Hamstring scan for mirallas

BBleck · September 30, 2014

Further exploration? Is that code for waiting until swelling goes away and scanning again? Hopefully nothing needs reattaching.

Thigh is better to be injuryed than hamstring, you can't tear a thigh, but can tear a hamstring

Plus he's had problems with hamstrings (although I don't know what leg) so it's good he hasn't redone it.

Eh? You can tear your quadriceps.

Plus the hamstring is in the thigh anyway so could still be that.

Your hamstring is part of your thigh ffs. The two main muscle groups there are the quadriceps and the hamstrings and from the way he pulled up mid sprint it was a hamstring pull or tear.

BOSS ON MIRALLAS: "We had a few scans and we are going to carry on today. It isn't a straightforward diagnosis but the signs are not great."

The leaks coming from the club are ominous. It's a bad one this.

Sounds like it could be a grade 3 tear, if so, we won't see him while Jan

not sounding good is it? Gutted about this. We dont have much luck with injuries do we. I wonder if we will ever play our first 11 again

Sounds terrible. But then Ross's did too and he's recovering well. Fingers crossed he's back for Christmas.

What I don't get is how many professional footballers get hamstring injuries. I can understand when they pull up so early in the game cause obviously they haven't warmed up properly. But Kev's was a good time in. Surely they can build them up more in training!?

Of course. But as with any injury it comes from excessive strains and forces being placed on the body. That's why you see hamstrings often ping while sprinting as they are experiencing such powerful loads and forces. Injuries can happen at any time really, no matter how much work you put in to injury prevention, you can't cut them out completely. All you can do is strengthen and restrengthen the muscles in order to reduce recurrence of injuries and hopefully prevent the cascade to injury proneness and overall loss of function.

It happens in American football too. Sometimes when you push the body to certain limits, parts break down no matter what the preparation. It is likely a mixture of bad luck and genetics for poor Kev.
