When is Jonny back fit?

[Mile End Wanderer]

We could desperately do with Jonny back fit. He will be like a new signing on the right hand side. Anyone got any info on the Spaniard??

 

[Joshwolf218]

I’d say earliest spring, don’t rush back from an ACL

The most underrated player in our team, possibly the league. Absolute class

 

[The Weasel]

I'm sure I've read end Feb earliest somewhere, but he'd need a mini pre-season to get match fit again so read early April I guess. We might see him for the last 6 or 7 games at a push.

Can't see the Pod in the warm up though. Can anyone spot him?

Only that he is back in training so shouldn’t be too long

 

[waltononthehillwolf]

Brill thanks

 

[Tipton Wolves]

Is he in training? Pretty much everyone is on that video but he isnt.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Hopefully because all they’ve done all week is practice clearing set pieces and not touching people in the ****ing box

 

[yateleywolf]

Good to see Raul back in there with them

So Podence and Jonny back in training, chances on either being available for Wednesday?

Indeed it is - you sometimes don't miss something until it's not there! Top, top player.

Cant see jonny been back till mid Feb.

 

[Contrarian]

And Saiss, Dendonker and loads of other players who become world class the longer they are out injured! Dave Edwards, another. Would be back for 2 matches before was getting slagged off again. I'm sure I remember Nenad Milijas was going to save us too, back in the Mick days. Then he returned and seeing him actually play, we realised what daft fools we'd been!

Anyway, always had Jonny as the most underrated player in the current team...with Saiss second.

It's going to take Jonny weeks to get match fitness back, and I'm not even sure he's doing contract training yet. He'll play in the U23s before making a full comeback, I'd imagine.

Podence won't have lost so much fitness but will still need time and may not start a game immediately either.

 

[Wolves Heathen]

I saw Jonny in the training video doing physical training with the other guys, but i didnt see him playing in the short game section so it seems he is not doing contact training yet.

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

Does he look a bit chunkier or is it all the clothing he's got on?

You might be right but I'm pretty sure Nuno never plays any senior player returning from injury in the under 23s to get them match fit. He always gets them match fit through training and training alone. I think he even said this in an interview once. Agree it's going to be quite a few weeks before Jonny is in the match day squad.

 

[lets all have a disco]

Surely jonny will play an u23 game before he is ready for the first team..... It looks good but I would say he is probably still a month away...

Yeah re Jonny hard to know what stage of training he's at with short clips. Not sure he'll play in the under 23s though Nuno's never done that with injured players has he?

Podence was back in training mid last week at least though wasn't he? So surely has to be close, as he was only out for a few weeks.

 

[Gold and black keys]

We have missed him terribly. A fine player

 

[SWest Wolf]

He’s built like a brick out house. He’s solid. His thighs are the size of my waist!

HaHa! Hindsight Wanderers would win the league at a canter.
In fairness, the post wasn’t to be taken literally as I think everybody here rates Jonny.

Good point! @pacamac made it too.

I don't think I've ever been so excited about a boring player returning (I don't mean that as an insult - Jonny's the best boring player we've ever had!)

You do notice that footballers seem to put on a lot of muscle when having a long term injury, partially because they have nothing to do but go to the gym for months but also to help protect the injured joint. He'll lose the bulk as he trains more.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

He was always a tank and still is

Well, since the early days of Dennis Irwin at least. Jonny will definitely last longer though.

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

I hope he can come back the same top class player he was before. Such an underrated PL player.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

We need him got newcastle away soon

The man with the best legs in Wolverhampton is nearly back!!!!!

It is also great time to improve their all round conditioning, improve lean mass ratio and correct muscle imbalances to stop further injury when he returns as the return fortnight after long term injury. It is a time to really look after the player as often strangely it is another body part gets injured or gets a new boggling injury to add to the list ....... that is what we were always told when coming back from injuries that last over 6 weeks.
