2025/26 Jarrad Branthwaite

At least he got a nice new 5 year contract on massively inflated wages before he broke himself for good.

Clearly I understand this isn't it his fault at all, but it's typical of our luck.
I think this is more about the lad's career possibly being under threat than it is about our luck. My heart goes out to him. Regardless of how minted he is, having a lifetime dream career suddenly put in doubt at 23 years old will be utterly devastating, especially after working his way up to become one of the best CB's in the Premier League.
 
He was probably devastated about the repeat injury in a worldcup season. Was possibly counting on us doing well in the last few games. If yes, that is a very nice mentality to have, in my opinion.
 
Few reports that he had reached for his hamstring a few times before the tear

If true it’s a harsh lesson for him, Moyes and the medical staff

There should be no emotion or opinions when it comes to hamstrings, there’s no strapping it up or toughing it out. It’s not about heart or desire or commitment or playing through the pain with this injury

Short of being chased down the street with a knife by someone and your body pushing out pure adrenaline to get you to safety, there’s no way of pushing through a torn hamstring. You can’t terry butcher it. You’d have a better chance of carrying on with a broken foot

Same happened with kdh at chelsea in December

Absolute negligence if true
 
God there are some knee jerk people in here. We don’t even know the results of his scan yet, and due to his age, any talk about career ending talk is just nonsense. People can come back from serious injuries, it might just take a longer period of time.

It's not kneejerk, he has literally pulled his hamstring that he had surgery on, what reaction are you expecting lmao.
 
Another sicknote on the books, no big miss as we were around 6/7th til he came back. Will never fulfill the potential he had, and everyone can see now why no big teams or England are interested in him.
if he was on the pitch until the final whistle we dont lose that game yesterday, as he was marking VD at corners and he never got a sniff out of Branthwaite.
