    Was an unmitigated disaster rushing him back, by all parties including himself.

    Rodgers isn't the one that hires our medical dept. Our terrible injury record lies at the feet of Desmond et al

    I won't blame Rodgers but he has history of playing players into the ground even though they have minor injuries. Not sure that is the case now though.

    Also had the same mysterious insane amount of hamstrings in his last stint here. Could be coincidence mind you.

    Crazy that’s probably 2 of our back line out for the season and however long Saracchi is out as well . Just have to get to the window and see how we are and hopefully get some bodies in , although not that hopeful after the shitshow of a summer window .

    I think that now makes 23 positions a priority in the window.

    Rushed back because we don't have a decent enough backup.

    Just dreadful news. Worst possible news. Looks like Johnston, CCV and Osmand now all done or pretty much done for the season.

    About the only consolation I can think of with this is that given Johnston is now likely done for the season or pretty close to it that more then likely he doesn't leave in the summer as he will just need to get fully fit and back into playing regularly to build himself back up to his best first next season so more then likely he stays for next season with us.

    Love his enthusiasm. Hope he makes it back so that he can help with the run in for us and play in the World Cup Finals for Canada. If anybody deserves that to happen its Johnston.
