I'm sorry but he is way past it now. He's previous clubs are testament to that.

As awful as it is, seeing a player get injured, maybe it's a blessing in disguise.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

I don’t think we’ve had enough of a chance to know if he can still do it at this level. The dreaded injury curse may have put the kibosh on it - such a shame for him if so. Hopefully he will be back soon and able to get match fit and show what he can do. His attitude and attributes are spot on. I really hope he gets a proper chance.

one in the treatment room if you counting Atkinson he has not signed a contract i think you will find .So as yet he is not a southend player

 

[Loan Shark Linda]

Shame. I wonder who will be the next ex player to come in?

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

I'd be amazed if he signed. Similar player to what we have already. Need creativity in that final third.

Hope its not a bad tear ,

In total, it usually takes up to three days for a pulled calf muscle in back of lower leg to start feeling better. But a full recovery may take up to six weeks, according to Oxford University Hospitals. Severe swelling can make any pain and discomfort last a bit longer. Walking on recovering calf muscles can also increase recovery time.

If you have to have surgery for a severe pull in your calf muscle, it may take several weeks or months before you fully recover.

Similarly with Coulson a Broken toe may take 6 to 8 weeks to repair before pre season can start again, Lets hop for a quick healer

Good job Atkinson not signed, wish him well given his previous service , maybe just a stretch to far this time
