VillaChris Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 6 minutes ago, Peter Griffin said: The worry is that he loses some pace when he does return and just may not be the same player. There must also be a big psychological challenge with returning from this type of injury as it surely prays on the mind that it may happen again Yep and also still settling into a new country with little command of the language (I assume he's still in a hotel). Hopefully the south americans will be seeing him regularly over next few months to keep his spirits up especially when winter hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the same, I sometimes wonder if our physios fully understand the fitness levels of our new signings or if we push them too far too early on. Does this happen to us an abnormal amount compared with everyone else? It is crazy how many Villa players careers have been destroyed, ended or put on hold for months. Seen the list above that is 12 players (including Steer) since we have been back in the Premier League...3 years! Not a conspiracy theorist but there is something that is not right here, is it down to conditioning of our players?, or just simply that we continually buy players made of glass when they put a Villa shirt on?

These things are really important for his overall recovery and getting back into our team. I wonder will be be off home to recover or will he stay in Brum. It would not be fun if he was stuck in a hotel room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
His Name Is Death Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) 14 minutes ago, Peter Griffin said: Everton are having a really rough time with injuries too and the season Virgil was injured, Liverpool had a very difficult time with injuries. I think all club's fans think their club is unlucky Yes, but there are degrees to it. If Liverpool fans think they're unlucky (remember, this was a 'very difficult time' where they still finished 3rd, following on from a league championship the previous season and preceding an EFL cup, FA cup and CL final the following), then they're morons. On the other hand, Everton fans probably have a legitimate reason to feel their success has been frustrated by extenuating factors (and factors within the club's control).

Rino8 Posted August 15, 2022 Visiting Supporter Share Posted August 15, 2022 13 minutes ago, Peter Griffin said: He didn't take 11 months. He was out injured for just 278 days which is just about 9 months, depending upon how many days in the month. That that is one single example. My comment uses the word 'mean' in the timings and is actually backed up with verified data Nah, nobody has ever recovered from a ruptured achilles in 5 months. An NFL player did last season through pretty groundbreaking treatment, and I'm fairly sure he's the first ever. Took Koscielny 10 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philosopher Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Hopefully it isn’t a severe rupture. That's a year out regardless though. I was very impressed with guy, I thought he would be a great signing. Now he has to fight hard just to be the same player his was. It's going to be winter 2024 till he is back to his best. Devastating! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He started the first game of the next season and indeed played a couple of pre season friendlies so that was as quick a recovery as you can get.

MaVilla Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) so reading about a ruptured Achilles tendon, seems like 9 months out, so basically his season is done, even if he is back in 6-9 months, will take a while to get back to match fitness. I also found it interesting that apparently 1 in 3 of the people who recover from this type of injury, will not be able to play sport to the same level they did before, lets hope is is the 2/3 who can.

Zhan_Zhuang Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 A real shame and was looking forward to seeing how he progressed this season. With a bit of luck he could be back for our title run-in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
