Emne: Ex-spiller: Gaetano Berardi

[Hallgeir *]

Snakkes om 8 uker på sidelinja. Ikke bra for laget det

Da må vi fortsatt slite med Wooton som back på høyresiden..

Leeds United will be without Gaetano Berardi for eight weeks after a scan on the defender’s injured ankle revealed a torn ligament.

Berardi has been ruled out of United’s Christmas programme and is not expected to return until February due to damage sustained in Saturday’s 0-0 draw at Charlton Athletic.

The right-back, who had only just completed a two-match suspension, was hurt by what head coach Steve Evans called a “naughty tackle” in the final minutes of the Championship game.

He was stretchered from the field in obvious pain and sent for an examination of the injury this morning.

Leeds were initially worried that Berardi had suffered a broken bone but he is unlikely to need an operation on his ankle. The club are planning to send him for another scan next week.

His absence is a blow to Evans, however, and could leave Leeds with Scott Wootton as their only senior option at right-back next month.

Sam Byram is currently available but the 22-year-old academy product has turned down the offer of a new contract at Elland Road and Evans has advised Leeds to cash in on him when the January transfer window opens.

Byram has been restricted to a bit-part role recently, behind Wootton and Berardi in the order at Leeds. Wootton started Saturday’s clash with Charlton but was replaced by Berardi early in the second half having received a yellow card at the beginning of the game.


Evans hit out at the tackle on Berardi afterwards, saying: “It was a naughty tackle. Berardi would be a big loss.

“It shows you how influential he is that he was the one player we were debating putting into the team after (United’s 2-1 win over) Hull.”

Evans went on to defend his decision to start Wootton - a more recognised central defender - at right-back amid questions about the continued absence of Byram and Berardi’s inclusion on the bench.

Byram appeared in stoppage-time at The Valley as a replacement for the injured Berardi.


Evans said: “I felt as a manager that if you produce a good performance and the team wins, you play. If I’d taken Scott out then I should have taken Giuseppe Bellusci out at Huddersfield (last month) and played Sol Bamba.

“If you earn the right to keep the shirt it shouldn’t be about reputation. The great players at Leeds aren’t here any more and to be keeping the shirt when you don’t play well is based on being a great player. So the decision was easy.

Vi kan vel få en ungdomskompensasjon for ham av et tribunal, men neppe mye.

Joda, litt flåsete kommentar er det, selv om det selvsagt er høyst reelt at han da sannsynligvis ikke hadde blitt skadet.

Jeg irriterte meg bare over at han ikke startet med Berardi på lørdag. Jeg skjønner virkelig ikke tankegangen til Evans ved å la en midtstopper spille høyreback fremfor å la en av våre aller beste spillere denne sesongen starte der. Never change a winning team blir for tullete å dra frem som argumentasjon.

Nå må vi vel slite med Wootton som høyreback i de kommende to måneder. For min del vil jeg ha Byram der, evt sette innpå Coyle. Han kan da umulig være verre enn Wootton.

Selvfølgelig. Resultater er oppskrytt! 

Wootton says: Evig eies kun et dårlig rykte. 

[auren]

Forsvaret slipper ikke inn mang mål med Wooton på backen, men det er kanskje underordnet?

Men scorer vi like mange mål / flere mål med ham på back? Hva er statistikken?

Det kan også tenkes at 4-5-1 er årsaken til kun 1 mål i mot på siste 2 kamper. Wootton er sikkert viktig i duellspillet på dødballer i mot, men han er IKKE en bedre back en Berardi. Verken defansivt eller offansivt.

Og jada: Klart det er bedre å rykke opp med Wootton som høyreback enn å ende mid-table med Berardi som høyreback.

Enig med deg! Tenkte vi skulle se litt positivt på det!  


Etter 20 kamper i fjor:
16   Leeds United   20   6   5   9   24   30      5   3   2   14   8      1   2   7   10   22      -6   23 poeng

Litt bedre i år, men ikke mye fremgang annet enn på det defensive!

For å se positivt: Vi er en målskårer unna suksess!

Leeds United: Returning Berardi given target of facing Watford in FA Cup

HELLO AGAIN: Leeds United full-back, Gaetano Berardi, may return to action in the FA Cup tie against Watford on February 20 after nearly three months out with an ankle injury sustained against Charlton, above.
Phil Hay
07:59 Thursday 11 February 2016   20:55Wednesday 10 February 2016

LEEDS UNITED defender Gaetano Berardi is being pencilled in for a comeback in the club’s FA Cup tie at Watford after being cleared to resume full training next week.

Head coach Steve Evans said the Swiss right-back had a “decent chance” of making the squad for United’s fifth-round clash at Vicarage Road after ending a three-month spell of rehabilitation.

Leeds lost Berardi, their first-choice right-back, to an ankle injury during the closing stages of a 0-0 draw at Charlton Athletic in December.

Evans expected to be without him for at least eight weeks and the United boss said the club had given Berardi “the maximum amount of time suggested” to overcome a torn ligament.

Berardi, whose form earned him an extended contract earlier this season, will not feature in Monday night’s Championship clash with Middlesbrough but Evans said: “He’s got a decent chance of playing some part at Watford. That’s a possibility.

“He’s a very fit lad and he’s more than ready now. We’ve given him the maximum amount of time suggested to us by the medical people and I can tell that he’s itching to step it up. When he gets back involved he’ll be up to speed very quickly.

