Prevention: Dont fall on an outstretched arm.

Hang on, all the amateur doctors said his career was over in the match thread.

I had to go to an ARSENAL forum to get a look at Hugo's injury....I mean WTF?

Didn’t want to get too gory but yes. Your elbow dislocates far enough it’ll go through your brachial.

1-3 weeks in a split followed by the same time again doing motion exercises, so probably looking at up to 6 weeks before he can start training, and even then it'll have to be managed to avoid a recurrence. I would suggest we'll see him by Christmas, but not much before. Mid December I'd say.

If correct that's fantastic news.

Hope to see him back soon and the forced rest will do him good. But we will miss his leadership

 

[NickHSpurs]

Surely depends what other damage to ligaments etc he sustained to how long he’ll be out.

 

[nailsy]

Get well soon Hugo.

What leadership? He always has an expression like he went on holiday and just remembered that he left the front door unlocked.

My imaginary licensed failed me. Thank fuck im not a doctor

The trouble can also be the mental effect. I dislocated my shoulder falling down some stairs. Although it felt better as n soon as they popped it back in, I've never had the same range of movement. However I've also been slightly scared to use the same range of movement that I always did. The physio told me that once you have dislocated something you are 50% more likely to keep on doing it. That might be at the back of Lloris' mind every time he jumps ip for a ball or rushes out or dives. He'll begin to second guess himself.

Just reading this... I’m no more positive about him playing before Feb... lines like ‘some people may never regain full mobility...’ even from a simple dislocation, and from a complex one it involves surgery? I am not a doctor. I have zero clue. But it reads like a pretty serious problem for a goalkeeper.
Orthopedic site

Also edited to note: Thomas Sorensen dislocated his elbow playing for Sunderland, a simple dislocation, no surgery. He was out for 3 months, he dislocated it again for Stoke a few years later for Stoke, again a ‘simple’ one. So it looks like the adage about it being more likely to reoccur is not wrong.

Talked to a friend who is a physio for a fencing team and he said more often than not a clean break is better, but best case it’s 2 months and some.

Don't want to kick a guy when he's down as I'm sure he's as aware as anyone, but when is it gonna end?

We just find new ways each week to embarass ourselves

Hope lloris injury isn’t as bad as it looks.
What do we do if he out for the season? Is Gazzaniga good enough for the rest of the season?

No sadly he isnt. He has big issues in getting down to low shots.

He isn't a leader, he's also far too calamity prone these days. We need to start looking for his replacement imo.

Butland or pope in January?

 

[rabbikeane]

Butland is considered one of the worst goal keepers in the Championship.

Butland has been shocking for Stoke. Best we can hope for is the loan a quality second choice from a foreign team

 

[YiddoTom90]

Nubel schalke. Next best german keeper
