Just a an aside, does he actually  have to leave his leg at right angles for a few days til the club choose the right surgeon and procedure? 

 

Or does some junior nigtshift doctor at the infirmary yank it into place?

I think Brendan said a "trauma doctor" put it back in place in the change rooms

Friendly that we lost 2-1 if I remember rightly. Luckily the Burton player was alright and Shakespeare did the decent thing and took Benalouane off immediately. 

Can anyone explain what it is about the dangerous tackles and resulting bad injuries that seem to happen quite regularly in these friendlies? For example the Benalouane tackle and Balde’s tackle on Wesolowski that virtually ended his career. And now this recklessly stupid tackle/assault on Forfana. 

 

Why do do these players get so worked up in what is supposed to be a friendly occasion? Surely the managers must tell them to not over exert themselves anyway. Maybe it’s more noticeable because everyone is hoping that injuries don’t occur in the first place whereas in the rough and tumble of competitive action it’s a risk that’s accepted.

Leicester's own 'trauma' doc put Wesley's ankle back into place on the field (or shortly thereafter) if that's what you're asking.

 

Seems like a wise move now by BR to restructure the medical team and employ his specialist services.

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that Wesley Fofana fractured his fibula during the 3-2 pre-season friendly victory over Villarreal at King Power Stadium on Wednesday evening.
- Brendan Rodgers delivers an update on the condition of Wesley Fofana
- The Leicester City defender fractured his fibula in Wednesday's friendly against Villarreal
- Rodgers says Fofana will have another scan on Thursday to determine the next steps
- City have no other new injury concerns ahead of the FA Community Shield on Saturday

The France Under-21s centre-back was withdrawn from the field of play on a stretcher in the 65th minute after receiving medical treatment and, speaking ahead of Saturday's FA Community Shield clash with Manchester City, Rodgers provided an update on his condition on Thursday. 

"He fractured his fibula," the Foxes manager told the media. "Obviously, it was a horrendous injury for us and we’re obviously devastated for him because he’s a top-class young player, so he’s going to be a huge loss for us. Our medical team were fantastic on the night.

"Our staff at the Club and all the people in the hospital really looked after him.

[The scan] will give us a clearer indication of how long he’s going to be out. Of course, it was a horrible injury and we were all thinking of him last night.

Brendan Rodgers
"He has another scan today because his ankle was so swollen we had to leave it overnight. That will give us a clearer indication of how long he’s going to be out. Of course, it was a horrible injury and we were all thinking of him last night.

"We now hope Wesley will be back as soon as he possibly can be and we’ll support him in that recovery."

Elsewhere, there are no fresh injury concerns for City in the days leading up to their visit to Wembley Stadium, a 5:15pm BST kick-off on Saturday, with a number of players working at LCFC Training Ground towards their returns from injury.

"It's just the guys who haven’t been involved over the course of pre-season," Rodgers added. "The likes of Papy [Mendy], Jonny [Evans], James Justin. James is coming along very well, but of course, he’s still a few months away. Timothy Castagne trained with the squad for the first time, which is great news for us.

"He’s physically in a very good place, but he’s had his mask on today in training with the squad, so he won’t be available for the game, but hopefully, with confidence in training, he won’t be too far away. Apart from that, we’re okay."

I still say we plan for the worst case and hope for the best.

'I was very, very scared for Wesley (Fofana) when I saw the pictures (of his injury). Apparently it is less serious than expected. At the club we are all behind him'

 

Despite the "intesitee" of the tackle

A class act imo

Did a job but wasn't the man to take us forward. 

No hard feelings from me with his departure, but glad we made the change when we did
