Based on what? 6-12 weeks depending on the severity was quoted on 13/10...

Lockers is a joke and should do the decent thing and walk away

hes selfish

The club has a choice in this, it didn’t/doesn’t need to renew his contract 😚

Agreed...... maybe hes got a slight injury
He had covid. That can massively affect fitness and lung capacity and takes some gettin gover.

Exactly, look at Josh Jones at Hull, I don't think he's played at all since he got covid, and that was months ago.

Let’s not beat around the bush lockers is finished he has been for a few years and the signings we’ve made have bought other creative options and we’ve done well without him.
But I do wish lockers well to recover from Covid

Agreed.

I cannot imagine the club selecting a player who is still showing effects of Covid. It is a new virus and everyone is constantly learning about it. I think the club have a duty of care in this situation. It isn't the same as a player returning from injury and getting a 20 minute run out to build fitness / ease back in to it.
