Callum Davidson expects his eight-month Preston North End injury nightmare to end next week. The 30-year-old defender is targeting Tuesday's home game with Coventry for a return to the Preston squad.

Davidson insists he is now fit and 'champing at the bit' after battling back from knee and groin problems.

"It's been frustrating, but I'm almost there," he told the Evening Post, as he rejoined full training with the North End squad today.

"I probably won't make Saturday, but I'm hoping for Tuesday. Let's see how things go."

Davidson has had only 16 minutes of first team football since the spring.

Re: Callum Davidson

His eight-month injury nightmare might end, but he'll no doubt soon be embarking on another three-month, six-month, or year-long injury nightmare. 🙄

This really should be his last chance, if he breaks down again he may as well retire and we can bring in a new left-back. I still think it's required as Matty Hill is certainly our weak link.
 
Re: Callum Davidson

If Callum was a race-horse, he'd have been shot by now or sold to a nice old lady.

Hope he can finally get through this cos he's mint when on form.

Lol that made me laugh - lucky we don't have Mr Hemmings taking more of a hands on role at the club then 😛
 
Re: Callum Davidson

Surely theres a serious long term problem with him, he can't play 3 games without breaking down.

Don't get me wrong I think hes incredible, a truely fearless player who wears the shirt with pride but I wouldn't be surprised iff he left us at the end of the season.
 
Re: Callum Davidson

Rumor has it that when simpo phoned him to tell him he was in the squad he hurt his ear on the phone good news though surgeons saved the ear but it may mean another 3 months on full wages for nowt 😉
 
Re: Callum Davidson

Best left sided defender in the division when fit.
I just hope he gets and stays fit.
 
Re: Callum Davidson

He's a burden on the wage bill, get shut how long has he been with us 2 - 3 years, how many games? The guys a crock, shouldn't be playing the game, crocked almost permanently at Leicester, then us.

We do not need sicknotes, he should be honest and say "I have been injured for so long, been paid for doing nowt, I will now give you something back, I will be paid for minutes played and not take anything from the kitty anymore, I have a certain amount of honour and I owe you lot something.

Dream on as long as North End pay him for doing nowt he will take. Get rid of Callum and get a fit left back in, he has proved he isn't capable of giving us a decent run, same as at Leicester. Bit harsh maybe but it's true, said that when he signed, he will always be injured. old pals act, culprit Craig Brown.

.

PNE 42 league starts & 7 subs over two seasons ie > 50% of games.

Leicester 90 + 7 over 4 seasons

That is by no means the injury disaster you choose to paint.

This is what I was thinking too.

Having a fit and ready Callum Davidson is a real boost for us, just as the going starts to get tough in the winter months.
 
Re: Callum Davidson

I'm a great admirer of Callum, but in the Championship, our best sequences emerge from a consistent line-up and from players "knowing" where teammates will be. Callum is a better Championship player than Hill, a more formidable opponent and a more threatening attcking force, but the disriptions which his injury pron-ness creates are damaging to our current team. He has to be playing for his contract now.
