Got involved again in a few chains. Love that he has a willingness to take the game on and actually try to spot up a team mate. Has pace and a competitive edge that should see him debut by end of the year imho

one of my favourites

Rumours that he has bone bruising in his foot (stress fracture / hot spot maybe?)

We really have such shit luck with feet

First-year defender Jayden Nguyen will miss the next seven weeks after scans revealed a bone stress injury in his foot.

 

[Cold Sober]

Sad news, he looks promising, thought he was close to getting a game in the big league.

Do other clubs get this many stress reactions, feet or back?
It feels we have 1-2 every year.

and said injuries turn into repeat hamstrings that ruin careers (see Ridley, see Parish)

Hopefully a hot spot instead of a stress fracture and proceeding with caution. At least it isn't plantar fasciitis

A stress reaction is a hell of a lot more serious than plantar fasciitis.

What is the difference between a hot spot and a stress fracture?

What is the difference between a hot spot and a stress fracture?

Precursor to a break. Basically stop or it's going to break.

 

[div12ressie]

7 weeks yeah right lol, will be out for around 10-12 weeks

Do they water the ground at the hangar to keep it soft?

What is the difference between a hot spot and a stress fracture?

As Merc said, it's the precursor to a stress fracture. It's visible on an MRI and it's 'uncomfortable' but you can generally warm it up and run on it so if it was a GF you'd probably play through it. If you pick it up at that point you can manage your way through it over a few weeks to a month if it's not too advanced.

If you leave it, then it'll eventually start to properly fracture which means the recovery period is a lot longer, but the pain is also a lot worse. Depending on your pain threshold and desperation you might push through it for a time, but ultimately it'll just get worse and you extend the time to recover.

[Old Campaigner]

Is that some kind of record number of debuts?

Not bad for a guy who never plays the kids

 

[andleanback]

Very quick into the side after only recently coming back from injury

 

[JayJ20]

Very quick into the side after only recently coming back from injury

Ironically it's the same method that gave him the chance to debut

 

[dank420_]

Stoked for him!

that's funny and original and has no further context

Well at this stage he is playing players that can get out of bed!
