Thank you Dr Kildare.

Or Dr No Little.

If he was turning, and his studs lock in the turf? Though that could more likely lead to ligament damage, I'd have thought?

Already ffs

Big blow this, one player who is nearly up to match fitness as well. As well as looking really sharp pre season, fuck sake

Oh no! Not the leg bone.

Haha

I'm assuming that if he needed surgery, he'll have had it by now, tomorrow at the latest.

I broke my ankle some years ago. Prepped for surgery (plate and pins) every morning for five days on the bounce, only for surgeon to come in and declare 'Still too swollen"

Yeah; that has been mentioned earlier on.

Nope. Break is when the bone snaps apart, fractures are when the bone stays intact but a bit of it splits. A break is like ripping a sheet of paper in two, a fracture is like tearing a tiny hole but leaving the rest of the sheet in tact.

Nope.

Any medical professionals here? Aren't a fracture and break. EXACTLY the same thing

Yep.
To clear up some confusion over the break vs fracture talk on this thread:

They're the same thing.
If your femur is in half, it's fractured.
If you have a non-displaced tiny hairline crack, it's fractured.
If your bone is in 10 pieces, it's fractured.

So that term tells us nothing as to severity of the injury.

Very unlucky for the guy as he was looking great in pre-season.

FFS!!!

Glass of milk and a cold wet sponge possibly?

I had a leg fracture and was told it was NOT “broken,” but it WAS “cracked.”

I was also told I had “fractured” my wrist, but on the x-ray it was in two pieces, so I’d have called that “broken.”

As for my medical credentials, I drink Diet Dr Pepper, so there’s that…

More importantly, here’s wishing Oscar Bobb Bobb Bobb a speedy and complete recovery. Take your time, come back ready, and it will be like getting a brand new $50M signing for Christmas!!!
