Que another good post Christmas run then. I just pray that's the last we will have seen of this injury on the Admiral

Guess Hughes was a little out with his "Weeks not Months comment".

Yup,from this ITV report

Better than i thought thats he's back for X-mass, I was told he'd be out for the rest of the season. Although he'll probably never fully recover from this injury.

[pleasure]

see you in january then, admiral.

doesnt sound promising. bet pompey are glad they didnt spend 5.5 M on him

(he'dve failed the medical anyway).

[Radagast]

Hmm. Not good news at all. Hopefully this won't end up being one of those injuries that runs on several weeks longer than initially diagnosed and eventually ends his season by the time he's match fit to play a top team game.

[Welshrover1981]

difficult 1st half to the season me thinks. Ahh well Henchoz, neill, brett, zurab, Oiijer, todd mcCeavely will hopefully sought themselves out.

[Hughesy]

Confirmed in the Lancashire telegraph that he could be out for up to 4 months.

Get well soon!

[Presty On Tour]

4 months, this is well bad news!!!

Really good article on the official site on Ryans operation and recovery. Quite graphic in his description of the procedure too. Looks a bit a grim for a xmas return though.

can you not cut and paste it? I simply can't be bothered signing up (yet) again on the official board. It's just not worth it cos I keep forgetting my name and password.

I can offer a few suggestions if you want.

Have you considered selenium and zinc supplements?

From www.rovers.co.uk

Ryan first sustained the injury in a league game with Everton at

Ewood Park last December and despite playing a key role throughout

the rest of the campaign, was unable to fully shake it off.

The Kiwi defender then broke his leg away at Charlton in late April,

but returned for pre-season fully rested and with a positive scan

result to boot. But as the new season approached, Ryan admits that

he perhaps didn't really give it sufficient time to heal and before

long, his initially-torn hamstring attachment had become completely

ripped from the bone.

full story on the official site. Sorry guys, unless Lee says it's fine to cut and paste full articles, we can't do it.

I'm exactly the same. I must have signed up for that site about 50 times!

[RovertheHill]

I'm not sure you want to read it. I feel quite queasy now

[G Somerset Rover]

Thing is, Ryan's not only coming back from this injury-but he also broke his leg at Charlton didn't he? Only a small break-but still a break. Sorry for being pessimistic here, but it may take quite some time-if ever-before we see the Admiral back to his best.

Damn! Thats a bollaxx! In hindsight it would have been a fantastic bit of business to have sold him to Arry's Pompey then wouldn't it?

That's right- they are so backwards, they don't have medicals.

Nelsen says he's way ahead of recovery schedule in award acceptance speach.

[G Somerset Rover]

God I hope that this article is correct. IF he did recover his form of old,which he sounds confident of, then que another good run in the league as I said above.
