Long term injured and other injury comeback news

Anyone know what the latest is on our long term injured:

Tom Hopper
Harry Kyprainou
Sam Barratt
Lewis Gard

A month ago Sam Barratt was a little way off and not expecting to be available for selection for "the next couple of months".
Last I think I heard about Gard was facing a few more months on the sidelines but this was back in early June
Kyprianou was hoping to join in pre-season training at some stage. Did that happen?
Tom Hopper had a second operation in July this time on his cartilage, that was going to put back his recovery by a bit.

I'm not expecting any to come straight in but it would be good if they were back in training and undergoing their own pre-seasons.

Has anyone any further updates?
 
I saw Tom Hopper arrive on Sat in his car, no sticks or obvious bandaging / support...appeared in good spirits , so hopefully....
 
I had heard (from a usually reputable source) that Hopper is hoping to be involved in first team training around the start of October.

That of course doesn’t mean he’ll be anywhere close to selection and I don’t know if that would be after his own ‘mini pre-season’.

The op he had was just to clean out the knee and was part of his rehab schedule, absolutely nothing extra untoward or to be further worried by.

Can he also play in midfield??.
 
the last I head Barratt was straight line running.

Assuming he has the same recovery path as Hopper, the latter started that the day after we lost at Lincoln. So that's about 8 weeks or so???

I really hope we see him back this side of Xmas so that we can see what he can do at this level, it would be a real shame if he was to miss his chance at being a pro due to an unfortunate injury
 
The good news is that Tom Hopper is back after 11 and a half months out (was injured 23 October 2018)

Sam Barratt out since 7 August 2018 (out 15 months so far)
Lewis Gard out since 9 October 2018 (out 13 months so far)
Harry Kyprianou out since 24 November 2018 (out nearly a year so far)


What a wretched few months they were - and that list above doesn't even include Jason Demetriou (injured 27 November 2018 until 9 March 2019 and hasn't fully recovered) and Harry Lennon (injured 23 October 2018 until 23 February 2019):Sad:
