Poor lad...the punctured lung could have been very dangerous and painful. He is in for a lot of discomfort whilst he recovers. Broken arm would have been easier...can't really immobolise ribs.
Two broken ribs and a pneumothorax, I had the same injury when hit by that vintage aeroplane in Germany! I can assure you that it does hurt, but I was luckily a quick healer and it had healed in about four or five weeks, the knee that I also injured still gives me problems! No football for me these days.
You say that Richie as if you've been popping round to "check she's ok"
Oh I wish
No she posted the message on Instagram which someone had posted on another forum.
Well, I hope that the Palace fans who booed him off the pitch feel suitably embarrassed.

Get well soon Shane
Poor bloke ! Hope we recovers well , having had open heart surgery I know the feeling of broken ribs all too well !
Same reason we used to boo him for when he was playing for the opposition, he has the ability to annoy in bucketloads.
I got a similar injury playing eggball at school. I was pretty tender for 5 or 6 weeks and compounded the misery by getting a cough shortly after the injury
Many years ago I cracked a rib playing 5 a side and had to avoid driving through Portsmouth for about 3 weeks.
Poor Shane. He works tirelessly and I guess injuries like this are the risk you take with his style of play- fast, tenacious harassment of defenders. I worry his fitness will drop off as he has to rest completely.
