Any news on the injury?

 

Puel said on radio he's got a scan tomorrow. Kind of suggests it's not a break, which I find incredible. He must have eaten many petit filous in his youth

Sounded like a nasty injury, hoping he's not out for too long.

 

We'll have to consider recalling Barnes in January if he's out for a while.

Gray is still here and it may not be as serious as first feared. Might just be ligaments. Some positive news #LCFC

Ankles can sometimes look a lot worse than they are because they can go sideways as well as forward and back, so hopefully that might be the case here - having said that, it didn't look great that A) his ankle went the 'wrong' way, bending outside rather than in, and that he seemed to be holding his shin rather than the ankle itself.

I had something vaguely similar once in that I got caught in a tangle of legs while sprinting and basically put my entire bodyweight onto the side of my ankle at full speed - made a horrendous crack and I was rolling round swearing like a sailor - the ref apparently said at the time he would have put his mortgage on it being a break. Turned out it was just a badly sprained ligament, and I was walking on it (albeit very, very gingerly!) the next day - don't get me wrong, I wasn't running on it for the best part of two months (albeit I'm an unfit 34 year-old with no access to a physio), but sometimes these things can look terrible and turn out to just be a relatively 'routine' injury. Hope that's the case here.

I broke my ankle and tore the ligaments over a year ago - it's still dodgy now. No laughing matter either, it's ****ing agony. 

 

Hope the best for him.

Tanner isn't always right about these things, so I wouldn't take that as gospel

Of course not - but still a bit of a glimmer. Often injuries can look far more horrific than they end up being, you remember this is a professional athlete with degrees of flexibility beyond what most of us have known. Ankles may not have been designed to bend that way, but these guys are best equipped to handle it of anyone.

 

Anyways, fingers crossed.

You usually judge these things on player reactions. He looked in absolute agony and worse for me it took him about ten seconds to react which indicates shock then pain. I think it’s a bad one but really hope it isn’t! 

 

EDIT: Excellent news above! I always forget most premier league clubs can do X-Rays on site

No Break 

 

Phew, it looked really had. Testament to the lads strength & the training regime to give him a strong/elastic enough ankle

Nerdy, boring, irresponsible medical speculation:

 

Well, that is sort of good news that reports are it seems less serious. If that is true, odds are there is no break, so you look to the ankle ligaments. Most typically, you're looking at the lateral ligaments on the outside of the foot with this sort of injury, assuming no break.

 

(In case anyone doesn't know, an ankle sprain is what it is called when the ankle ligament(s) stretch beyond their limits and tear to some extent. Ankle sprains have three grades, 1, 2, and 3, with a grade 3 sprain being the most severe.) 

 

If it were grade 3, I sort of doubt there would be much in the way of optimism at all, so I am guessing they suspect grade 2. If grade 2, figure 8-10 weeks before he plays first team football again, though rehab may cost him some extra time. If it is a grade 3, that will be much trickier, that would be a complete tear, and IDK what they do in the UK these days, maybe a stem cell injection, hopefully nothing stupid like surgery (we do that here in the U.S. despite no real data to suggest it yields better outcomes, in fact it usually means a greater chance of ankle arthritis). I'd guess they go non-surgical, but recovery time takes a lot of time to recover, figure 3-6 months.

 

Alternatively, it might also be an avulsion fracture, which is where the ligament tears from the bone rather than rupturing, though that causes the bone to fracture. I mention it bc they are often misdiagnosed as muscle strains. An avulsion fracture typically takes 1-3 months to heal, longer for him to actually see the field.

He’ll be alright. Just seen it. It could have been a lot worse. His toe just gets released at the right moment. Don’t think it helped with the Wolves twit landing on his knee

Ligament injuries could be months as well. 

 

I was about to say a ligament snap is worse than the bone breaking.

 

He looked in a world of pain From where I was sat.

Likely to be ligaments as mentioned. Did look awful and he gestured straight away. Protective boot and crutches, scan tomorrow. Few weeks out minimum.
