Capoue - Sprained ankle (4 weeks)

[Imnotacticalgenius]

Great great news about Capoue.......4 weeks out......

 

[MattyP]

His reaction didn't look like a four weeks off reaction. Time will tell, I hope the assessment proves correct

 

[Davo99]

Two of those first four weeks we are off. Then we play Norwich and Cardiff, where Sandro can more than fill in.

Great news.

I know what you mean, but Sandro is and will be first choice anyway - he won't be merely 'filling in'.

 

[Kingstheman]

I am so relieved. Rest up, let Sandro take over, study the team play.

 

[Garm]

Great news!

 

[felmani26]

Brilliant news that!

What with international break now as well, hopefully he won't miss too much action at all.

 

[Riandor]

...AND breathe.... ooof, was worried after the doom and gloom in here that it would be longer.

 

[Mr Pink]

Great news.

Hopefully he'll back in contention for the match day squad against Chelsea at the end of the month.

If he only misses two League games against Norwich and Cardiff - will be amazing.

 

[dagraham]

I'm stunned to be honest. The way he was carried off looked like a season ender. I would have considered anything before Christmas as a result so 4-6 weeks is good news

 

[Gardham90]

Fantastic News, especially as our next game is the 14th!

 

[Don_Felipe]

Thats better than a new signing..​

Was just about to say that.... Meanwhile let the beast play..,

 

[WiganSpur]

Great news! Won't be long until Beast II is fit and raring to go.

Fantastic news! Feels like a new signing after the fears of 6 months! Obviously it might take a bit longer than 1 month but nowhere near as bad it seems. Was feeling a bit doom and gloom with the fears added to the result yesterday. Now I'm feeling real good again about our season. Get well soon!

 

[Pedro]

Just seen this on ssn, fantastic news. I did something similar, hurt so much I thought I had broken my ankle, took a few weeks and I was playing again. No need to rush him back while Sandro is fit and well, and when back can give Sandro a rest to avoid him breaking again. No panic buy DMs today then!

Maybe Etienne just has an incredibly low pain treshold for a hulking CDM?

Update from OS - Capoue has had an MR scan, has a sprained ankle, hopefully out for 4 weeks:

Capoue update

Posted by Tottenham Hotspur on 2 September 2013 - 14:30PM
Etienne Capoue has this morning (Monday) undergone an MR scan which has revealed the midfielder suffered an ankle sprain against Arsenal on Sunday.

The recent signing from Toulouse was injured after 72 minutes at the Emirates Stadium and was immediately taken to hospital to consult with a Foot and Ankle specialist. Early indications suggest the France international will be unavailable for a period of four weeks.

Maybe Etienne just has an incredibly low pain treshold for a hulking CDM?

Or maybe it really fucking hurt.

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

pleased for the lad

 

[thinktank]

The Yeti back in four weeks - news of the day for me.

 

[Montasura]

This beats any other news today hands down. So convinced was I that he was out for the guts of the season its like another signing. Been brilliant for us so far.
