    Depends on the injury. A fully ruptured ACL is easy to diagnose and give a timescale on (essentially - out for the season). Most more minor injuries are much harder to timescale, and often need repeated scanning to see the rate of improvement.

    Also (I might be wrong in this) in England the manager tends to give updates on injuries when he doesn’t really understand the full picture, whereas in other countries it’s a medical professional - at least that is something Conte complained about while at Spurs.

      Might be, but Conte definitely liked to keep everyone in the dark about injuries, regardless of what he knew. He would just straight up lie or deny a players’ availability for any tactical advantage.
