Haji Wright injury (31 Viewers)

[GaryJones]

Does anyone know the extent of Haji Wrights injury?
Apparently the team coach stopped at the services on the way home today and the players chatted with supporters so wonder if anyone asked how he was?
He is the only consistent goalscorer we have right now so I’m hoping he is not out for an extended period.

The players won't know. No one will until scans are done.

It looked like a nasty ankle twist. It will be ligament damage of some degree.

I'd guess a minimum of 4 weeks.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I think he’ll miss maximum 1 game after the international break

I think he’ll miss maximum 1 game after the international break

Based on?

 

[Marty]

Was a nasty one, went right over his ankle, it was bad enough he couldn't put weight on it and needed a stretcher so would have thought new year before he's back.

 

[edgy]

I think that he couldn't limp around the pitch was telling.

 

[AJB1983]

How it’s not broken I don’t know - but I reckon it’ll be ligaments so it’ll be weeks won’t it.
Massive blow if so.

The optimist in me hopes that was precautionary to avoid potential further damage.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Looks quite a nasty twist so I reckon 5-6 weeks

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Terrible news time for the other Forwards to step up …

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Don’t recall seeing a player sitting on the advertising hoarding for five plus minutes before waiting for a stretcher. Didn’t look great but hopefully it’s a fortnight and, if so, means we avoid a stupid amount of air miles and the usual game or two of resting him after his international escapades (assuming he’d been called up and USA have games - haven’t been arsed to check).

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Terrible news time for the other Forwards to step up …

Yes and hopefully those forwards are Simms and Norman as BTA had looked like a competition winner the past two games.

 

[Otis]

I think gangrene, so amputation.

He's good with both feet though, so he'll be fine and back in a couple of weeks.

 

[rob9872]

Hopefully a knock that will be fine in two weeks but means missing travelling across the world for internationals is off.

I see you, GIMOC

Ligament damage to the ankle can take longer to heal than a broken ankle

It really wasn't a knock. Ankle folded right over

 

[stupot07]

If it's a similar injury to Bidwell and Wilson it will be 6-8 weeks.

I've done something similar at work and was out for months, stretched all the ligaments. Doctor literally said to me it would have been better to have broken my ankle. That was a few years ago and that ankle is still weaker than the other.

This is true done it myself, I don't know if there's an operation can be done to tighten things up afterwards but it took year's to actually stop getting the sensation of discomfort or reoccurring.

Remember Gary Mac doing it in a game and inexplicably was back in the team in the following match, unbelievable really!

Possibly payback for Douglas.

 

[napolimp]

I guess good thing is that we have EMC if playing wingers, and BTA/Bassette/Simms if we play 2 forwards. These guys will hopefully step up with goals. I fancy EMC to start putting some away.

Nasty!

Before we start panicking though I had a lot of that type of injury when I played sport and the human ankle can be surprisingly flexible. Hard to tell from a still but if he has mostly rolled it sideways he might not be too bad. If he has full 180ed it and done ligaments and bone we won't see him til after xmas but I wouldn't rule out him starting against Sheffield United just yet.

Darn. Forced to sit things out until it grows back.

 

[robbiekeane]

knackered my ankle at a power league in slough (glamorous) about 6 years ago and it’s still knackered. Hurt it again a few months back Got an MRI two weeks ago said might need to operate.

Feel like ankles are really she’s to get back to full health again

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Would imagine EMC would be the natural replacement?

Needs to step up with some of the Peterborough form from last season.

Fearing the worst looking at this FFS!

Yeah hopefully it's just soft tissue damage and a bit of swelling. Still very painful but with the right treatment he could be available for Sheffield United, or shortly after. Let's have our fingers crossed it's not ligaments, because then It could be awhile, depending on the severity.

 

[Jamesimus]

Fearing the worst looking at this FFS!

Hope he’s a flexible fella!

Im guesstimating 2 months if it’s ligament damage, based on me doing similar in my 20s minus any kind of physio or aftercare!

 

[ProfessorbyGrace]

Yeah, that doesn’t look good at all, judging from the still image. Hopefully, he’s a quick healer.

Although, it does look like Haji and the Sunderland player are in a breakdance battle.

As others have said, for a significant inversion ankle sprain like this you are talking 4-6 weeks ish.

All still images of ankle sprains look worse than they are tbf, so doesn't necessarily mean its a really bad one. He did also look in a lot of pain but that isn't a great predictor of injury severity.

Stretcher will have been brought on either in case of fracture, which you can't rule out if struggling to weight bear (would obviously mean a longer time out), or just for his comfort and to prevent further damage. The latter is more likely IMO as they wouldn't have let him walk on it at all if fracture was suspected.

 

[PVA]

It was a total fluke as well, went to put his foot down but just caught the Sunderland players boot with the inside of his foot and so rolled his ankle.
