Problem is that if Brendan says Evans is out for three months, then any CB we try to buy goes up in price by £10m.

Smart thing is to play it cool and say we've got excellent 

Options of getting a player in on loan

Anyone else think his foot looks a bit weird here?

I've also had planta fasciitis, and dont suffer at all now with the help of some custom insoles for a while.  It is something that can return though if you dont wear good comfortable footwear most of the time.

No, I think you are over analysing it.

Literally zoomed in and did the same thing. The highest arch I've ever seen.

As someone who has suffered from plantar fasciitis it one of those things that can just disappear as easy as it came.

 

I wouldn't write him off just yet. 

.. it is the unpredictability of the problem that is the most concern!!!

  I have found it to be footwear that brings it to the fore, I have stopped wearing certain shoes in order to combat this.

  If it is going to raise its head having completed warm up and about to go on the pitch, he will have little or no control of the circumstances.

  If an operation is required to manage the ailment to any degree, as a professional sportsman, he would need to take up the option, as it could conceivably curtail his career.

Because we're worried!..

So, just toe the line!

Fofana is done for the season and we all know Evans will miss at least 10 games, if not more, due to injury. And he's 34 soon.. Can't wait for us to rely on Amartey in crunch back to back games against Liverpool and Chelsea.

I know, it sends shivers down my spine as well.

Has an alternative name of Policemans Heel, so he needs to stop wearing policemans boots and he'll be fine for the start of the PL.

Not too far out fitness wise https://www.lcfc.com/news/2213507/rodgers-provides-castagne-evans--fofana-injury-updates

Out til after the international break. When at that point he'll be 'reassessed'

Hasn't trained or played a match since the FA Cup final...

 

I will be honest I am not hopeful about his full recovery from this, for whatever reason he just seems to be really struggling with it

Agreed. I think it could be one that niggles away at him for a considerable amount of time, more than what it has been.

Sound really weird phrasing, Why not assess now .

Because they have assessed it now and it's not good enough for him to play.  After the international break, enough time will have passed that it would make sense to reassess and see if more progress has been made.

[SkidsFox]

Hoping for a September comeback, but not looking great.

[Leicester_Loyal]

If he hasn't trained since the FA Cup final then it'll surely take him a few weeks even after he's recovered from the injury to get match fit and ready again? We could be looking at 25th Sept vs. Burnley or October here at best.

[coolhandfox]

As some who has suffered plantar fasciitis. it a horrible thing to deal with. 

[FoyleFox]

With Brendan's track record on injury updates and Evans being reassessed in September we'll be lucky to see him before Christmas...

It's reported this is a Plantar Fascitis injury; this will not be short term as explained in article below:

 

https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/14709-plantar-fasciitis

 

Even allowing that he will be receiving professional treatment, I think we could be looking at Jan/Feb before he returns, on best case scenario. Totally speculative of course, but after recovery he has to get match fit. This is a difficult injury for a professional footballer; I hope the medical team can work out the specific cause otherwise this will be even more serious tas problem could easily be repeated.

[Grebfromgrebland]

We probably need another centre back this window or a loan
