2019/20 Andre Gomes

[mkrudden]

i know he's not back yet and just training, but that is a ridiculous recovery time

seen people fearing he wouldn't play again it looked that bad, fast forward 2 months he's all smiles back at finch farm

go head Andre lad

Aye, didn't realise we had so many qualified, expert physiotherapists / surgeons / doctors in here until Andre got injured.

Thankfully, nearly all were completely wrong.

Can't wait to see him back. By God we need him.

It took Ramsey 9 months and Eduardo 1 year to play again after similar injuries

Ankle injury pathology is very complex there’s a lot of different ligaments, bones and attachment points involved it’s silly to compare injury to injury

People are dead weird and just love to come up with end of the world scenarios in their heads. Absolutely no logic behind that, it was a broken ankle. Painful and looks horrible but at the end of the day it’s a routine operation for a surgeon.

Ramsey was a double leg break, nowhere near the same.

Heard yer da still lives in 1975 and thinks double leg breaks end careers.

I think breaking both legs at the same time could well end a career...

My wife's a physio and I've read 20 pages of one of her books on muscle injuries.

So I can safely say I'm in a position to 100% confirm Gomes will be at least on the bench Saturday and ready to come on if needed.

Oh ye deffo, people are just very glum about everything

Was having a debate with a kopite the next day in work and he was tryna tell me it's the worst injury he's ever seen, was like mate cisse's leg nearly fell off twice playing for youse, this is just a broken ankle

 

[everton1953]

A return in April is possible but optimistic.

Sports and medical science is constantly growing and improving, injury times are less because of better treatments/equipment/knowledge of injuries. Especially when you can afford the very best.

...in a way, a broken or dislocated ankle is an injury that a player recovers from, whereas when those big thigh muscles are seriously damaged they can repeat throughout a career. They will be re-introducing Gbamin very nervously.

Gbamin’s was a tendon injury on the big tendon in his quad. The club played it down, but the surgery was likely to require the tendons to be reattached via suture anchored to drill holes in the knee cap. Getting mobility back to the knee could take a long time. Gomes’s fracture dislocation probably more straightforward by comparison.

Damn! But I guess not too long ago would have been career ending at least at this level.

Get him juiced up to the gills and get him in against Newcastle

 

[jeremy1338]

Exactly the type of player that we needed today, can’t come back sooner
