Joseph and Gabriel

Well they're running around and kicking balls so hopefully yes. I'm no expert but I would imagine a game situation is several gears higher in terms of stress on muscles and joints, and the LAST thing either of these lads needs is too early a reintroduction, and further injury.
Watching that I really felt for them, and I hope it's not too long before they're both in tangerine again.
 
All positive but please don’t rush them back too soon, better they wait till they are sure than risk them breaking down like Lav’s appears to have done Joseph and Gabriel are potentially game changers for us as is Andy Lyon’s so to have those 3 back fully fit will be massive

Yeah I think if they were anywhere near they would have got 30 mins in that development squad.
Can't see them being back before the end of next month - and how strange will it be to have a fully fit squad!

Better than the January return that most thought … be interesting to see how Gabriel fits back in to the side - thought he was excellent when he came back at the end of last season.
 
Can't wait to see Gabriel and Lyons as our regular starting wingbacks.

And hope Joseph lives up to the hype of a few seasons ago.
I'd prefer to see them both on the right. Probably Lyons as RWB and JG further up. The interchanges between them would be very creative.

Though the probability is AL will be the LWB I'd rather sort the LWB out and let the lad develop in his natural position.
 
It'll be a nice problem to have when JG is back & match fit. Just hope there are no re-occurrences, which is always a worry. As for KJ I'm eager to see what he can offer.
 
The good thing about Andy Lyons is he's perfectly comfortable with either foot which is pretty unusual. So he could play Critch's inverted wing back role on either side and still be able to deliver a decent cross which is rare for an inverted w/b.

It seems that he's just injury prone full stop. I've never fallen off a stool and given myself an injury that has kept me off work for months.

Nor me either. But I’m not an elite athlete & perhaps that incident whatever happened was a total freak. But this time & last it’s been the dreaded hamstring so perhaps you are right. You're more likely to injure your hamstring if you've injured it before.
