Blue_Guru Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Went straight to hospital Martin Gray says they will find out how bad it is later on tonight or tomorrow morning how bad did it look? Think he landed awkwardly when jumping for the header so could be anything from twisted ankle, strained/snapped ligaments or broken ankle!

Guest sheridans_world Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Ouch, I thought super physio would have stopped some injuries. Ones like this cant be helped though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudemedic Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 The fact that they didn't hang around getting the leg brace out and him on the strecher is not a good sign. He looked to be in a lot of pain and it could be that he's broke the bottom of his tibia (the big shin bone) (with a possible break of the other shin bone as well) with a twisting injury. My Dad said he looked very pale and clammy when he was being carted off (which is not a good thing). One good thing was that apparently there was no blood on the sock- which indicates it isn't a compund fracture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alec1954 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 We have too many crocks..... half the team is injured and we will be lucky to survive this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ste1987 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Looked in significant discomfort. Seemed to brace his left leg rather quick from the shin down to his ankle. Definitely will be out for a while! One of the stewards who carried him off with the rest when he came back said it did look a serious one, and there was some blood around the knee area.

rudemedic Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 How long at uni and you didn't add anything to what BlueGuru said Long enough and Yes I didn't add much to what Blue_Guru said (although If you read what I said properly I did) because it wasn't like I was able to run on to the pitch to see the exact details of his injury first hand and have a good old feel of his leg with 5341 people watching.

footy68 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 It was down near where i was sat. They gave him gas/air (entonox?) and didn't remove the sock and shinny, he also looked a little more bandy than normal, not good, get well soon Jon.

rosa Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Didn't look good (physio was very quick to shout for the doctor/stretcher) and OS saying suspected broken femur. I really hope he hasn't, that's the kind of injury you'd associate with a traffic accident rather than a sports injury. I blame today's programme for asking him if he'd ever broken a bone: "I have had dozens of X-rays and thankfully I have not (touch wood) broken anything...yet." Jinx it why don't you.

Oh dear a broken femur can actually be a life threatening injury (not in this case I don't think but you can loose a lot of blood into your thigh). How long is Worthy's contract? Because this could put him out until the start of the season- 2011/12. Any player requiring Gas n Air (although I didn't see that) is in a lot of pain as that is supposed to be some good stuff.

davebuckley06 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 looked very painful from were i was sat and i imediatly turned round and said he had broke his leg but im no doctor. am i right i saying the femur is the top part of your leg? didnt look like that from were i was looked lower leg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosa Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 am i right i saying the femur is the top part of your leg? didnt look like that from were i was looked lower leg yeah it's your thigh bone. it's the biggest bone in your body so it takes a lot of force to break it if you're young and healthy.

singe Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 We have too many crocks..... half the team is injured and we will be lucky to survive this year. One defeat does not condemn us to that fate. If we had won, we'd have been in the pay off places, and everyone would have been dizzy with excitement. And thinking we would be able to kick on when the injured players return We know where the problems are, January will go a long way to deciding that, and the realists amongs us knew that DP could not create a team challenging for promo out of the squad he had to start with. Even opposition managers are noticing out work rate and endeavour, and once we get a few players back. In recent seasons the players coming in have really struggled, whereas this season ours have flourished up to now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie_J Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 One of the stewards that carried him off, said that he had dislocated his knee I've done that twice (which obviously makes me harder than Worthy). If that's true, I doubt very much we'll see him again this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemathieson Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I jumped up for a header once, landed in a divot and fractured my ankle, few months out! It was the week before Beckham did his metatarsel before the 2002 World Cup, and we had a similar recovery pattern. I wasn't fit for the World Cup though, and neither was he really!
