Yeah his season is over I think. He'll miss the Euro's as well, Hodgson actually has good options in the LB position so he'll start planning for that now.

As well it should be - it would be pointless risking him in the final month or two of the year. And England is obviously low priority when it comes to his long term fitness and readiness for 2016.

Agree. Unless he genuinely needs to get some minutes on the pitch here and there at the end of the season to clock hours, I think we should be cautious and take advantage of the fact that he is young and doesn't need to rush into anything.
 
If he is medically cleared to play before the end of the season he should. He would want to and it would give him a big boost before the summer.

This.

If he were to play in the Euros then he would have to be back to full fitness and playing for us around February, March at the very latest I think.

No, save him for far more important tasks.
 
England already have a few LBs, while not as good as Shaw they are decent options. He'll only go if he's back playing and looking fit for the final couple months of the season, which I doubt will happen.
 
I can see him returning to training in March if no further complications. If he does, he should make the Euros.

Not sure how we can stop him going if he is fit either as he will want to go.
 
Really missed him today... if you just saw the space Mane got to whip the cross in esp. for the first one it was alarming. Can only hope Rojo settles in quickly and starts covering up. Because everytime Southampton breaked, they looked to exploit our left flank and successfully got in dangerous balls plenty of times.

Get well soon Luke. Hope to see him tearing up the field again next season
 
Christ he looks ripped.

Also, what was the actual damage then? Just a clean break or more?
 
That's a pleasant surprise. Mate of mine broke both his fibula and tibia, as well, and was not supposed to bear any weight on that leg for about 2 or 3 months.
 
Look How swollen / red his foot is, is that normal? Guess it's because it's been elevated a lot maybe.

Great to see he's already putting weight on it though, he must be a very quick healer.

The bones would have been repaired by plates, so I'd imagine a cast won't necessarily be needed since the bones won't be at risk of moving away from each other, he will just need to be careful with the weight baring and then within a few months when the bones have fused, the plate will most likely be removed :)
 
The redness and swellings are part of the inflammatory process due to the injury and is normal after an injury. An elevated limb would push the blood to upper parts of the body.
 
Is it standard to be using crutches so soon after a leg break of this nature?

I'd imagine once the swelling has gone mostly down it would be fine. I've fractured my ankle twice and not having it levitated is the problem because it swells up and starts throbbing, doubt it has any effect on the healing of the bone though.

I'd be more worried that he's putting pressure on it already but who are we to talk when he surely has the best medical advise in the world.
 
Well one thing we have to make sure is that he doesn't rush things. Maybe this is more a mental healing so the doctors want to show him that what happened to him is not so bad and that is healing quite quick. But you can't rush the healing of the bone, can you?

What they can do is to stimulate his muscles so he will not have so hard job to recover his strength and fitness but LVG already said in one of the press conferences that they are already doing that.

It's not even in a cast?

I assume they've put a metal plate in his leg to hold it together so need for a cast. At least that's what they did with my arm. I imagine he would have to wear a protective boot whilst out and about though because if he knocked his leg on something it would hurt like hell.
 
We've looked far worse without him. If he hadn't been injured then Young wouldn't be playing left back and might very well be replacing Memphis in the team. The Arsenal game could have been totally different.
 
Brilliant that he is already back around the team and stuff. His absence was noticeable against Arsenal. A few occasions Young got turned on the wing and was unable to recover, you just know that Shaw would have made us so much more solid.

Missing your left back should not hinder the whole team

But it does. Shaw was arguably our best player at the start of the season. Plus the balance we had in the team with him and Darmian on the flanks was brilliant. We've lost that and we're struggling to find a replacement / substitute.

Understand what you're saying, but losing one player can affect how a team plays (eg. Kompany for city, Terry for Chelsea etc)
