Capoue - Sprained ankle (4 weeks)

[Makkaveli101]

I'm glad he's okay. I think he's going to be a great player for us, though he gave the ball away a lot yesterday.

LOL at some of the comments above. I was watching the game with two other Spurs mates, and we were smugly talking about what a tough, brick shithouse we now have in the middle of the park - and then alas he was rolling around on the pitch with his hands over his face almost in tears -- because of sprained ankle... our conversation kind of tailed off and then there was an awkward silence.

l'équipe not saying anything about ligament - they're just saying nothing's broken and that he's out for the international games.

I really hope this is true and it's what i thought it ight be at the time. Ligament damage is nasty but IMHO better than a break.

Great news from Spurs that it's only a sprain, and he is only expected to be out 4 weeks ...sorry my for my earlier post ,seems their was several misleading quotes yesterday saying they were from l'équipe . Just glad it wasn't as bad as first feared !

Missing the agree rating right now. Not to mention the stretcher and oxygen. A certain beast would have just walked it off no problem.

Dislocated my shoulder several times, but a Sprained ankle is the worst pain I have ever felt. I did one recently and it was agony. It heals a lot quicker of course than a broken leg but the instability remains and there is a high chance of reoccurence in the next few months.

Great news. Looked pretty awful when he sustained the injury, so I'm happy to see it's "only" a sprain. Was worried he'd be out for 6-8 months.

 

[whitelightwhiteheat]

Thank God it's only 4 weeks. I was fearing a 8-9 months on the sidelines - with a month or two to get back to where we was.

Good news!

Good to hear it wasn't longer. He is a very important player for us.

For what it is worth, wiki has some information.

Best news of day

Seemingly great news but I hope we have better medical staff than we had in the past.

 

[not_tenth-again]

Haha,absolutely!
A sprained fucking ankle and he is rolling around taking in oxygen like a big girl's blouse?
Man up you big ponce.

I'm presuming you'd say the same thing to his face?

Good luck to you if you would...

So Capoue is a big wuss?

Can people please stop this? Just be happy he'll be back in action sooner rather than later.

OOOhhhh my name's jonnyp and I lurve Capoue....

just kidding, as I'm sure he was.

What brilliant news that it's "only" a sprain. As soon as he did it I shouted to the wife in the garden "Capoue's out for the season" so this is a real result for him and us

Hahah, you tit To be honest I'm not that bothered since Sandro is back. I just know what a bad sprain in an ankle feels like and anyone who hasn't experienced it and is talking about what a pussy he is should just zip it.

For me the sprained ankle was almost as painful as when I broke my femur and both wrists in a bicycle accident. Maybe I am a wuss, I know I'm big at least

Ankle sprains seem to be in fashion:

Also - as implied in the article - we probably dont have the final verdict on Capoues injury just yet.

 

[SandroRedknapp]

Literally just saw him in North Finchley McDonald's - was wearing a protective boot and on crutches!

That doesn't sound good

Could be a ligament or the joint capsule. Had an injury like that when I played handball, extremely painful (no one gave me oxygen, was 16-17 and jumped of the court myself, handball is different) and took about a month to heal with the foot inmobilized.

Hope he gets well soon and that it isn't too serious.
