benkovic injured in warm up

[treer]

Missed Celtic's game today, after sustaining injury in warm up

[Blue ROI]

Puel out or something.

[Bournemouthfox10]

real shame and they suffered a defeat today. hope he isn't out for too long. always wish our loanees well, especially those who cost double figures in the million pound stakes.

[brucey]

Sounds more precautionary than anything. Some celtic fans alleging that it was a convenient excuse to avoid playing on the plastic pitch

[jayfox26]

I thought him going to Celtic would be a good move but they really are crap! Many joke about the quality of Scottish football but it really is one of the worst leagues in Europe. Good if he gets regular game time but will be difficult to judge his abilities when he's playing alongside and against utter dross (barring one or 2 celtic players like Tierney who are decent) 

[Hanan96]

This must be Puel fault. 

Puel out!!

He will also get European games, not CL,but the other level,is just as good to test your game for higher expectations.Plus the game pressure

At Celtic with 50k supporters.Now Celtic are struggling,he can make a name for himself.

No he Puelled out in the warm up 

[Babylon]

Was is his achilles that he'd had problems with before, because he was meant to be a bit injury plagued.

[weller54]

Mendyovic! 

[Foxxed]

They're playing on Wednesday and Saturday so we can see how he's doing. What's their sports science like up there? Perhaps he'd enjoy a season long loan...

[mozartfox]

Rather he is treated back at Leicester (given our physio team is truly excellent) to stop a fast becoming desperate Brendon Rogers forcing him into playing too early, resulting in a more serious setback. 

 

The SPL really is a pub-league when teams can have plastic pitches.  

[Grebfromgrebland]

Maybe he should've warmed up before the warm up!

[Lovejoy]

Looking forward to next week's Benkovic thread.

I blame Rudkin. Rudkin out

[mozartfox]

Given he missed another game following the pre-match warm up on a dodgy plastic pitch, I sincerely hope we inform Celtic he is not to be played on any other plastic surfaces during his loan spell.

[mozartfox]

Any news on his injury?   Missed the stuffing in Salzburg tonight.

[Foxxed]

Recall in Jan unless one of the u21s suddenly become prem standard.

[ealingfox]

Started today v St. Johnstone, 6 mins in.

[mozartfox]

I know this is the Pub League but he has had to good attacking headers from corners and it is quite refreshing to see one of ‘our’ CB’s player forward passes.  Must be recalled.

[mozartfox]

Blimey St Johnston’s defence is rank. This could be a 10 nil-job.

[ealingfox]

Good grief. What a dog muck league.

You are not wrong there.  I think our U23’s would give SJ a going over.

Poor league, but gives him an idea of the physicality of the league and the style we want to play. All great experience to get under his belt
