KIERAN LEE SET TO SEE SPECIALIST AGAIN.


Recommended Posts

Wednesday midfielder Kieran Lee is set to see a specialist again as he continues to struggle with a hip problem

 

 

 

Lee was one of nine senior players who missed Friday’s defeat to Championship leaders Wolverhampton Wanderers due to injury. 

 

The 29-year-old has been hampered by his troublesome hip throughout the season, making just 10 starts and five substitute appearances. 

 

It will be the second time Lee, an integral figure in the Owls reaching back-to-back play-offs, has visited a specialist in the space of five months regarding the injury. 

 

Goalkeeper Keiren Westwood and midfielder Barry Bannan (both groin) will also be assessed this week.  

 

“We will see what happens over the next few days,” said head coach Carlos Carvalhal. “We will have some scans, and maybe they will be okay. Let’s see.” 

 

Westwood and Bannan were pencilled to start against Wolves but were forced to withdraw because of their injuries. 

 

Carvalhal said: “We prepared the team with Barry on Thursday. He was inside, he did everything and was going to play. But at the last moment of training, he jumped and felt a very strong. He was very bad at that moment and the physios took care of him.  

 

“After one or two hours, he was better and we felt he would probably recover to play on Friday. But when he woke up on Friday, he felt very bad again so he couldn’t play. 

 

“Westwood was also down to play. But after the warm up, he said he felt pain in the groin and that he couldn’t kick the ball.” 

 

Wednesday, who have not won since November 4, remain 10 points adrift of the play-off positions after the weekend’s fixtures.

There was something that Carlos came out with last season that went largely unnoticed.

 

When asked why Lee had started 2 games in a week it was something along the lines of "he insisted on it"

 

we let let a player overrule the medical staff.

 

If true... wtf

I begin to fear the worse over Kieran Lee's long term future with this injury. I hope I'm wrong, I like him as a player.

I was told last season by someone well connected to the club that the medical staff were genuinely worried about the injury and that he might have to pack in. Apparently it's the exact same injury that forced Roy Keane to retire.

 

So with that in mind, I was very surprised to see him come back like he did and was worried that he'd pay the price in the long run. His lack of appearances this season is no surprise. I'm genuinely worried for him now. 

 

I really hope he can get fit and come back as good as ever, he's been superb for us.

Or another lie from Carlos. 

 

He rushed Lee back towards the end of season because he made a right balls up of our promotion push. Looked destined for 10th place until he got Lee and Hooper back playing.

 

Terrible management and now Lee is suffering in the long run.

If the medical staff have advised a player not to play and he does then you cant have any blame attached to the medical staff.

Would also thought this would invalidate any insurance.

Carlos rushed Lee back despite our physios saying he wasn't ready. They got him back fit at the managers request. 

 

Overplaying Hutchinson in the first season has now buggered him for good.

Sorry i don’t think I agree with this overplaying business, he’s a professional footballer he’s either fit enough to be one or he isn’t 

 

plain and simple sorry, these lads get paid a phenomenal amount of money
