VillaChris Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 10 hours ago, Sulberto21 said: He jamp over the first one but I think he didn't expect the second one to be on him so quickly. I thought he had the beating of their left back. I really hope I'm wrong about the broken rib. Someone mentioned that it looks like he might have damaged a kidney or his liver. Hopefully it's just some bruising. Yeah I thought he started the game well also. You never quite know what you'll get with Traore game to game but I fancy we'd have stretched them far more over the 90 minutes with him drifting inside and giving space for Targett to run into so wasn't a welcome sub. Trez and AEG just run in straight lines all the time apart from El Ghazi shifting inside to shoot but pretty much every time he did that the shot just got blocked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having him coming on after 60 minutes will be useful. Hope he’s ok. Next season I'd just give him all the minutes Barkley has had this season in the position he's played. Front 3 of him, Jack and new RW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdman Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 When he injured himself I couldn't believe it... looked overly dramatic and totally avoidable to my eye. Bizarre. Anyway hope hes OK and back soon! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's much easier to avoid it when you pack extra. But I still think it's weird if that minor collision made him break his ribs. Didn't seem to bad to me when it happened.

It wasn’t minor in my opinion. Watching it in real time I really **** felt that. He hit quite a tapered point as well. Wouldn’t be surprised at all if he broke something 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam-AVFC Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I like how his relationship with Cash is developing. I've been a bit frustrated with the level of understanding between him and Elmo in the last couple of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmo does none of that even in his prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a hell of a physically demanding role nowadays. He's doing well defensively, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlack Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 He hit a sharp edge of a ridged piece of wood, at a moderate running pace. It would not have been surprising at all if he had broken a rib/done some soft tissue damage given the situation. The whole force of his body focused entirely on that millimeter point of the boarding, when you have very little body fat for insulation is going to be a serious cause for concern. Thankfully, his latest insta post suggests irs not too serious, and if it is just severe bruising he should be back in a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
