents like Adam Murphy and Jed Meerholz. However, Manning has suggested that this number could increase to five, with ongoing discussions and meetings to decide James’ future.

Stoke City makes awkward u-turn after telling star to ‘use NHS’ for surgery

Stoke City has reversed its decision and will now cover the cost of surgery for one of its women’s team players after she claimed the club initially advised her to use NHS services. Defender Kayleigh McDonald, 30, sustained a serious injury during Stoke City Ladies’ match against Burnley on March 24, resulting in multiple diagnoses including a ruptured LCL, a high-grade three ACL injury, and other complications. Despite the severity of her injuries, McDonald was informed she would need to join the NHS waiting list for surgery. In response, she launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise £20,000 to cover the costs, given her inability to work and the financial strain.

This time, the announcement on a Saturday afternoon conveyed that Zach LaVine would undergo season-ending surgery on his right foot. Adding to the distinctive Bulls touch, the news delivery seemed oddly detached, involving LaVine’s agent in the decision-making process but emphasizing, through Billy Donovan, that it was ultimately LaVine’s call.
