Injury list on Info page shows exact return dates

These players are listed as 3-4 months or 2-3 months out on the injury list, but on the team Info page I can work out the exact date of return. That's really not a realistic way to display injuries (especially concussion during a match that one of these guys got) - I can understand there's an underlying fixed value in the database because the length gets simmed at time of injury, but IMO it really should be displayed like everywhere else in the game.

It's showing a specific number, but that's still just an estimate - the way injury recovery works, it can "stall" at certain points, so what's shown here is effectively the best case if absolutely nothing goes wrong. But yeah, we should probably make all locations with injury descriptions consistent with each other, instead of using a different format on that screen.

exactly, a dtd could be out 1week or just 1 day

oh okay thanks for the explanation. I was wondering because this guy has had nothing gone wrong yet (I think) so the day counter has ticked down. Stalling at certain points seems a perfectly decent way to model it so
