Morgs said post match that Ben Cockayne had picked up a strain but a poster on our Main Forum has just posted that he has done a Metarsal again and will be out for 6 weeks.
Fingers crossed for the former and hopefully he has got it wrong.

Ben has confirmed it on his Facebook page.
Gutted for him.

Me too, personally thought we missed his enthusiasm and go forward at the end of last year.

Said he did it during his 1st touch of the game but thought he could run it off and played to Half Time
We forget how tough players have to be sometimes.

Unlucky for (as he would say) "lad" we'll miss him. Take a lot more calcium Ben!

Read his facebook again......

He will be out for 2 weeks max, he reckons he will be training in a week. NOT broken, not anything to worry about.


Hospital put him in a cast and thought he had broken it - then went to see a specialist, who took the cast off because he hadnt actually broken it....

Makes me think that maybe sometimes the docs shouldnt rush people through at hospital!!!

would have been a lightweight cast, not a plaster one, keeping the pressure off it

which in turn will aid recovery time

nope ive spoken to Ben, it was a full cast as they said he had broken it and would be out between 6-8 weeks.

Hes seen specialist and its not broken - and told him not to train for 2 weeks; Ben has said he'll stay off it for a week and hes going back to full training as he needs to fight for a starting place.

What's his favourite jacket potato filling?

Cheese.... next question about any player... and illl answer it "truthfully"


Infact this could be a good off season topic
