MackworthRamIsGod Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Has there been any indication on the severity of his injury? It didn't look too good when he went off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bald Eagle's Barmy Army Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I think you could tell on his face that it wasn’t good. Will be at least 24 hours I think before they can assess properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desirelines Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I think FL said he'll be having a scan today/tomorrow. Yeah, you're right, it didn't look good. That could be him done for the season, realistically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRam Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 The way he went down, the physio work, the way he seemed to regain a little confidence in it after a few minutes of treatment, then the instant grimace when he played the ball with his bad leg, all point towards a ligament injury. Severity isn't set in stone but we know how bad it can be. I've noticed a few times players regain a little short-term confidence with what turns out to be an ACL injury. Very rarely happens with any other kind of injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can pass AND tackle then you can't go more than 45 mins without injury - If you can do one or the other you'll mostly be fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannable Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Do other clubs get them as frequently as we do? We’ve had at least one a season since 14/15; Thorne, Hughes, Fozzy, Fozzy, Winnall, Olsson and now it’s looking bad for Evans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edtheram Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 looked similar as to what Ronaldo did in the Euros he came back on but was fooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Was definately a knee injury, and the way he was moving seemed very reminiscent of a number of ACL injuries we’ve had... Won’t know until after the scan, guess we just have to hope it’s a more minor ligament strain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought, with the caveat that I am no medic, that with injuries affecting the knee the default should be to get them off the pitch right away and have the extent properly assessed. Not sure the magic sponge works any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought, with the caveat that I am no medic, that with injuries affecting the knee the default should be to get them off the pitch right away and have the extent properly assessed. Not sure the magic sponge works any more. My assumption is that that kind of injury feels completely normal when your leg is in a rested position. So the players feel a lot of pain, then the physio works the leg a bit and then all of a sudden it feels OK. Then they try and kick something and they know. I get what you're saying, but I imagine that severe initial pain followed by it getting better is also what happens when it was just an awkward blow rather than an injury, which could explain why they keep coming back on. Having said that, one thing I don't understand is I'm fairly certain one of the physios made the substitution hand-signal to the bench the first time he came off. Which actually makes it possible that they sent him back on purely so it was 11 v 11, while Ledley got ready, which seems like an unnecessary risk to me.

gccrowdpleaser Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Looked bad. More from the way he pulled his shirt over his face. Seemed like he knew it was bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inglorius Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I hope it's not serious for the lad. On a larger picture injuries are part and parcel of the game and if Evans is out for a significant amount of time it just serves to highlight our paucity of options in that area. Comparing this to our massively bloated squad that demonstrates very poor judgement and planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamLad1884 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 He was reduced to tears as he came off, the general actions from the players and coaching staff suggest they all know its a bad injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbobram Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 From the tests they were doing on him and the way he fell looks like ACL or at least some sort of ligament injury. I hope not but doesn't look good for him. I thought he looked really good before hand. Tackles, interception, passing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Evans, Thorne, Johnson, Huddlestone, Ledley equals 500% coverage of that position I would say that is generally a sufficient quantity. Not sure if paucity is really the word you are looking for ?
