Capoue - Sprained ankle (4 weeks)

[3Dnata]

I hope it's not as bad as it looks I fear for the guy.

AVB says its the tibia

Our resident SC Dr, I see.

Maybe...?!

Have a bit of a side interest in Sports Medicine/Immediate Pitch Side care...hopefully one day will become a 'full time' interest!!

I thought I saw him at full time, think I need to go to specsavers.

I really hope it is not too bad. Get well soon Etienne!

Gutted for him and us, he was playing very well.

Sandro looked immense when he came on though

Stobart is saying its a suspected break.

@nad_THFC: The news on Capoue doesn't sound good at all

According to French outlets he has a broken Fibula & tibia

 

[Don_Felipe]

Really bad for him... That's just shit

Crazy thing is we can just replace him with Sandro

How long would that be?

6 months minimum..... and ive done it skiing, however mine was a nasty break and had to have a metal rod put in....i am also not a super human athlete.

Fibula AND tibia? Jesus.

Poor guy. World cup year too.

It massively depends on the break. If it's a straightforward break then a professional athlete could be back in three months. The angle didn't look too gruesome when they showed it again, so fingers crossed. I had to have ORIF surgery on my ankle in February, and my leg definitely broke at a much, much stranger angle than what we saw today.

Where's Dr Jerseyspur? He'll know.

My guess is 3/4 months.

Such a shame, now we have no rotation option for Sandro. I feel so sorry for the kid. That is pretty much his season over and so too his World Cup! Awful thing to happen. And on a day we loose to Arse and sell Bale.

Thats football we have to deal with the potential loss and get on with it....I think Carroll has to stay.

 

[jolegend]

Fuck. Sake.

SAME injury Ramsey has- exactly the same. Jesus Christ- season over, we may have to invest in another cheap CDM
