Should make recovery less problematic. We all hope so anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st albans fox Posted 6 August 2021 Share Posted 6 August 2021 The window is open …..I wouldn’t put too much trust in any medical prognosis issued by the club until September. But then I am an old cynic with decades behind me of punters trying to screw me over ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As many have said, the break isn’t the issue really, as that’ll heal fairly quickly. It’s the ankle ligament damage and how that heals. And the phycological battle that ensues after such a terrible injury... that will be the biggest hurdle to getting back to his previous level 😥 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shattered my coccyx and couldn't sit down for 6 months. If Fofana is back inside that then its a miracle. Not quite as good as your ACL anecdote but right up there. That still makes me giggle although I appreciate it wasn't funny for you.... Geoff Capes. 🤣🤣🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's if he wants to, he might prefer to be in the Leicestershire countryside. His mate Soumaré will be around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, probably are, but nobody knows the prognosis at this stage, not until further tests etc. The article reads a little ambiguously (to me at least) as to whether there'll be an operation this weekend or that's just when further tests will take place but, either way, the picture isn't yet clear.

Popular Post CrispinLA in Texas Posted 6 August 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 6 August 2021 Surprised there has been no reaction from the Premier League or Uefa, if it had happened to a player in from a top elite club or done from by a player from the Premier League there would be so much fuss by the authorities, the Villarreal player Nino needs to brought in of a panel and banned for a season. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clever Fox Posted 6 August 2021 Share Posted 6 August 2021 Absolutely gutted for the young man. It's bad enough when any player picks up an injury during a game, but to have it happen in a meaning less game is just awful. the Villareal player needs to be sanctioned by Eufa. Otherwise there's no justice. Let's hope he makes a full recovery and gets back to his best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
