Injury Watch

jd last man off the field tonite classic jd!

its bad for lynch tho!

lynch look bad yeah?
dont say the knee word??

Lynch named in team, Bolton back in.

Lynch definitely picked up a knee injury in training tonight. It could have just been a jar, we may wait and see.

I doubt he will feature myself.

Hughie's in a spot of bother, apparently. Bad news for the lad.

Is hughie's injury as bad as some are making out? Let's hope flynn is ready. Great news on jd

Heard Lynch will be in trouble for Saturday alright.

Are these eye witness reports or hear say?

Can anyone confirm they saw Lynch get injured and Johnny train?

Sorry now but my nerves are shot and all this rumour will be the death of me!

Hugh Lynch won't play any part in Kildare's All-Ireland football qualifier against Meath tomorrow, despite being named in Kieran McGeeney's starting XV.

The Confey clubman suffered a knee injury in training and his place at midfield is expected to be taken by Darryl Flynn. The news comes as a huge blow to the Lilywhites after Lynch's man of the match performance in last weekend's rout of Laois, which was decorated by three monstrous points from play in the second half.

There are fears that the player may have damaged his cruciate, but this has yet to be confirmed. Kildare have already lost Dermot Earley for the season with a cruciate injury, while Mikey Conway is only just returning from a similar injury after a two-year layoff.

Better news for Kildare is that Lynch's midfield partner against Laois, John Doyle, came through training last night without any problems, having been rated as an injury doubt earlier in the week.

Just heard confirmation on KFM that Hugh Lynch is out of game.. Wish him well on his recovery!

Peter Kelly
Dermot Earley
Willie Heffernan
Ken Donnelly
& Now Hugh Lynch

all knee injuries.

We get no luck.

Umpire, its not known yet if it is as serious as a cruciate and being friday evening, we probably won't know untill monday or tueasday.

Also, you may say its bad luck but there seems to be a number of underlying conditions that are causing an increase in cruciate injuries, this was touched on wednesday night on the Commitee Room if anybody seen it...

a consultant mentioned things like ground conditions (dry & hard well drained pitches) Blade booths, and the lack of education in gaelic games on teaching players how to try and paractice good jumping and turning moves to try and reduce this particular injury.

And mark o sullivan.

hope hughs is not cruiate related.
How is ken donnelly actually,he must be nearly back by now?

Id have to agree with you on this pure,something has to be causing these.Ground conditions may well be a reason that i hadnt thought about before.The sand based drained pitches are great in the winter but in the summer there far from ideal.
I dont really buy into the idea that its blades,doesnt make sense to me.

Jaysus , it's an absolute roller coaster. You just never know what is coming next. In the last two games against Meath , Hughie Lynch has been phenomenal. I hope that it is not the cruciate.

Anyway , Kildare by 4 to 6 points. You would still have to be confident.

is there rumours that it is the cruciate?thats ana bsoluate disaster if it is!!

Jayus lads take lynch out of the middle,and this will be hard to win,he was becoming the next Dermot.
This will be hard to take,up spets Dayrl now its time for him to shine..

This is awful news.
I always feel so sorry for players who do that bloody cruciate cause they're out for so long with it. Fingers crossed it's not the cruciate though.

He's going to be a massive loss especially if Doyle is still carrying a bit of a knock.
Will Daryl Flynn come straight in or do yee see anyone else been put in the middle?

Very unfortunate for Hugh.

Conor Brophy might be an option.

Word is that it's a medial ligament injury.

If thats true,its not that bad 4-6 weeks off

If that is the case rgb he would not be gone for season.

It's still 6-8 week injury if it's a complete tear.

I really feel for Hugh having done the dreaded cruciate before myself, but I really would have no worries about throwing Flynn straight into the mix and performing.

Even a slight pull to the Medial ligament is so sore that you would be screaming, So it could look worse to people than it actually is. Please God its not the ACL.

There is a serious amount of nerves on this forum this week, the rumour mill always cranks it up as the nervousness increases.
