I've been worried about Z since the latest injury and the comments from the team that he would be out weeks. He had what was called successful hip surgery in May of 2012. Played last year's shortened season with no apparent problems, but this is his second extended absence this year for apparently the same injury. I'm making an assumption that the hip that is bothering him now is the same one he had surgery on, but I could be wrong of course.
No idea what the extent of the original injury was, but all I could think of when I heard hip injury was Bo Jackson.
"A recurrence of a chronic hip malady has sidelined Phoenix Coyotes defenseman Zbynek Michalek indefinitely. The veteran blue liner missed nine games earlier this season while nursing the same hip, and seemed to have aggravated the issue in Tuesday night's loss to the Montreal Canadiens - leaving after his first shift of the night. Michalek left the team, which is in the middle of a four-game road trip against the Eastern Conference, to be evaluated and treated by the team's medical staff. He has been placed on the injured reserved list" Michael Hamm on 12/21/2013
