Not really.

Hendrick is a doubt to be back before the end of the season.
The other two have recovery times that could take up to 8 weeks, when the Euros start.
Walters said he could be back in 3 weeks but Walters isn't a doctor the last time I checked.
I said they're racing against the clock. I didn't say they were out or in. How many times have players been ruled out longer than the original estimate? Likewise some come back earlier than prospected. Either way it's not ideal that two players could be out for the rest of the season and the other is at an age and, stage in his career, where it is harder to come back from injuries - such as the one he has.
They're going to be desperate to play even if they aren't 100%. And look how that turned out four years ago.
I think MON will deal with it a lot better than Trap did anyway.
A race against the clock means it's touch or go whether they'll be fit in time. It is expected that all three of these players will be back before the end of the season, which is nearly a full month before the Euros even start. Of course these things can take longer than expected sometimes, they might even get injured again after returning, but with the information we've been given any normal human being would be quite positive about the outlook. Why are you so miserable about everything all of the time? Why are you trying to paint a worst case scenario when at the moment, every important player we have is expected to be fully fit for the Euros? Judge and Elliot's injuries were bummers, but with all due respect to the two of them they weren't likely to be key players for us anyway, if they even played at all. Things could go t!ts up between now and June, but we can't possibly complain about the situation as things stand. Now if Coleman, Long, McCarthy, Hoolahan, Brady or players of that ilk start being ruled out then it's time to start fretting.
Double leg break for Judge, going for surgery tomorrow and will miss the Euros. Gutted for the lad.
Christ. That's terrible. Awful timing. All the best to him.
Anyone with any idea the rough time out for this? I assume it's out of the realms of possibility he'll deemed PL transfer-worthy by the end of the summer..
Up to six months according to this - https://sportmedbc.com/news/broken-t...portmed-soccer
We might see him again after Halloween
Although this answer on quora - https://www.quora.com/How-serious-is...aying-football - puts it closer to nine.
As a comparison, Luke Shaw had a double leg break in September, and returned to training this week, seven months later
Horrific

My first instinct was that that was a disgraceful tackle but watching it again I think it's just a strong commited tackle and Judge was unlucky
that he didn't see it coming to protect himself. Feel for the lad. Awful timing. Although I don't think O'Neill would have used him in France. Hopefully it doesn't affect the rest of his career as these things can sometimes do
Awful news. The ball was there to be won though.

On 3 man short list for Championship player of the year. Break a leg Alan. (too soon?)
Terrible luck for him, are the Irish unluckier than most with this sort of injury?
Sad. Such a shame Brentford didn't accept a number of offers which came in for him, including one from Wednesday. Could be fighting for a play off position and a chance to play in the Premiership but such are the fates. Hopefully he'll recover soon and continue his great form.
Alan Judge begins long journey back with Euros dream shattered: http://www.irishtimes.com/sport/socc...ered-1.2618116
Judge warned over his use of an asthma inhaler: http://www.thefa.com/news/governance...-warned-270516
He'd fit perfectly into our system of huff and puff football.
English Newcastle fan tells me that they are about to sign "the Irish Messi".
Isn't that Wessi? :P
Transfer might be delayed until January because he has a screw loose:

Dean Smith:
http://www.themag.co.uk/2016/09/reve...ted-brentford/Quote:
“The clubs that were interested in him thought he was further ahead in his fitness that he was.
“I don’t think anyone would begrudge Judgey a move to a Premier League, or a massive Championship, club.
“I’m sure he’ll come back better than before.
“He probably wasn’t as far ahead as he thought he might be but he’s still progressing. I’m not sure of any timescales – I think it’s too early to say.”
the leg break was a real shame, hope it has no permanent effect, I expect they get the best of treatment these says though should be OK.
Brentford playmaker Alan Judge is nearing a landmark in his recovery from the broken leg he suffered in April.
The Irishman has been out of action since a horrific Luke Hyam tackle at Ipswich and has been making steady progress since the break.
And his bone is around two weeks away from the bone fully calcifying, which will allow him to take the next step in his recovery.
Head coach Dean Smith said: “Alan Judge is into a stage in his rehab where he wants to keep stepping up now.
“There's a week or two left for the full calcification of the bone. We have to make sure he's right before he comes back.”

On the way to full recovery http://www.the42.ie/alan-judge-inter...61598-Dec2016/
Really unlucky with that injury. In the form of his life when it happened and suitors including Newcastle knocking on his door. Interesting reference in the article to O'Neill talking to Hogan's agent over the Christmas (perhaps covered elsewhere).
He's being linked to Aston Villa in the tabloids this week.
Very good news - he and Hourihane would probably be top of the list of new players to get a run-out against Iceland in the Spring, so hopefully he can get back in the Brentford team soon and get a few games under his belt before that (and stay injury-free, of course)
Birmingham's official Twitter account has started following Alan Judge.
http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/spor...-talk-12394931
Not following him anymore. Clearly not interested in signing him.
rumours in the press linking him with Newcastle, he posted on twitter saying he hasn't spoken to anyone: https://twitter.com/10judgey/statuse...12236398137344

Haven't spoke to anybody regarding my future. So don't believe everything u read
Judge targeting return next season; hints at Brentford stay.
http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport...-says-12802255
He had a double leg break almost a year ago and he's now targeting next August. Hence I worry also for Seamus.
Point taken, but just think Henrik Larsson if you want to see the glass half full though.
Signed a new two year deal: http://www.brentfordfc.co.uk/news/ar...d-3648409.aspx
Requires further surgery but doesn't sound too bad.

Terrible injury for him just as he was at the apex of his career to date and big clubs (I use the term loosely - perhaps bigger might be more apt) like Newcastle and Sheffield Wednesday were queuing up for his services. I remember one game where he ran the whole show against Wednesday, including being the deadball specialist. Fingers crossed.
