Leighton Baines has Ankle problem

[Del]

But we won 5-1 lads so we cant question anything Moyes does

 

[Michael Bazel Betschart]

Oh crap.

I can't change the fact that he played because what's the point now, but I really really hope he's better for our next game.

Losing him means Distin at LB again. Thank god Coleman is back because I don't think I could have stood watching this:

Distin - Jagielka - Heitinga - Neville

or this:

Distin - Duffy - Heitinga - Jagielka

*shudders*

Don't forget, Heitinga is injuried too (if it's true), or he will be gone until then.

love moyes but he's a ****ing tosspot at times, would rodgers risk suarez if he's got an issue with his fitness or Fergie with RVP, Boas with Bale etc. HELLO MOYES LEAGUE GAMES ARE MORE IMPORTANT IF YOU WANT TOP 4!!!

 

[BlueWeasel]

Moyles is trying to injure him so no-one will buy him, lads. He knows what he's doing.

 

[Allezfan]

Bet he plays against the swans, anyhow.

Baines is hard as fecking nails, lads.

 

[milks]

I don't think it's too bad, Baines's legs looked pretty beaten up when they focused the camera on him.
But I doubt it will stop him from playing this weekend.

My legs look like that after every game I play. If you put tackles in, or get tackled, you're going to get scrapes and cuts on your shins - there's not much protection beneath the skin.

Really is nothing to worry about.

Everyone calm the [Poor language removed] down.

 

[Pabbers]

Oviedo is an actual left back.....maybe play him ???!!!

 

[blueblue]

Lots of players in various sports have ice baths after training or matches,it helps their recovery it doesn't mean they are injured.
I would have been much more worried if he had an ice pack on one ankle only as that might indicate an injury.Baines certainly was running freely during the game,was kicking the ball cleanly and well and as he was being taken off he was berating somebody who had put a pass to far ahead of Baines and into touch.He didn't look like a player carrying a significant injury.I would imagine that at any one time half the team will have a number of low grade injuries which need managing but rarely mean a player missing a game.During the game there was one tackle from McGlashan which certainly merited a yellow card and I think would have caused Baines a serious problem if he was carrying an injury.

 

[Vaughan]

stupid decision to play him imo

yes we got beat by leeds but resting baines wouldn't have stopped us winning last night

 

[DAVIDMOYES]

Hes had this ankle problem for near a year now.

 

[steken1]

Hes had this ankle problem for near a year now.

Could it turn into something serious?

 

[HibboScoresWeRiot]

I'd say just sell him and get Bidwell/Garbutt on FFS!

 

[FTY]

Hes had this ankle problem for near a year now.

OH MY GOD YOUR BACK! *jizzes*
