A bit of a blow.

Awful signing, hasn't played in 30+ games in 2 of the last 8 seasons. File alongside THD and Little.

It is a blow, Davies is an accomplished centre back at this level and looked really solid last year up until his injury. With Menayese gone and Davies out injured, I think we can all now see the logic of Garner going out and signing two centre backs.
I hope he makes a speedy recovery and is back in January to bolster our defence.

Very good defender on his day but boy does he seem injury prone. May find it hard to get back into the side in 2021 with the new signings plus Harries and Kilgour but fingers crossed he will come back the player he can be.

Is it really, as I assume Ehmer and/or Baldwin were brought in on the basis that he was going to be out. Perhaps it means we're going to be playing 4 at the back after all with Ehmer, Baldwin, Kilrour and Harries fighting for the two CB places? |

Let's have some more players getting injured because they are no longer part of the starting 11 - we'll do well then, in it ! |

He's a very good League One defender, but his last 5 seasons; 2019/20 - 22 Games 2018/19 - 25 Games 2017/18 - 26 Games 2016/17 - 16 Games 2015/16 - 38 Games Averaging 24 games a season in all competitions when we play nearly double that in the league alone isn't great is it? Would your work be happy if you were unable to 50% of the time for your previous employers? |

Has this now been confirmed?
This has been rumoured for about a month or so.

I've currently got the same injury and it's a bloody nightmare, not something you can just wait to heal, you have to actively rehab it and that only works 70% of the time - last resort is surgery to repair the tendons, which is seemingly the route Davies has had to go down. |

No one worth their salt uses Wikipedia for statistics, Marc. 2019/20 - 25 Games (Knee) 2018/19 - 5 Games (Knee), 3 Games (Groin) 2017/18 - 11 Games (Collarbone), 4 (Knee) 2016/17 - 3 Games (Back), 6 Games (Knee) 2015/16 - 9 Games (Knee) That's the games he's missed because of reported injuries per season. |

Yep, and reading PubMed it seems that surgery offers no guarantees either and a Cochrane Review of evidence in 2018 concluded 'We are uncertain if surgery is beneficial over other therapeutic interventions, namely eccentric exercises or injectables. Low-certainty evidence shows that surgery for patellar tendinopathy may not provide clinically important benefits over eccentric exercise in terms of pain, function or participant-reported treatment success, but may provide clinically meaningful pain reduction and treatment success when compared with sclerosing injections'. Wish him well given the uncertainly of this type on injury. |

That doesn't sound good at all, unless KB moves or wakes up that could be two expensive signings on the side lines all season. If the proposed wage cap is brought in next season that means we're down to 20 players over 21 when most other teams will have 22 fit players.
I wonder what this will mean for any player with long term injuries looking for a new club, will any EFL club be prepared to take the risk if squad numbers are so limited in the future?
