McCarthy Feels for Frustrated Bishop
Monday, 21st Aug 2017 18:23

Boss Mick McCarthy says he feels for midfielder Teddy Bishop, who underwent groin surgery earlier in the week having missed much of the last two seasons due to other unrelated injury problems.

“Surgery on a ‘sportsman’s hernia’, apparently,” McCarthy said of the 21-year-old’s latest setback. “I’m not quite sure what the difference is to a ‘hernia’ but it’s a ‘sportsman’s hernia’.

“It’s so sad for him, it would be lovely to see him back, we all know what a talented player he is. But you have to be on the pitch and it’s proven difficult for him.

"He’s had a number of injuries and every time he seems to just get back towards getting there, he picks up another one. We wish him well because it would be great to have him back.”

McCarthy says he’s not sure how long the Cambridge-born academy product will be sidelined for with the latest injury, which is unrelated to his previous problems.

“That’s a real frustration for him because he gets back from one injury and he has something else,” the Town manager added. “I do feel for him, because he’s a really talented player.”

Also still on the injured list and yet to play a game since joining the Blues on a free transfer following his release by Cardiff is Tom Adeyemi, who picked up a niggle after being ill during pre-season.

“He’s still having treatment on that calf,” McCarthy said. “It would be nice to see him out on the pitch.”

Agreed. I really hope he makes a full recovery. Sadly, I'm not sure he will be the same prospect of a couple of seasons ago. Real shame. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Maybe we can take a crumb of comfort from them being different unrelated injuries, as he can hopefully get over those rather than having one career-ending injury. I suspect it will be a long road back though, but best of luck to him.

Thing to remember is he's still only 21, a lot of these injuries can probably be put down to not being fully physically developed and will hopefully stop as he gets older and stronger. Can only assume he's been spending a lot of time in the gym and on strength and conditioning as he's been out for so long...may well be a much better player in the long run by having to overcome so much. Will be like a new signing if he makes it back this season!
