Josh Murphy's recent Instagram post has sparked concern among fans, as the player's injury woes persist. The photo, part of a series titled 'January', reveals a metatarsal fracture, adding to the list of ailments that have sidelined him for the past six weeks. This development comes as a shock, especially after Pompey boss John Mousinho hinted at multiple injury issues, including an ankle injury, which was expected to resolve soon.
The 30-year-old's ankle problem, which was previously mentioned, is not improving as anticipated, and he is set to undergo another scan in 10 days. This scan will be six weeks after he was expected to be completely off the boot, a timeline that now seems uncertain. With the player's return date still unknown, fans are left wondering how long it will take for Murphy to fully recover and rejoin the team.
This latest injury update has raised eyebrows, given the player's recent history of setbacks. It remains to be seen whether Murphy will be able to overcome these challenges and return to the field soon, but the club and its fans are eagerly awaiting further news on his recovery.
