Sam McCallum injury (3 Viewers)

Looks like he did his knee yesterday. Surely not another ACL. Didn’t see any comment on it did I miss it?

Not been mentioned yet, but it didn't look good. Usually with such things if it requires a scan etc they wait a few days for the swelling to subside.

I thought that, but didn't they seem to diagnose Jobellos really quickly?

I'm sure he'll be fine. There's an acl fear going round at the moment but I thought he just landed heavily? Played quite well. Like Mason looks 10 times better than last season

At the time it looked bad judging by the look on his face and the physio.

He sat on the bench though rather than going down the tunnel so would have thought it isn't as serious.

I seen Jobello coming down the steps from the stand on Sunday. No limp or any walking impediment. He surely can't have had the op yet if that is the case?

That was another foul missed by the ref

They have to wait for the swelling to go down, usually takes a few weeks

Ah. Thanks

For my first I couldn’t get an op for a while but it can be done sooner. For the next one I had an MRI a few hours after I did it and was under the knife the next morning.

I believe Sam Mccullum is back in training so it was nothing serious

Excellent! Thanks

Might have just been a dead leg?

I think you are probably right Nick

I would say we have had more ACL injuries in the last 2 years than the previous 40
Graham oakey and Danny Thomas (albeit after he left) being 2 that spring to mind - but not that many others I can think of

Looks fine going down a slide think he’s blagging it

 

[better days]

There is discussion about the number of players who sustain ACL injuries while wearing Nike boots
Probably needs a full study to see if there is anything in it

 

[no_loyalty]

If he is out for a while, wonder if we have a recall option on Brown?

Stewart Robson, Lee Hurst? Not 100% sure they were ACLs but as they were both effectively career ending, I'd guess they were. I've a feeling injuries are reported on in greater detail these days. Would have just been a 'knee injury' 20+ years ago.

Is it possible to have a small ACL tear without need for an op? Keeping fingers crossed Jobello falls into that category.

Yes but it's unlikely you could play professional football.

Recovery time quicker though?
