Genuinely don’t know the reason or the injury - but heard today he is out for the season 

If that is what transpires, it really is shocking bad luck, for us and mainly of course for him. Whatever it it’s, obviously first and foremost you have to hope he makes a full recovery.

If the rumour is true that he is out for the season, & that’s a big if as it isn’t confirmed yet, you would have to think there is something pretty serious going on with this infection, particularly around the quietness regarding it at the club. Hopefully he gets well soon & we can look forward to seeing him on the pitch.

WOW..............the sensitive nature of his illness.....must be really extreme?

 

If it was directly a football related issue then I'm sure it would be reported to the fans/press per every other injury.

But for anything else, i.e. illness, I guess standard employee/employer confidentiality applies, and Ross doesn't want everyone and his mother knowing what the problem is.

I suppose all that City can do is to report how long they expect him to be out for when they know, unless he gives them permission to disclose further details.

This is highly unlikely to be a straight forward infection .

Post viral fatigue/long Covid/mental health issue.

I guess if they don’t feel it appropriate to tell us  and it may well not be ,then speculation will continue .

As for the medicals at this level ,they rarely have enough time to cover everything thouroughly.In the premier league they often have a full day with scans as normal part of procedure .

Can we not speculate on what McCrorie has.  It’s crass.

 

Agreed, but if he is out for a substantial period of time then the club may as well say that to fans and media, otherwise the question is going to come up time and again.

Pearson has already said that surgery may be required. 

So this speculation isn't even logical. 

The matter was referred to initially, more than once, as "delicate" and Pearson said this week  in no uncertain terms, that it's a private matter and not for public discussion.

So you don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to get a reasonable idea what the problem might involve. 

Not that we'll ever know - and why should we? We've been told politely it's none of our business. 

The fact we quickly signed someone on loan - on loan! - who can cover that position should also tell you we won't be seeing McCrorie any time soon.

Let's all move on.

What question is there to ask again and again? The question’s been asked and answered - he has a bacterial infection, it’s a private medical situation, and the club doesn’t know how long he will be out. So he’s not available until we hear different.

IF, as has been suggested, the club knows he's out for the season, they should say so. IF that isn't the case and they do not know how long he will take to recover, they could also say that.

No one's asking to see his medical notes.

Pearson said in his last pre match presser that he didn’t know how long he would be out. Personally not convinced we need a daily update.

 We don't. But perhaps something more official might be needed to address the rumours that he is going to miss the whole season. If it's as serious as is being suggested here, but they do not know the precise timeframe, something like "McCrorie faces a substantial period on the byline because of an infection" would suffice. "I don't know when he's back," could mean he's back next week.

I think everyone understands it might be a while as Pearson said he might need an op too at that same presser. As for the rumour that he’s out for the season, who knows where that came from - may have come from a bloke on Facebook! Seems unlikely that anyone knows if no definite decision made on treatment yet (op or no op).

An incredibly upsetting situation for both the player and club. I was very much looking forward to seeing his high energy approach. Really hope it isn’t overly serious and the rumours are not true re season end. 

And the supporters.

Like you and many others, I was looking forward to see if McCrorie would live up to expectations and help the team to progress substantially this season.

If Pearson said “he’s out for at least four months” you could still say it doesn’t answer the question. If they don’t know what difference does it make if an arbitrary timescale is put on it or a non-descript timescale such as substantial (how long is that?) and what difference does it make to us as fans? I would imagine the club are more concerned about the player welfare than consulting medical journals to inform us about the timeframe he’s possibly going to be out?

They will be, and as I say, no one is demanding they know confidential medical details about players, but we've quite often only had networks of rumours and supposedly ITK posters to find out if injury absences are going to be short-term, very long term or whole season out. 

@eardun reminded me that the club doesn't yet know if surgery is needed, so  the uncertainty about how serious this infection is in this case may be understandable. 

If we do know he'll be out for the season I'd - as a fan - quite like to be told, rather than relying on the rumour mill.

Out until January/February 2024... 

Looking at the list of players to return in the next 8-10 weeks, I can see why the club might be asking him to shuffle the pack and give some of the youngsters minutes until those players start to become available too. A squad that contains Weimann, Benarous and Conway would look a lot stronger, Atkinson may be available by Xmas too.

Yes hernia op leaves 3 small holes ,no big scar anymore.But can still get infected I guess.

Infected Ingrowing toenail could drag on  ,but who knows ,clearly not minded to let us in on the secret.

Tell that to my 6 inch hernia scar

Ps: my vasectomy scars are bigger !!

It must have been at least 2 months since all this first broke, i wonder why the op has only just been done?

Sometimes if an injury is rare or unusual it can take a while to get the required specialists all in the same place at the same time.

Because there were other treatment options. And if they'd been successful, his recovery would have been quicker. It's what medication was invented for! Surgery was the last resort because we no longer live in the Middle Ages.
