Martinez Injury | Out for the season with metatarsal fracture

[thegregster]

Excellent news that its not his Achilles.

Its looks like a metatarsal which would unfortunately keep him out for the rest of the season. Still that infinitely better than missing a few months next season.

 

[BarstoolProphet]

He is half the player he was.

Sad to hear, he was some player before. He was running at full pelt when he did his Achilles, it looked really horrible.

YESSSSSSSS

Thank feck for that. I'm in a slightly less shitty mood now.

 

[Superunknown]

I seriously hope that he's able to recover from whatever this is quickly. Hands down, my favourite player this season. Absolutely love him and what he brings to the side.

 

[bosnian_red]

So probably some ankle ligament then. Might need surgery anyway. But whatever it is, as long as not Achilles, he should be fine for start of next season. Let's hope.

Career back on!!!

 

[Berbaclass]

I think he rolled his ankle ligament personally

Season is back on!!!

Somebody check on @Blood Mage - he seemed to be taking it badly!

 

[TheReligion]

THANK FECK!!!!!!!!!

Now I can go to bed peacefully

Snap (not his tendon but I’m the same)

 

[laughtersassassin]

Good news but even still if he is out our season is in a dire situation all of a sudden

Genuinely think I might cry tears of joy for the first time in about 10 years

 

[Name Changed]

The achilles is an awful injury. Anything is better than that. He will surely be out for the season regardless.

 

[LordSpud]

@crossy1686 career back on??

 

[crossy1686]

Holy shit! What a fecking save that is

 

[sillwuka]

Absolutely gutted for him.

 

[mu4c_20le]

Has to be, there was no one else near him

 

[next_number_seven]

I think he rolled his ankle ligament personally

That's what I thought also. Looks like he twisted it

 

[crossy1686]

@crossy1686 career back on??

We're good mate, we're all fecking good again, he'll be right as rain as long as it's not that

Thank. Feck.

The reaction felt like he is still out for the season, but hopefully this means recovery in time for 23/24 start

 

[Rustyspider13]

Thank God. Can relax now. Get well soon Licha!

He's probably still out for the season but at least we should have him back fit and firing for next season. That's honestly great news after fearing a potential Achilles injury.

Weird to say when it's about injury, but what a relief.

Hopefully this is a lesson for everyone to not presume the worst and wait for diagnosis, or a lesson certainly to not turn into medical experts.

Who am I kidding? The caf is probably speculating that Varane needs his leg amputated in his thread

 

[spiriticon]

Best news of the evening. Thank god.

 

[UnRational]

I’ll wait for Nurse’s tweet before I believe anything

 

[Erics_Collar]

We shouldn't rule out that ETH is just shit at the human anatomy and thinks the achilles is the arse cheek muscle.

 

[crossy1686]

Thank. Feck.

We can live without him for the rest of the season but we need him to come back the player he is now, that's the most important thing. Thankfully there's a great chance he will now

 

[brian017]

Holy shit! What a fecking save that is

Turn it off now. You don’t want to see what happens next

 

[Rightnr]

I think he rolled his ankle ligament personally

Any guesses on timescale

 

[crossy1686]

Achilles then.

I don’t think anyone was diagnosing it (well maybe a few) but as fans we’re always going to be terrified of a worst case scenario.

Surely you mean Doctor's tweet?

 

[crossy1686]

Turn it off now. You don’t want to see what happens next

I'm going to bed before they find out it is his achilles after all

 

[Rams]

If I’m guessing then it’s a calf whiplash. Having experienced many an ankle, torn Achilles and calf whiplash from nearby, it looks like whiplash. That’s season ending in April.

 

[Unam333]

Thank God, good news. I can now go to bed. I stayed up anxiously waiting for some sort of update about the severeness and type of the injury. Thank you again God.

 

[James35]

I’ll wait for Nurse’s tweet before I believe anything

he’ll be back playing before then.

 

[LordSpud]

Martinez to Arsenal then

 

[djembatheking]

We have got a lot of players in the red zone, as LVG used to say, with a lot of high stakes games to play. Fingers crossed we pull through.
