Magennis

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

What is going on with him? Struggling to find any real update on his injury

Huge miss. Started the season really well and the trio of him, Newell and JDH was the closest we've come to a fully functioning midfield since SJM/Dylan and Allan

[147lothian]

Magennis is a big miss, I thought the team looked more balanced when he was on one wing and Boyle on the other, we seem easier to defend against when team's realize our game plan is a quick ball to Boyle, I was hoping to see Magennis back for the final but that must be unlikely, I've heard nothing about how he's getting on.

I don't think he's a winger, much better in the middle of the park imo. We seen last season he was wasted out wide.

He was never a winger. Murphy played wide early in the season.

[HibsGW]

Frustrating because he was looking good at the start of this season, a player is no use though when they’re injured all the time so hopefully this isn’t going to be the way his Hibs career goes

[ancient hibee]

Not his fault but if this continues it’ll have been a very poor return over two seasons for a big financial outlay. A pity because comparing his performance was like night and day this season.

[Sean1875]

This Dylan Tait thats coming to us in January, is he of a similar mould to Magennis? Felt it was a bit of an out the blue signing at the time, but I wonder if we had Kyles injury issues in mind when we signed him.

He’s never been a winger in his puff. Played his best stuff early this season at the tip of the midfield. As you say, totally wasted last season when he was shunted out wide. A huge miss for us.

[Crab apple]

As others have said he's not a winger. Do we know when he might return?

[JimBHibees]

Think New year was last predicted return. Think he has injured groin stomach area which is taking longer than initially thought

[lord bunberry]

It’s really frustrating that he’s missed so many games again, he looked like the real deal at the start of the season. I’m not even sure what it is that’s wrong with him but I hope we’re taking a lot of advice around getting him back fit in a way that he doesn’t break down again after a month.

Not got a clue, he's been out for a while and we've missed him, he had a really lively start to the season. And by the way apparently he isn't a winger, even though that's got nothing to do with the OP.

7 outings last season 13 this season and subbed half way through last. JR mentioned groin strain but also said expected back after last international break, didnt materialise. Wonder if rumour re achilles problem is true therefore. Was out for final nine months at Saint M before coming to us. Perhaps then played to soon and was then plagued with repeating hamstring injuries. Can happen but thats some record.

It's a shame firstly for Kyle as it looks like he's some way off from playing football again, and for us a team as we are lacking his qualities in midfield.

[SHODAN]

Hopefully something can be done to fix these recurring injuries, a real shame not least for Magennis himself.

Very frustrating indeed! That doesn’t even fill me with confidence that they have got to the bottom of the issue. At least Campbell is going some way to stepping up and Tait will be in by turn of the year

Is Tait being recalled? Or is it only a half season loan? Wonder if he’s ready?

Only a half season loan and think he’s due to join us after the derby.

Haven’t seen much of him but a lot of people saying he is having a great season so far. The fact we asked Rovers not to cup tie him in the Scottish hopefully indicates he will be fighting for a starting place right away.

[Stevie Reid]

This hugely frustrating pattern has been the case with Kyle for what seems to be a very long time now - misses a couple of games, we're then told he might be fit by the time of some fixture in a couple of weeks, to then be out for absolutely ages.

The crucial difference this season is that he was contributing hugely before this injury, and we have no one else like him in the squad.

Was exactly my thought !!

Says very little sign of progression so agree it sounds like they aren’t really sure what’s causing the issue or you would assume they would be treating it and if not responding getting him seen by a more specialist medical person to pinpoint the nature

I heard they don’t know what is causing the issue but he is (or maybe has by now) going to see a specialist.

[Smartie]

This all sounds very Dylan McGeouch.

Well at least that is more reassuring
I live in Paisley and all the saints fans I know couldn’t believe we gave him a five year contract given his time with them was dogged by injury
They agreed no question he has potential to be a very good player
But they did think to buy him and give him that length of deal was a huge risk when he was still recovering from a significant injury

He's a cracking player. If it wasn't for his injuries I don't think he'd be playing his football in Scotland. Shame for him and us.

says “There’s been little signs of progression but at the moment there’s nothing imminent regarding a return date.”

I read that as there has been small signs its getting better but hes still nowhere near a return date.

