Any news on the injuries

Be interesting to see what Critch has done with these two weeks off. He's always talking about lack of time with the players etc and this has been a real chance to work with them - if we do a short corner now against Derby, I'm done!!
 
From the Gazette....

Blackpool face a nervous wait to see if Jordan Rhodes will be able to feature again this season- but the prospect of him doing so hasn’t been completely ruled out.

The striker was forced off during the first half of the 1-0 defeat to Wigan Athletic ahead of the international break. After initially going down in the 17th minute, the Huddersfield Town loanee tried to continue, but ultimately had to be subbed shortly after.
During the first half of the campaign he was a vital figure for the Seasiders, scoring 15 league goals ahead of the new year. In recent months he has struggled with injuries, with a rib problem keeping him out of action for eight games.

Revealing the full extent of Rhodes’ latest setback, Blackpool boss Neil Critchley said: “He’s back at Huddersfield, they’ll be looking after his rehab in the first few weeks. It’ll be touch and go whether he appears again this season, but we’re hopeful he will come back to us at some point, I know he’s desperate to get back.

"It’s the ligaments in his knee. It was a coming together, a block tackle, and he’s opened the ligaments on the inside of his knee, so it’s really unfortunate- he tried to carry on. He was in discomfort when he came off.

"We’re in constant communication with Huddersfield and their physios and we still haven’t ruled him out appearing for us again this season. We’re in a mini league now, and if we can outperform the other teams around us then hopefully we’ll have another three games, which would give Jordan a greater chance of appearing.
"The injuries have been so unfortunate, they’re not muscle injuries, one came from him being really brave going in on the goalkeeper against Charlton, and then he went into a tackle early on against Wigan and came out worse. It’s been stop-start, and we’re bound to miss someone of his experience and intelligence.

"I’m still hopeful, I’m remaining positive and I’m still picturing him in a Tangerine shirt between now and the end of the season. He’s been fantastic for us, and we’ve loved having him here. He’s really enjoyed being here.”

Andy Lyons had surgery yesterday which went well," Critchley said.

"Obviously he faces a long period of rehab now but at least he's had surgery and it's been successful so that is a positive. Jordan Rhodes is back at Huddersfield, they will be looking after his rehab in the first few weeks, it will be touch and go whether he appears again this season.

"We're hopeful that he'll come back to us at some point, I know he's desperate to get back on the pitch as soon as possible. We're hopeful but that will be touch and go.

"Albie Morgan is getting closer, James Husband is getting closer, they're both back out on the grass for different bits of works but they're both getting closer and Ryan Finnigan is doing some running as well.

"We've had some progress but whether they will appear over the weekend that will be doubtful.
