CJGJ Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) More injury woes Aidan Keena and Callumn Morrison ruled out for the season Two players who will most definitely not make the Scottish Cup final with the Hoops are Aidan Keena and Callumn Morrison, after Levein revealed that the duo have been ruled out for the rest of the season with eerily similar knee injuries. It is a hammer-blow for the promising pair, who would both have been part of Hearts’ plans for the run-in. Keena started the semi-final win over Inverness, while Morrison has made 36 appearances this season. “Callumn [Morrison] and Aidan Keena both picked up cartilage injuries last week,” revealed Levein. “They are both due to go for operations this week and will not play again this season. “I feel for both of them. They are young lads who had opportunities. Callumn has taken his opportunity quite well. His performances have maybe tailed off a bit recently but he was good earlier in the season. “Aidan looked like he was going to be round about things on the bench, maybe getting some game time in the last five or six games, but that is now knocked on the head.” Edited April 18, 2019 by CJGJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, theres unlucky and there is whatever this is. By my count, Berra Souttar, Uche Naismith, Dikamona Haring Mitchell Naismith Smith Godinho Wighton Brandon Garuccio Morrison Keena 13 serious injuries? I think we seriously need to review how we're going about things. Are players not being given adequate recovery time? Are they not fit enough and so pushing themselves to injury? Are we training on a shit surface? I know most of these have been ingame injuries but nonetheless the volume goes beyond being able to just chalk up as 'bad luck'. And I'm 90% sure i've missed a couple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swanny17 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 This really can’t be coincidence.

It always seems to affect the attacking players more than anyone else we have to bring through a few of the younger players from the under 20’s - I would rather we played some young lads in the remaining league games as I would swop right now losing the last 5 league games for having a team we can at least put out in the cup final to win if we lose anymore 1st team players we are going to be in bother - get the kids in and rest uche haring Berra where possible leading up to the final - we need our big players on the day and this is far more important than going from 6th to 5th in the league for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboGraham Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Of the 31 players to make first team appearances in the league for us this season 19 of them (so far) will have missed matches this season through injury....19!!!!! Included in this 19 are 7 who were selected for every other league match they were actually available to play in (Naismith, Uche, Berra, Souttar, Haring, Smith and Mitchell). As a result of injuries these 7 players have been unavailable for a total of 78 league matches between them this season. I don’t care how anyone tries to dress it up that is utter devastation to a league campaign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramrod Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 If anybody at our club is putting this amount of serious injuries down to just bad luck they are seriously deluded . Something just isn't right here and needs looked at as a matter of urgency. There is patently something or things we are doing wrong .

Dunno if it was his knee, but it rings a bell. Stupid to play him even for the wee team if that's the case. Folk getting knee injuries left & right, is rather odd to say the least.

neilnunb Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 It has to be more than just bad luck. I remember when Man Utd were playing not long ago the commentators said Ole had cut down on the amount of running the players were doing during training and theiir injury list had started improving. Maybe we're working them too much? Recall Levein saying they had Vanecek doing extra running as part of his fitness regime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun.lawson Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 1. If Spurs can beat Man City despite almost all their key players being crocked, Hearts can beat Neil Lennon's Celtic despite almost all our key players being crocked. 2. It genuinely might just be bad luck. I know that sounds nuts - but it's only when clubs have constant injury crises over a period of years that something more can be read into it. Right now, any evidence against the training methods etc is circumstantial at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwidoug Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Simply can't believe this. I put it down to sheer bad luck and feel heart sorry for the players. I just wonder if we're saving all our good luck for the final. The shot that takes a massive selection and goes in. Celtic missing the inevitable penalty. That kind of thing. We're certainly due a massive dollop of good luck. Only 35 days to go here in the Antipodes. Played on the 26th our time. Can't wait. Not remotely concerned about our opposition. Much more concerned about the referee, whoever it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
