I admire your optimism- but won’t hold my breath. Back, hip, groin, ribs, groin. Pelvis, etc etc. for a young professional sportsman he has one hell if an injury prone body. I’ll be amazed to see him on the pitch again, but stranger things have happened at Palace over the years.

quite right, what with modern technology, you're probably old enough to remember the six million dollar man, you know what they said about Steve Austin, " we can rebuild him." Fingers crossed.
Scotland
Not sure what the back injury was about but probably not sport related and he recovered from it. The rib fracture was a freak injury. I’m not sure either of these is an indication that he’s “injury prone” as a footballer. The hip and groin stuff is similar to Wharton and seems prevalent in young players. Hopefully he’s over the worst and we’ll see him and Wharton being eased back to fitness over the coming months.
