Maybe he borrowed cudichini's motobike?

To be fair - the club call it a fractured wrist, which may be semantics, but I think a fracture is less troublesome than an actual break.

The OS played this one right. When I saw "Hugo update" I feared something worse than a match or two with Vorm in goal.

 

[stuffies]

Well that will stop anymore transfer talk for this window lol
But dam....hope he recovers quick.

Hehe.. you remember a couple of summers ago when Bale was injured? yeah huh ehhh oh no

Lots of people believe they are different things but a break and a fracture are the same thing.

The only ones which are not so bad are hairline fractures. The really bad ones are compound fractures but they are all bone breaks to one degree or another.

Too much choking the chicken

Real Madrid announce interest in Lloris. 30 minutes late official site reports broken wrist... ?!?!?! Suspicious? Reports of Lloris trying to leave Levy's office with a dwarf hanging from his wrist surface the next day ...

As I posted on the "Player Watch - Lloris" thread:

I'm never sure where this notion came from, but there is no difference at all between a "fracture" and a "break". Fracture is a slightly medical word for a broken bone. They are entirely synonymous.

Don't take my word for it:

At least he wont be able to sign a contract with Utd now

I guess broken is when it looks mashed and fractured is when it is under the skin. Fracture is a little more reassuring than break but then when your leg's hanging off i'd be more inclined to call it a break.

 

[spursram]

Better get Brad warmed up.

 

[Spur4life]

I just hope he comes back asap but then i have that feeling that maybe he might be gone before the transfer market to man u.We might leave it late and man u will offer players and cash for him if they lose there keeper.

How very Spursy of him

 

[strader]

break, fracture, dislocation, all in the same crazy family. I had a lunate dislocation and damaged ligaments in my wrist in February playing football and it still has healed.

Get well soon Hugo.

He's ambidextrous unfortunately

OK. For the third time...
