He had a fractured cheek bone so something to do with that I guessOut of curiosity does anyone know what the operation was?
He's the toughest most fragile player in the Premier League, Jones is a close second.He's a tough little so-and-so.
I'd be out for at least two weeks, and demand 24 hour nursing care.
Yea I know. Sorry, I probably should have been more specific. I'm amazed you can have any sort of operation and be back training 3 days later, so I'm just curious what the operation was that means he can be back playing so soon.He had a fractured cheek bone so something to do with that I guess
His bones would need to be re-aligned and if required fixed in places so it can heal. Its surgery on his face likely through his mouth so no reason he can't be back in training in a few days. His face may will be sore thats all.Yea I know. Sorry, I probably should have been more specific.

Blind and Rojo possibly too. Can't wait !!Shaw and Rafa back for Sunday, get it!
We've been saying that for years..Rafael's a good player, if he can get a run going in the side he will be fine.
You may recall that Rafael was one of the club's highest appearance makers during the 2012/13 season, as well as being amongst the team's best performers throughout the campaign. And he actually started in excess of 25 matches last term, however like many others suffered from the tactics and general approach of the side under Moyes management.We've been saying that for years..
Doubt it. Both Shaw and Rafa will probably get back next week. Full weeks training whilst they've had an injury.Shaw and Rafa back for Sunday, get it!
Well just 2 years ago he was brilliant all year. We should get somebody and have him fight for the starting position with Rafael, so either Rafael makes it his own and gets over his injuries or just remains cover and we have somebody else starting.We've been saying that for years..
Don't rule it out. Shaw has been passed fit and Rafael is apparently free to play with a mask. As he's "match fit" and it's nly a facial injury and we are without Valencia and Young I wouldn't rule it out.Doubt it. Both Shaw and Rafa will probably get back next week. Full weeks training whilst they've had an injury.
He could be hit by a truck and still smiling. Great spirit and good to have him back soon indeed.Tweet

Good to hear he is ok and ready to train as soon as Friday.
You probably wouldn't receive the same quality of treatment to begin with.He's a tough little so-and-so.

so batman and robin against Soton? he should wear rugby headguard and some other stuff too in order to keep him out of injuries. Great player we will need him..
Yet before and since then he has been plagued by niggling injuries. with every season that goes past and every injury he picks up, 2012/13 looks more and more like the exception rather than the norm. It's a crying shame though. Not only is he one of our most important players, but he's also one of the most god-damn likeable.You may recall that Rafael was one of the club's highest appearance makers during the 2012/13 season, as well as being amongst the team's best performers throughout the campaign.
