Let's keep track of injury updates, and when allocated players and internationals are going to be missing due to being called up to their national team. Organize it all in one thread.
I'll start u out ---all tweet based Wambach - WNY - day to day Van Hollebeke - Port - two weeks Bock - Houston - Out for season
Why are we combining these two topics? They're different things. So sorry for Brittany Bock. That woman cannot catch a break. How frustrating must it be to train hard the whole off-season, injury free, and then this happens within 20 minutes of the debut game. Sheesh. On the all-time list of unluckiest players, Bock ranks pretty high. I still think she would've broken into the USWNT without all the injuries. You have to wonder if this is the last straw for her. She's competitive as hell but you have to get demoralized at some point and perhaps think your time would be better spent elsewhere.
Saw a quote attributed to Wambach saying the Flash have a bye week after Chicago to give her time to heal...that seems to hint she isnt planning to play in Chicago.
WPSL-M: could you change the thread title to be injuries only.? I agree that NT call ups are a whole different deal. If you can't, can a mod do it? Thx.
Not my thread BUT there is really no reason to have a specific thread for each circumstance that makes player unavailable for matches. If the purpose of the thread is availability, then u only need one thread that takes in injury, NT duty, personal leave and whatever else come up. If u want to use the injury thread to discuss the medical aspects of injuries and there treatment, then I can see a separate injury thread.
An injury thread and an NT call-up thread will have completely different side conversations, and I for one don't want to see them jumbled.
Given the fact that you and Siberian almost came to blows over this topic about NT dates, do we want to include it in here as well making it 3 places that we are discussing this one topic?
Well Ive abandoned the original thread and Blue Crimson will keep the new thread updated. I still dont see how there will be a jumble if all ur talking about is the players who wont be available for a specific match. If all ur trying to do is pick ur fantasy team or whatever what difference does it make why a player wont be available. For example, there is one thread for players moves not one each for waived players, players placed on the injured list, discovery players, allocated players. While this thread is unfortunately last to the party, it is a much better idea than either of the two previous threads.
Last week Rampone was reported with seismioditis (inflammation of a bone) in the left toe. She left the WNT camp between the two China games and must have had it even before that camp (according to the USSF "been hampered by a toe injury", "came into camp for rehab with the team’s medical staff"). I asked an orthopedic surgeon about seismioditis and his response was that a flare up can be painful from a couple weeks to a couple of months in a way that would affect her play.
The Equalizer @EqualizerSoccer 2h Paul Riley tells media that Rachel Van Hollebeke is out at least 3-4 weeks (ankle): http://equalizersoccer.com/2014/04/16/rachel-van-hollebeke-sprained-ankle-out-at-least-3-4-weeks/…
I don't have the power to do this, so instead I started a new thread exclusive to national team call-up, by majority demand from this thread.
Meg Linehan @itsmeglinehan 2h Mewis showed up for Breakers “media day” (read: me)/kit unveiling in a walking boot.
ChronDynamo-Dash @ChronDynamoDash 7m Kealia Ohai says she'll be out this weekend with a high ankle sprain. "I should be ready for Seattle next week," she said.
The Equalizer @EqualizerSoccer 11m Tiffany Weimer (left knee sprain) OUT tomorrow for Spirit vs. Seattle. Amanda Frisbie (adductor strain) OUT for Reign.
I hope Frisbie is fine for the Dash game because with the hectic schedule coming up, bench players will play a key role.
Jackie Santacaterina, Chicago Red Stars, who left Saturday's game due to injury is ok...apparently it was just muscle cramping.
WNY. Per Angela Salem on "Soccer is a Kick in the Grass" radio: Haley Palmer's injury is "not too serious," she is “day-to-day,” and, with the bye week, she is expected to play next game (May 3). http://www.soccerisakickinthegrass.com/
