How serious is a fibula break (if that indeed is the diagnosis) in terms of making a full and speedy recovery?
Here is the incident
http://watchhighlightsonline.blogspo...underland.html
He's definitely out for the rest of the season at the very least. The poor guy, finally Trap picked him in a competitive fixture and then he goes and breaks his leg a wet week later.
It's our LB jinx striking again,
Jim Beglin, Cunningham, O'Halloran and Stephen Ward live.
He tweeted this a few hours ago

Ah no if he has only done fibula cleanly then 4 months would be the worst case scenario and more likely 3.its when u do the tibia /fibula compo you r in real bother.best of luck to himQuote:

Looked pretty nasty to me, I was wincing watching it, I did mine a few year back in a similar fashion, basically got my foot trapped
and went over on it with my own weight. I imagine it will have mangled up his ankle ligaments somewhat.
Foot has never been 100% since that, bit like I have 2 left feet, but that's not a big problem for a defender.
It's not the main load bearing bone though, more for balance. They took my cast off after 5-6 weeks but I was still
walking around like a cripple for a good while., It is still a bit discoloured now.
Absolutely gutted for him and for us. Terribly unlucky. Get well soon.
looks inoculous enough on the video above, devastating for the lad though. Its a cruel world sometimes is football.
I dunno, from one angle you can see his he seems to over on his ankle every awkwardly, I don't think it's the contact
I think the bone breaks under his own weight because of the huge stresses put on it. Those same forces will have gone through his foot and
ankle ligaments and will not do either any good.
One a side note he was out top rated available player on one stat site, but Trap does not usually play them even if they are
available
From our perspective, if it is to happen, it has happened at a decent time. Its almost five months until our next competitive game. If the guy could be back training in February then he could well be in contention for Sweden away. Have no clue about what the anticipated recovery time is but wish him well.
i just hope cunningham gets his chance now.
What about Aidan White of Leeds? Better player than Cunningham?
Cunningham was starting ahead of White in the recent U21 campaign, I think he also captained the side.Quote:

Cunningham is still recovering from injury, isn't he? He'd hardly be around for the Greece game.
The ball is back to Ward and apart from ability to stroke the ball, he's no more a defensive danger than Wilson.
Judging by how the Faroes turned Wilson to jelly, with him giving away silly free kicks and not defending for their goal.
It has to be worth taking a look at White. Even just for half an hour.
Yes but there was the hope that Wilson would improve game on game, and that the Faroes experience would stand to him. I feel Ward was getting progressively worse.Quote:

Wilkinson is a good solid player and tough out. Wouldn't have as much football as Wilson though.

and (in reply to @larrythelurker who wanted to know how long he'll be out) https://twitter.com/wildog87/status/263979308761112576Quote:
Just out of surgery. Thank god that's over. The whole medical team where different class and done a great job.
So, that's more or less the end of JanuaryQuote:
8 to 12 weeks
That's great news.
Good call Liamoo.Quote:

Geysir V Tony Pulis :D
"I think he has probably been our most consistent player this year - he is a very underrated lad and we will miss him because he has great quality."

Bring back Stephen Ward :D
Surgery would seem to indicated it's a bit more than a simple break, ie having to reconstruct the boneQuote:

I'd be surprise if he is back in 8 weeks but I expect if you are really fit things tend to heal up faster, and
obviously they will be getting the very best treatment and physio etc
Ideally it would be great to see him back in the Stoke team with a few games under his belt before Sweden & Austria.
Perhaps he got a metal fixture in there? Doubtful more likely that the bone wouldn't reset properly as it was so need to be moved back into place.Quote:

Somehow it managed to grow a big lump of over it, pull it back together and reshape the bone so you would never
know it was broken. And all without any conscious effort or input on my part. (which is just as well).
Is a plate the better option for an athlete? I'd have thought the ideal in terms of mobility etc would be for the bone to heal fully.
back on the bench today for Stoke away to Man City, at least three weeks ahead of schedule
Great news!!Quote:

sorry, my mistake. Sky Sports had him on the bench on the scorecentre before kick off.
Thats an amazing recovery. Hopefully no setbacks for him.
So he's not back from injury yet??
Doesn't appear to be. Can't find any report saying he's ready for first team action just yet.
His Twitter account suggests he has been back in training since the 3rd of December (possibly earlier): https://twitter.com/wildog87
