Off Topic Injury update 2022/2023

^^^^ this.

 

Was listening to some podcasts who had some sports scientists and physios on, discussing the Joe Gomez injury. And it sounds a lot worse than I had expected.

The ACL is often the injury that people associate as one of the worst ones but because it's so common, the whole procedure and recovery is extremely advanced, and majority of players can now return back to peak conditions / performance.

But the surgery to stick the patella tendon sounds incredibly difficult and there is no way to determine how successful it is until months down the line when the muscle grows. If the stitches were done too high, then the knee cannot move freely. If it's done too low, then there will be a lot of pain and discomfort.

Patella Tendon rupture has one of the lowest success rates in pro athletes returning to previous peaks - the rate in the NFL is 25% of athletes returning to peak conditions.

Will try to remain positive but I do think this could seriously harm Joe's career (at least with LFC).

 

Henderson to be assessed after coming off at HT last night with muscle tightness .

 

Withdrawn fron the England squad.

Looks like its nothing serious, hopefully should be ok for the weekend

 

it did sound precautionary so certainly good chance for Atalanta .

 

Especially as Joe is one of the fastest, most mobile CB's in the league. It doesn't look good at all/ Let's hope the FA are up to date on their insurance premiums.

 

Bobby tested positive for Covid

 

oh ffs this is now getting silly

 

I did mention this several days ago.

 

I can find nowt saying Bobby has tested positive just speculation that would have to self isolate due to another Brazil player testing positive but surely if him or Becker have been classed as close contacts we would have already heard about that .

 

I was sent this ,so don't know how kosher it is.

Andy Robertson injured nothing too major..expected back before or after next international break.

 

Ankle ligaments are 6 -10 weeks. We'll be lucky to see him before the end of September. Trust Dr Donga - I'm usually right on these things.

 

Before or after - so basically some undefined point in the future?

 

Jurgen says not

 

You trust Jurgen over me?

Daft ****er said we had enough CB's last summer when we let Lovren go,

 

I think they have said 4 to 6 weeks but could have been worse.
Its an incredibly painful injury initially as some on here will know.

 

Is this a sign of things to come again............ and still no transfer action...very worrying.
