Absence History
| Month | Reason | Duration | Further Detail | Team |
| Nov 25 | Reason Groin/Hip/Pelvic Injury | Duration 2-4 wks | Further Detail Nov 29: 'He is due to have a scan in the next few days to gather the extent of his injury. Delighted with Aaron (Ramsdale) today, I thought he came and did really well, so fingers crossed Nick's [injury] is not too serious.'
Dec 01: 'No further update from Saturday. Again, he is one of a number of players we will analyse earlier this week and try to get a proper diagnosis.'
Dec 19: 'He's doing well, he's back on the grass and diving around and kicking. Whether he makes this game or not, I'm not sure.'
Dec 23: 'There's a chance. I'd say he hasn't trained yet, and we hope he might train today. So, let's see how he does.' | Team ![]() |
| Nov 25 | Reason Head/Face Injury | Duration <2 wks | Further Detail Nov 09: 'His concussion came at a very difficult time for us. We hope Nick is OK. He doesn't remember too much about the incident. Initially, I wasn't told anything in the sense that he was concussed, and then a message came that he wasn't feeling too well, and he had to come off.'
Nov 21: 'Nick Pope has trained and there are no problems there.' | Team ![]() |
| Dec 24 | Reason Knee Injury | Duration >4 wks | Further Detail Dec 13: 'He's carried a knee injury this week. Initially, we thought it was nothing, but he's seeking some specialist opinion today, and we'll see if he's available for tomorrow.'
Dec 14: 'He saw the specialist, and the feedback is that he's going to be out for around a month. He injured himself just passing a ball against Brentford. It was really innocuous looking...'
Dec 23: 'Nick is doing OK; he has had a couple of injections in his knee, quite when he will be fit; it is still difficult to give a definitive date.'
Jan 03: 'Nick is starting goalkeeping work, so he's back on the grass. He's not yet fully training with the group.'
Jan 10: 'He hasn't trained with the group yet, but that's because we haven't had a large amount of training days lately. He's done 1-on-1s with the coaches, diving, kicking, a lot. He just needs a bit longer until he's strong enough to play.'
Jan 24: 'There is a chance he'll be in the squad. He's started training with the group again. I've seen him do some really good things this week, so yeah, delighted to have him back in the mix.' | Team ![]() |
| Sep 24 | Reason Knee Injury | Duration <2 wks | Further Detail Oct 04: 'Nick Pope and Kieran Trippier should be OK.' | Team ![]() |
| Dec 23 | Reason Shoulder Injury | Duration >4 wks | Further Detail Dec 02: 'It looked really innocuous, but that is usually the way, and they are normally the more serious ones. You could see he was in distress, and it looked like he dislocated his shoulder just diving.'
Dec 06: 'There's no doubt he needs an operation, so he will be out for a period of time, we think around four months. It's the same shoulder [as previously] but a different part.'
Feb 04: 'Nick has still got some distance to go. He was given about four months to return, and I think he's on track for that.'
Feb 26: 'No immediate update, but he's not on the verge of returning. He's working his way back and is still very much gym-based. He has done a couple of sessions outside, but they're very, very gentle at this stage. I still think he's a number of weeks away.'
Mar 15: 'April is his target. I think that will be more towards the end of [the month] than the beginning, but he's making good, solid progress. He's out on the grass but not necessarily diving. That will be a big test for his shoulder, and it's the next stage.'
Apr 26: 'Nick is beginning to start his early training sessions with us. He has started to be with outfield players in shooting drills.'
May 03: 'We’ve also seen Nick [in training] as well so it’s been a good week. It’s certainly given us a big lift.' | Team ![]() |
| May 23 | Reason Wrist/Hand Injury | Duration >4 wks | Further Detail May 24: 'Just a finger, something that has needed doing for a few months, really. Something that I am pleased to get sorted. I will be back for pre-season. So, timing has worked out well.'
July 10: 'Nick is doing well. He won't train with us initially with his hands, but I think he can do some footwork.'
Jul 15: 'Nick is doing well. He's doing light handling now, so he's made good progress from his finger injury, and we hope he'll [be] back available to play, in and around the America trip, maybe just after.' | Team ![]() |
| Mar 23 | Reason Thigh Injury | Duration 2-4 wks | Further Detail Mar 31: 'Nick felt a problem in his thigh after the Wolves game and didn't train in preparation for Forest but completed that game with a bit of discomfort.