Only running on grass hasn’t got passed that Someone else has said he has heard he is sent to see a Specialist so no doubt get an update after that
But as Jack had already said we wouldn’t see him back playing this month am anticipating it’s going to be a lot longer now till they know what they are dealing with
It’s a further blow as he had just begun to show his worth to the team and showed he could get goals

I didn’t know that Ronnie. I assumed his bad injury the season before he joined us was his only one of note. A bit concerning if he is injury prone.

He also missed half the 18/19 season due to injury before doing his cruciate in the 19/20 season before having a stop start 20/21 and now 21/22 with us.

Have to assume our medical guys checked him out and thought he was a reasonable bet to recover But it’s been stop start with us
Really hope it gets sorted and we get a full season out him next season

Absolutely. No point in having ability if he’s not fit for any length of time.

[HH81]

Does not sound good based on that update.

[Highwayman]

This latest information on Kyle Magennis,goes some way to answering a question I had concerning Josh Campbell

I was wondering with Campbell being awarded a long term contract what role JR had in mind for him.

Going on what we saw earlier in the season the first pick central midfield (if all fit and available) would be Doyle- Hayes,Magennis and Newell.So where would Campbell have fitted in.

From the latest report it seems possible that we won’t be seeing Magennis again this season.Campbell therefore has a great opportunity to cement his place in the team.

Good for Josh.Bad for Kyle.

[lord bunberry]

We’re starting to get to the stage where like last season he’s going to be put away in the hope he’s fit for next season. He looks a big strong lad as well, it’s strange that he’s so injury prone.

[ahibby]

Cant see a groin issue going beyond three months to heal on its own if goes longer then would smack of something else.
I had one and was out for about three months and came good itself, so fingers crossed by January hes back but most likely after winter break.

[tmb1875]

I wonder how much we’ve shelled out over the piece for Murphy and magennis, knowing full they have a history of being out injured and handing out decent contracts regardless. Not had much to show for what around 0.5-1million so far transfers, loan fee, signing on fees, agents fees, medical costs and wages all rolled in.

I don't think a groin issue is keeping him out for 6 more months. He'll play again this season.

Murphy had 1 major injury. He has made over 500 career appearances. The idea that we willingly signed him knowing he'd struggle is untrue.

Magennis is a quality player, and well worth the risk. He'll be fine long term.

Interesting point tbf.

We've slaughtered this summer's transfer business.

Should we be looking more closely at the previous summer? And the 2 summers before that? We probably should.

We've been very good in recent years at righting wrongs in January but I guess we should be asking questions about the return we've had on some of our bigger buys during the summer windows.

Murphy Not available for 7 games this season and 24 games last season. Think we can all see he’s got knee and hamstring injuries unfortunately.
Magennis unavailable for 9 this season and 24 last season. I like both players btw. the risk has defo not paid off with Murphy but hopefully we can sort magennis out as he could develop into a top player.

Definitely, hope we now have a more thorough and structured way of looking at transfers. I don’t mind mistakes being made as long as there learning from it and we see progress. We still seem unable to offload players that don’t work out or are not contributing to the 1st team. It was clear as day after couple games that drey Wright was no good so get him moved on the next window, same with the lad McKay this season after couple games you could see he wasn’t ready for us, should have been sent out on loan right away to continue his development, hallberg gogic mackie gullan all need moved on asap use the development team as back up. The only way we will see if they’re good enough is if they’re thrown in to 1st team football a la josh Campbell.

Unfortunately there certainly are groin conditions that can take months. In fact, it’s over 25 years ago but my son had one that finished his career. A thing called Osteitis Pubis, sometimes called Glasgow groin as it was common in young players brought up on blaze pitches. Plenty top players had the same condition and went on to have successful careers though. Not suggesting that’s what McGennis suffers from, it’s just one of many conditions that take time.

[cameronw-hfc]

Groin injuries can take a long, long time to heal. I had one that bothered me for no joke about 2 and a half years. Went to 2 different physio and the clubs own physio, eventually got it sorted but remember the club physio explaining that if not caught straight away groin injuries can be incredibly tricky to get rid of. I could run, jog, sprint all okay, but anytime I went to kick the ball I was in bits. Imagine if it's taking a while it might be something similar, albeit with way better resources to get it fixed, but not too surprising unfortunately imo to see him struggling to get back from it.
