Joel Robles

[Goat]

Grade 1 contusions will feel tightness in the thigh, the patient may walk with a limp. There is unlikely to be much swelling. Trying to straighten the knee against resistance probably won't produce much pain and the patient will still have nearly a full range of motion when stretching the muscle.

Grade 2 the patient is unlikely to be able to walk properly. There will be occasional sudden twinges of pain during activity, possible swelling and straightening the leg against resistance reproduces pain. Pressing in over the site of injury will be painful and the patient will be unable to fully bend the knee.

Grade 3 contusions mean the patient will be unable to walk with the aid of crutches. They will be in severe pain and significant swelling will appear immediately. Contracting the muscle may produce a visible bulge or gap in the muscle. Expect to be out of competition for 3 to twelve weeks.

A dead leg can be extremely painful and is a frequent injury in contact sports.



Who?
Footballers and any other people involved in contact sports.

How?
Heavy impact to the quadriceps causing the muscle to be crushed against the bone.

This causes a tearing of the muscle within the sheath that surrounds it.

What kind of pain?
Hurts at point of impact and usually tingling in leg. Also swelling, bruising and sometimes restricted movement.

Treatment?
Rest, ice, compress and elevate. Use a compression bandage until pain ceases.

Return?
Can take days or weeks to recover.

when is it being stitched back on? I played the game a dead leg out one week tops!
I worked in midweek in a manual job too!

4 starts 3 clean sheets.

Stek I think was 13 games without a clean sheet. With some horrible mistakes thrown in there, like the Ibrahimovic goal.

Neither keeper is the long term answer so it makes sense to stick with the man in the best form, and that's Joel now by some distance.

Well some people on here, don't laugh actually believed the myth that Robles was keeping De Gea out of the Madrid team and Spanish youth teams.

If this was early Man Utd form December Gea I could possibly believe that, but let's be honest it's just not true lol

It was true Robles in his youth was ahead of De Gea in Spain in the youth set up- its now that matters though TBH!
Robles is still a young keeper -needs a run the team to see if he can solidify a place tbh!

so in his youth he was ahead of De Gea!
He has potential, and yes its now that matters!

You do realise that Robles has only got one cap for each age group while De Gea has caps into double figures.

So, he was never ahead of De Gea.

Robles couldn't catch a cold !!

Can't catch, won't catch.

if he is close to De gea whose first run in the prem was dodgy to say the least - then Robles may be ok, as we have hardly seen him have a run in the team as yet Howard should have been dropped 18 months before we sold him and the Stek aged 34 a reserve at Southampton a flop at Fulham is not the answer either joel will either make it or not he has youth on his side any rate and keeps more clean sheets!
also an FA Cup winner too!

Steklenburg has won numerous league titles and trophies with Ajax and has a World Cup Final appearance and over 50 caps for his country.

Not sure if that FA Cup winner medal trumps that unfortunately.

Either way, both are not good enough. I also don't see Robles as a young keeper anymore.

hes younger than 34 and has not got dodgy knees!

One thing is for sure, I do not envy the competition of being a professional keeper. this season so far shows how quickly things can change then change again for a keeper
