Magennis out for another 6 weeks

What exactly is the nature of his injury(s), I've never seen anything specific mentioned in all the time he's been out.

This deserves a thread of its own. Couldn’t make Thursday night, but heard the bones of it at the game yesterday!

I don't usually worry but Magennis has made one substitute appearance in the last two months and there has been no mention of the nature of his injury.
Not expected back until the end of next month which is code for not sure when he will be back.
I had hoped he would be playing every week by this stage but he obviously still has issues that are holding him back.

Exactly why I am concerned. I'm away for a wee search to see if we were told in January when this latest injury period began.
The poor guy must be gutted.

Hopefully Newell is back fully fit for the Motherwell game.

It’s a joke. So disappointing. You can tell he’s class when he’s fit.

Yup. A fully fit Magennis, Boyle and Nisbet and we're 3rd

[Diclonius]

Still another two years on his contract.

[PHeffernan]

Before the Kilmarnock game a month ago LJ stated that Magennis was in a good place and training well.
He came on and played the last 27 minutes against Kilmarnock on the 18th February and we haven't seen him since.
Looks like he was injured in training between the Kilmarnock and Livingston games and there has been no mention of him in match previews by the manager or his assistants. All very concerning and no chance of an update for another 11 days.

There have been a couple of passing mentions of Magennis during the pre-match press conferences in recent weeks.

During the pre-match press conference for Livingston, Johnson was asked if Magennis was out and he stated ‘Yeah, Magennis is out. He’s had an injection and we’ll see how that settles down’

Then in the press conference ahead of the Celtic game, Jamie McAllister said ‘We’re just waiting on a few things for Joe Newell and Kyle Magennis. Kyle seen someone the other day so hopefully it will progress quite quickly with that one.’

We seem to be treating an awful lot with “injections”.

I’d have thought that might be a useful short term measure to get someone to play through the pain barrier before being able to rest or carry out more definitive treatment but at risk of aggravating a pre-existing problem?

"Injections" does not necessarily mean local anaesthetic to get through the pain barrier which I'd be very surprised would be as common now as maybe 20-30 years ago. Ethically immoral. Probably more likely an anti-inflammatory - more direct and a tad more effective than a couple of ibuprofen.

He’d missed plenty games every season of his career. It didn’t take Mystic Meg to tell us a guy who was frequently injured at his previous club was likely to carry on that way.

Mystic Meg couldn’t really see the future by the way, but even she could’ve taken a look at his injury record, looked at the fact he hadn’t even returned from his current long term injury, and thought…I’d not go spending much money here.

Rather than, 5 year contract sounds about right.

Mystic Meg actually passed away last week. I wonder if she knew her time was up?
I see she is still doing the horoscopes in the sun even now. I don’t know if that’s spooky or impressive.

Has it not not been regular hamstring injuries ? Think the one last season was more of an abdominal injury but kept him out for months. Really feel for the guy but also us as he is an excellent player and fit he would imo hugely improve our team. We do seem to be having a fair number of hamstring injuries recently

Was surprised when Johnson mentioned that though caveat that with I have no idea how injuries are generally treated.

[hibee-boys]

Looks like we’ll have no choice but to just let Magennis see out his contract as no club will take a chance on him unless it’s very low wages. Pity as he’ll be costing our club plenty ££££ in wages/medical costs for very little return!

Neither did I to be honest though even at Mcgeady's age I still think he can come back from his injury and play for us next season . One that has me more worried is Kyle Magennis, for a young player he seems to be constantly picking up injuries.

Positive news to hear Joe Newell is nearing a return to fitness, he’ll provide good cover in case we are without Jeggo, Egan-Riley, Campbell or JDH.

Good cover? Is that a sly dig at JN?

[Not In The Know]

Best news is Fish will be in the team for the Motherwell game

Newell goes straight back in the team if available.

KM is pretty much never going to be fit again.

Still 4 weeks away. Not good.

Reckon ER will drop out, but I don't think he should. No chance we're dropping Campbell or Jeggo in my opinion.

He'll go to right back if JN comes back in.

Those who are surprised that Newell would go straight back in have quickly forgotten the Rangers game where be was a massive miss. Nobody got their foot on the ball that night in the way he and JDH do.

It will be horses for courses. Good to have options, especially if the positive noises around JDH continue.

[Garymcl]

It’s Motherwell we’re playing at home simple we need the most attack minded midfielders keeping in mind Elie is suspended no need for any defensive mids

Where was that “foot on the ball” in Newell’s previous 3 games against the old firm in which we conceded 13 goals?
