Carrick's Middlesbrough Update on McGree: A Bit of a Head-Scratcher
So, Michael Carrick's been talking about Riley McGree again, and honestly, it's a bit of a head-scratcher. The Boro boss gave a bit of an update on the Aussie midfielder, saying he's "not far away" from a return to the pitch. But how not far away? That's the question, isn't it?
We've all been wondering when McGree would be back in action after his injury. He's been a real bright spark for Boro when he's been fit, so naturally, we're all chomping at the bit to see him back out there. The problem is, Carrick didn't exactly give us a clear timeline.
"Not Far Away" - What Does That Even Mean?
Carrick's update was a bit vague, which is fair enough. It's not always easy to give concrete dates when it comes to injury recoveries. But it would've been nice to have a little more info to go on. Is "not far away" a matter of days? Weeks? Months?
Maybe it's just me, but it feels like we've been hearing this "not far away" line for a while now. You know, like when you ask your mate when they're coming over for that game, and they say "soon," but it ends up being a month later?
McGree's Impact on the Pitch
Let's be real, we all miss McGree's presence on the pitch. The lad's got some real talent, and he's shown that when he's been fit. He's got a knack for finding space, picking out a killer pass, and generally causing havoc in the opposition's box.
He's been a real driving force for Boro, and we're desperate to see him back firing on all cylinders. Fingers crossed, it's sooner rather than later.
Patience, My Friends
We've all gotta be patient, though. It's no good rushing McGree back before he's fully recovered. We don't want him to get re-injured and be out for even longer. So, let's just hope he's back in action sooner rather than later, and in the meantime, let's keep our fingers crossed for a speedy recovery.
Stay tuned, Boro fans!
