Ben Venn's Injury Table

How'd Krishna injury his ankle? Was it a tackle?

Rolled ankle, not sure when it happened, but can't remember a foul on him. Pretty sad for Krishna, damn.

Vince Lia out 2-3 weeks with medial ligament strain.

At least he'll be busy for one of those weeks serving his suspension!

I posted something like this last year...

Cumulative number of games missed by Nix players due to injuries, suspensions, and int duty.

Not surprising that R9 is where it started to hit the fan this season.  Even just looking at injuries, players have missed 38 games to date. Last year at same stage it was 14. 23 in 2013/14. We've only had three games where the whole squad was available. R1, R4 and R9.

Only once had the same starting XI in consecutive games - R2 and R3. And Dura was missing in both of them.

Sad news for Phoenix youngster James McGarry; he needs knee surgery and will be out for 5-6 months @ALeague

Gutted for the kid

A knee surgery at 17, jeez. Knees normally turn into a recurring injury as well.

ACL? Anyone know?

Surgeon, physio, rehab, mental strength, properly managed return, and a slice of luck. It's the whole box of dice required to comeback from major surgery. Good luck to him, he's sacrificed a lot already.

Suspected hammy tear for Doyle

So Parkhouse for LB? We might have to sign up Ryan Lowry and hope he makes the grade now.

Poor bludy Doyle, just when it looked like this would be his season. Hope its minor.

Wellington Phoenix say defender Tom Doyle is out 10-14 days with hamstring strain.

So potentially ready for either the Phoenix or NZ. I wonder if we risk flying him out to the US and aggravating the injury? 

Hearing Mikey McGlinchey's injury might keep him out of next couple of Phoenix games #ALeague

— Jason Pine (@pineyzb) November 13, 2016

Out for 6-7 weeks apparently

And that's why we need all the depth in midfield.

If anyone missed it or is curious Ridenton didn't do ACL, jarred knee. Was on crutches leaving stadium.. Still unsure how long. #MVCvWEL

— Clement Tito (@ClementGTito) April 2, 2017

That sounds promising, was rather worried he might be out for awhile.

Glad it's not as serious then!

"Phoenix co-coach Des Buckingham is reasonably sure Ridenton hasn't done his ACL. Not sure where Fox got that from"

We wish Louis a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him back on the field!

Hang in there Louie. Come stand up in the Zone if you get bored in the corporatre boxes.

Some troll on insidesport was saying that there was already a deal for the Nix to release Louis so he can play for Macarthur next year. I repeat this rumour only for entertainment purposes.

I see your problem right there!

Any news on David Ball's injury?

Back-up Phoenix left-back Walter Scott is currently sidelined with an injury, which explains why he hasn't featured for the reserves lately. Was seen leaving training in a knee brace today.

— Phillip Rollo (@ByPhillipRollo) January 23, 2020

Can confirm he has suffered a minor knee strain and the knee brace was used as a precaution. Was at training today receiving treatment. https://t.co/hGJBXgcB2Z
