2019/20 Andre Gomes

[havrey0123]

I' m just sat with a physiotherapist now and he gave me a rather long winded explanation. But he believes by pre-season he will be back, maybe sooner.

This.
He will be eased back in when the season starts as a sub. Will be fully fit by the start of 2021

Gomes was considered to be a mentally weak person who couldnt handle the press and supporter critcism of his performances at Barcelona and let his game go to pot, medical advances over last 30 years wont help his mental recovery

The thing with your S's is doing me head in John.

Only 3-4 months out apparently

???? who said this

Great news, get him back in the squad for next week

Still be a better option than Schneiderlin.

I'd be amazed and absolutely delighted for the lad if that was true.

As far as I'm concerned if he can get back and ready for pre season next year that'll do me.

And me.

Some might say medicine has moved on a bit in the last 30 years...

No real comparison here. With Paul Bracewell, they couldn’t work out what was wrong with him for ages. I think they probably know what’s happened to André.

Anyone got a clue about this stuff?

No ligament damage? If so that's a minor miracle.

Also having dislocated it, is it likely to be dislocated easier and often?

Surely no way his ankle could dislocate / fracture and avoid any ligament damage. Just got to hope any damage done to them were minor.

Get well soon, Andre.

Not a clue me, but the statement from the club was remarkably upbeat. Normally its "op has gone well" but they made a point of saying it was actually pretty ace.

If its "only" a dislocation, and minimal ligament damage, then lets see.

That's what I was thinking. If it's bent as far as to dislocate then ligaments are surely damaged.

Yeah it was pretty positive. Surely a right off this season but a fully fit Gomes for next.

Got to hope Gbamin is decent when he gets fit really.

No, shouldn't be more likely to be dislocated again. Obviously without seeing any sort of medical report I would take an educated guess it would be held with screws and plates.
Plates are usually left in as a general rule rather than pins which are usually removed. But it all depends on the individual's injury so its all guesswork without more information.
I've known cases where screws interfere with joints and end up having to be removed. There's no report on any substantial ligament damage which is a good thing obviously but will need to be assessed more fully as soon as it is possible to get a clearer picture.

So I doubt he is more likely to suffer a dislocation because of it, I wouldn't like to guess any more than that though without more information.

I'm in medical devices, and my last job was with a company in the foot and ankle sector of orthopaedics, advising surgeons on product usage etc.

It's pretty much impossible to get either a dislocation or dislocation/fracture without damaging the ligaments.

Only real exception (at least to the first of those) is in people with connective tissue disorders (such as Ehlers Danlos, among others) - which Gomes won't have.

The sheer distance the ankle has to move to dislocate and then fracture (usually the tibia that goes) means that you'd have some level of tearing in the ligaments - more often than not a full rupture.

Not sure where the 3-4 month shouts are coming from but IF accurate (and I'd be skeptical at this point) he's been ASTONISHINGLY lucky.

Seen this floating on Twitter, where's it come from exactly? Surely not.
