It's obviously terrible but I'd disagree and say it's the one position we don't need to replace in, unless it's one in one out. 4 options + Andrew and Diggers at a push should be alright.
Are we covered by insurance for such things or are we effectively two players down budget wise with him and Thomas?

Absolutely gutted to hear that, was really looking forward to watching him this season.
Our injury luck continues... Let's hope he does make a full recovery and with age on his side can still kick on once back.

Yep this is awful news. I hope he makes as swift a recovery as possible,

If we're planning on lining up with 3 at the back we need another in. But otherwise I agree and don't think he needs replacing, unless we move Okedina on. I'm sure Nick will be able to answer this one properly but my understanding is it depends on the exact nature of the policy and the injury but I expect chances are we'll be covered to at least some degree for both of them.

How long does it take to come back from? Is it a 'how long is a piece of string?' type question?
Could we see our typical GMT revival when Thomas and Jobe return?
Gutted. Absolutely gutted for him poor lad.

Devastating is the word. So sorry for the lad.
As for injury time, I guess it depends so I don't really know but it's the same injury that May had.
Thomas has an ACL too I think but I don't recall it being described as 'ruptured'.
Andrew.

Really liked the look of Rossi last season and think there’s a great player in him. Diggers is a very good shout as a back up cb. Remember him at home to Wycombe and he pocketed voakes. Great in the air and I think he could be a very decent option if we get injuries. Gibbo can also cover if we’re down to no options

What about a swap deal Masterson for Okedina? They'd have to give us a transfer fee as well, obviously! ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

As good as Digby is as cover and Gibbo too I think we’d be a little foolish to rely on that. Rossi has a history of injury problems, Morrison ended last season with an injury - at his age it’s unrealistic to expect him to be injury free all season.
Dreadful news for Jobe. At least he has Thomas to share some of the rehab with. He comes across as a very bubbly character and will hopefully help keep Jobe’s spirits up.

I think we should loan out okedina with an option to recall him I just in case we are down to the wire. I wouldn’t say Rossi is injury prone though. He had a broken toe which isn’t a muscle injury and is more of an unlucky thing. Morro is old and I do expect injuries from him but watts seems a good player if so.

You can only recall in the transfer window.

Ibsen Rossi has picked up constant niggles and shorter-term injuries in his time here.

I thought I recalled Nick saying the insurance was quite expensive so we stopped this a while ago? Though that comment could have been a while ago and with the last few years perhaps we have started it again, come on Nick let us know ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Awful news for the lad, talk about bad luck with injuries over the past 4 months. At such a young age, having an injury record of concussion due to an on pitch assault and then a ruptured ACL sustained off season is highly unusual.
Get well soon.

Or not long after being back in the League). I'd hope we're BIG TIME enough now to... y'know, have adequate insurance as a third-tier football club.
