Hopefully just precaution

Yes, looking at it from a medical viewpoint the signs aren't too bad, although there is only a very limited amount you can say now and no firm conclusions at all until after the scans have been taken, there's definitely no chance of being sure now.

The fact that he played on and ran relatively freely for sometime after the injury is a good sign but that's all, and that is even if it was not comfortably or aided by pain killers, but the boot is very likely to be precautionary whatever the extent of the damage.

It's only sensible to avoid putting any unnecessary weight on it and would have been a surprise if he didnt have one. He was the victim of a reckless two footed scythe tackle with both feet off the ground flying into his ankle. A badly swollen ankle is the very minimum that would occur even if there was only superficial bruising, until we get the scans we can not know more.

So really the boot tells us nothing more than we already knew during and after the match. He was the victim of a bad tackle, was able to play on and contribute significantly but is bound to go for scans even if only precautionary ones. The boot is just standard practice with such an injury.

The good thing is he'll miss the internationals whatever now as we'll pull him out even if there's nothing serious.
 
Our player of the season so far and it's not even close, which is some going when you have Gueye and Keane competing for it.

Playing him in the correct position has paid off, unsurprisingly.


Last few games he has been excellent...cant fault him at all.

However, from minute 1 Digne has been top top class.

Hope they can keep up the performances for the rest of the season.
