Marc Guéhi injury: How Serious Is the Bone Bruise? – return date & FPL verdict

Marc Guéhi was sidelined for the game against Brighton with an apparent bone bruise.

Multiple managers have asked for my opinion on the injury; here's a summary:

What we know:

- Guéhi has a bone bruise.
- Glasner said Guéhi was on crutches days after the AZ Alkmaar incident, indicating a severe bone bruise.
- Glasner's worrying quote: "Fortunately nothing is broken, but at the moment he can't even walk. It looks like he will miss England's games, but after, maybe in 10-14 days hopefully he can return to training and be available again."
- This suggests a possible return to training in 10-14 days, making him a major doubt.
- Scans confirmed no foot fracture.

Analysis:

It sounds more severe than a minor bone bruise, with swelling, intense pain, and inability to walk unaided.

Bone bruises often feel worse than they are, with return to play usually within days or a few weeks.

I can't conclude definitively, but I wouldn't be surprised if he misses the next gameweek - severe cases in other sports have taken 2-4 weeks.

Currently 50/50.

Let's await further news.
