Onuoha being out for that long is a real headache.
He has played pretty much every game for 4 years.
When he first joined he had injury problems, he was always pulling his hamstring but he had clearly sorted his issues out.
The concern now is that he can't be rushed back as he'll keep suffering the same fate and may now have a weakness again in that area, especially as he is a bit older.
We need Caulker to earn his corn now. We have a defender on our books once deemed good enough to play for England. Come on sort yourself out Caulker.
Freeman being out would be frustrating as he is a key player but at least we have more options in that area, a chance for Ngbakoto or Osayi-Samuel to come in.
Freeman and scowen picking up knocks is a real concern too,both been superb for us We are pretty much buggered in defence and who the hell is going to come in to replace our defensive injuries We are never lucky with injuries ,in a way it's good we haven't got a midweek game
The only possible good sign with Freeman was he was walking normally when I saw him after the game and was chatting to him when he said it wasn't anything to be too worried about, hopefully that turns out to be the case!

I thought the same when I heard how serious the Chief's injury is. A hamstring tear from the bone is very bad and at his age it will require a slow, closely monitored recovery. Wish him well. Caulker does indeed have to step up, and I would love to know what is going on behind the scenes in regard to his training and plans to increase his match-fitness. We definitely need him ready to play now or for him to step away from the club so we can get someone on a free!