“Middlesbrough’s too soon but it’ll be full training and full contact for him next week.

“It’s a bonus for us because his form was excellent. I said right when I first came in that he was a player who really surprised me. I didn’t think he was this good. It goes without saying that we’ve missed him.”


Leeds have relied on Scott Wootton at right-back in Berardi’s absence, prior to the sale of Sam Byram to West Ham United and since the youngster’s exit from Elland Road last month, but the return to Berardi is the part of a trickle of anticipated comebacks.

Evans said he was confident that midfielder Alex Mowatt is fully recovered from a leg injury and the 20-year-old is likely to play 45 minutes in a behind-closed-doors Under-21s game against Sheffield United tomorrow, with a view to featuring against Middlesbrough.

Striker Chris Wood remains on the sidelines with a hamstring strain but Evans, who has seen his hopes of a play-off bid falter rapidly since the turn of the year, said: “He’ll not be too long and it will make a big difference when they’re all back involved.

“Nobody was disputing Berardi’s form when he got injured and I felt that Alex was having his best spell of the season before Christmas. Wood’s been very good for us too. I’m not saying that even with those three we’re where we need to be as a Championship team but in my time as head coach I’ve been without them more than I’ve been with them.”

Om Coyle spilte så godt som rapportene og Evans sier, så skal han fortsette i laget.

Leeds United: Berardi’s season could be over after injury setback


Gaetano Berardi is stretchered off at Hull City.
PHIL HAY
17:50Sunday 24 April 2016

Gaetano Berardi’s season looks to be over after the defender was stretchered from the field with an ankle injury during yesterday’s 2-2 draw at Hull City.

Leeds United are awaiting the results of X-rays following a second-half tackle by Jake Livermore which damaged the same ankle responsible for keeping Berardi on the sidelines for two months earlier in the season.

The Swiss right-back missed the Christmas period and a long run of games after the turn of the year with a torn ankle ligament sustained in a 0-0 draw at Charlton Athletic in early December.

Berardi returned in February and his run in the team since then earned him a place on the shortlist for United’s player-of-the-year award.

The 26-year-old has been the victim of repeated injuries, however, including a bloodied nose suffered against Rotherham United in November and a cut to his head sustained in a meeting with the same side this month.

Head coach Steve Evans is hoping Berardi’s latest setback is not serious but speaking after an eventful draw with Hull, Evans said: “Unfortunately it’s the ankle he was out with before. He doesn’t need that.

“He’s a fantastic player and this season he’s already been cut open a couple of times and done his ankle. We hope it’s not serious.

“We’ve got players who can play in his position so it’s not about that. He’s just a very good player in that position.”


Berardi’s departure from Saturday’s game led to controversial scenes as Hull supporters behind City’s goal aimed obscene chants towards the defender as he was stretchered around the field. An object, believed to be an apple, was also thrown from the stands.

Evans insisted he had not seen that incident and Leeds are yet to say if they will make a complaint to the Football Association. Referee Iain Williamson is expected to include it in his match report.

Evans, meanwhile, said pre-match doubts over the fitness of both Berardi and Lewie Coyle – the player to replace Berardi after Livermore’s foul – had been behind the omission of centre-back Giuseppe Bellusci from yesterday’s 18-man squad.

Bellusci was fit for selection at the weekend but did not make the cut and was left behind as Leeds travelled to the KC Stadium.


Evans said illness affecting both Berardi and Coyle had convinced him to include the “versatile” Scott Wootton on the bench and omit an available Bellusci for the first time since his appointment as head coach in October.

“We had a little bit of illness with Gaetano and Lewie so we had to utilise one player on the bench to cover two positions,” Evans said.

“Scott’s trained very well and he’s a very accomplished centre-back. He can play either side at full-back so it’s nothing more than that. Peppe will be seriously back in contention for Saturday (at home to Charlton Athletic).”

Asked why Bellusci had not made the short trip to watch the team, Evans said: “We only travel with 18. He wasn’t here, Casper (Sloth) wasn’t here and (Souleymane) Doukara wasn’t here.

“Away from home, those boys (players left out of the 18) aren’t here. But if we’d been at Elland Road he’d have been there for sure.”

Nothing serious for Berardi. Slight ligament damage, which means he misses the last two games, but will be fit for pre-season. #lufclive





Da kommer vel Coyle inn! 

[HåvardK]

På mange måter en vinn-vinn-situasjon. Berardi har vel vist hvor god han kan være denne sesongen, og er en vi gjerne ser blir med videre. Coyle trenger matching.

[RoarG]

"Bare" et 4 ukers avbrudd. Mister de to siste kampene. Blir fit til pre-season. En slags "gladnyhet", dette her .

[baste]

Berardi er en av spillerne som må være med videre.

Ny sesong foran oss, bare å glede seg

waccoe:
-  I've heard a rumour Berardi isn't happy at Leeds and may be on his way out, several clubs are chasing him abroad.

- I wondered if he might be off. He is an obvious choice to leave. Worth as much as Taylor but won't get the fans backs up as much. No one has seemed concerned that he could leave. He should have been part of the campaign posters. Best looking player in the squad. 


- kanskje det er grunnen til at han er 'skadet'???

Jeg digger Coyle og han har vært kanon for oss denne sesongen. Han kommer til å bli en av Leeds beste spillere de kommende sesongene!

Vedrørende Berardi så har det ikke kommet noen tilbakemeldinger på skaden hans enda så vidt jeg vet.
