Latest Injury (and Recovery!) Mews

MrsGrey

Just done a bit of googling on ankle injuries + recovery time. Ranges from 2 or 3 weeks for mild sprain through to months for severely damaged ligaments, which may or may not require surgery. Obviously, surgery lengthens the recovery time. They usually wait a few days before doing the scan and getting a diagnosis.

After Ginge went off he later returned to the bench with the aid of a stick not wearing any socks or boots and no sign of any ice pack etc.

No ice-pack? ;hmm Seems odd if it's a ligament injury; there's usually a lot of swelling when they go.

I was out for three months when I did my ankle ligaments a few years ago. Hopefully with some professional care Ginge won't be out for that long.

Id have thought he broke a small bone.

SuzanneClaret

Soft tissue injuries are always treated with ice.

No way, without X-ray/scan would they be able tell a soft tissue injury from a small bone fracture.

It sounds like they need me on the staff ;biggrin

Well, I'm open to offers ;wink

MrsGrey

You only ice in 20 minute chunks, so he might have had that done in the dressing room, Then come out to watch some of the game, and had another icing session a bit later.....

another icing session

He sounds like a birthday cake

IronHerb

Ginge has a sprain, hopefully 2-3 weeks.

Also: “Mark has returned to full training and is available for selection tomorrow,” he said. “Edimilson is progressing well following the ankle sprain he suffered on international duty with Switzerland, and should resume full training in the next few days.

I'm not sure I knew Edi's was a sprain. I think I thought it was a broken foot? Or have I made that up?

IronHerb

Initially rumoured as a 'broken' foot but quickly became reported as a sprain.

Any news on Antonio?

IronHerb

Yeah, he went off injured.

ASLEFshrugged

Slaven says "It is a groin. He felt it a bit. He didn’t pull it big time, but we have to scan it first to see how big or how bad it is".

The last time I felt a groin a bit in public I was arrested.......

Slav now saying that he could be ready for Swansea?

Yeoldhammer

Whufc bulletin account (accurate) says that Hernandez is a doubt after picking up a knock in training yesterday.

grey_til_I_dye

(accurate) - for a given value of accurate... ;wink

Lukerz

Well they mainly report team news (starting XI's) and injury news. No transfer stuff or at mass speculation. So obviously knows someone or something.

He's been 100% accurate since I'vd followed them, which is 2 weeks now. Not an attention seeking account, tbf, mainly just team news.

Slaven_Cups_His_Beard

Ex also reporting about Hernandez knock and faces a test

For all the rubbish out there, I'm guessing some of the news is true.

MrsGrey

Bilic presser today...

Antonio 'should' be back after the international break, Byram out for '4 or 5 weeks'.
