As long as the injury has nothing to do with his knee, I'm fine with waiting for his comeback. :D

Me to. The way VB eases players back into the team suggests he was never going to have much of an impact this year anyway.

This. He's been out for ages so until his body gets up to speed he's bound to suffer the odd twinge, better that he comes off as a precaution.
Not saying the situation is in any way as serious, but remember during Ledley's numerous come-backs he often left the pitch with us all ****ing ourselves about the knee, and later discovering it was often minor muscle injuries due to lack of training.

I hope he doesn't play for us this year. No need to rush him back and risk re-injury, and no need to rush him back and have him be less effective than Dawson and Vertonghen

Never expected him to play for the first team again this season anyway.

Much rather he got the type of injury associated with coming back from a long term injury (little tweaks and muscle strains) now so that he can get a full pre season under his belt and be ready for next season

Grade 1 strains represent minor tearing of muscle fibers with only minimal or no loss in strength. Pain is usually mild to moderate with no palpable defect in the muscle tissue on exam.
Grade 2 strains involve more severe disruption to the muscle fibers with significant pain and loss of strength. A defect in the muscle tissue may sometimes be felt.
Grade 3 strains are a result of complete tearing of the muscle with associated severe pain and complete loss of strength. A palpable defect in the muscle tissue can frequently be felt, especially if examined at onset of injury prior to hematoma formation.

and this
Thigh strains are graded with the smallest being one, a grade one thigh strain is just an over stretching of the fibres, recovery is usually complete within 7 days. When the fibres are more severely damaged and reach grade 2 the time scale for recovery can be anything from two to eight weeks. A grade three strain is serious and can put athletes out of action for over eight weeks.

I guess it's the best kind then?!

Players returning from long lay-offs tend to pick up twinges, strains and minor tears. They are inevitable.

Regarding whether or not he returns this season, the medical team. You will be amazed by how much they know about the players' health. We will just have to trust them.

Might as well shut him down for the season and prepare for day one of pre season.

Symptoms of a Thigh Strain

Quadriceps strains are graded 1,2 or 3 depending on severity. A full quad strain assessment would be performed to obtain an accurate diagnosis.
Grade 1

Symptoms of a grade 1 quadriceps thigh strain are not always serious enough to stop training at the time of injury. A twinge may be felt in the thigh and a general feeling of tightness. The athlete may feel mild discomfort on walking and running might be difficult. There is unlikely to be swelling. A lump or area of spasm at the site of injury may be felt.

Grade 2​
Grade 2 symptoms are more severe than a grade two. The athlete may feel a sudden sharp pain when running, jumping or kicking and be unable to play on. Pain will making walking difficult and swelling or mild bruising would be noticed. Pain would be felt when pressing in on the suspected location of the quad muscle tear. Straightening the knee against resistance is likely to cause pain and the injured athlete will be unable to fully bend the knee.
Grade 3

  • Sudden, severe pain in the thigh.
  • Unable to walk without the aid of crutches.
  • Bad swelling appearing immediately.
  • Bruising usually appears within 24 hours.
  • A static contraction will be painful and might produce a bulge in the muscle.
  • Expect to be out of competition for 6 to 12 weeks.
