2018/19 Michael Keane

[dholliday]

anyone concerned about where Ganas head may be for doing that to a teammate? Sure he feels bad today but will it be tough for him to get over mentally?

He'll be fine now knowing Keane's not in a serious state. Bet he didn't sleep well, tho'...all good now thankfully.

No because it was when Keen head the way it hit the hard pitch just a very awful way to get injured in that way.

Head injury though. That's a bit different to a leg injury.

..it is, Dave.

 

[Toast]

How hard must Gana's head be.

Glad it only a short term injury, just hope there are no mental blocks from it in future.

How do you manage to head the smallest lad in the squad though ?

Hairline skull fracture - 6 weeks out ? can't be rushed back surely

 

[brieverton]

Hopefully he will be just fine.

Time is a great healer and I would doubt he'll suffer any long term issues, he will be given plenty of opportunities to engage full head contact before he plays in the first team again. He will remember it, but it shouldn't affect him with the proper guidance and care.

..... Just read the news, it could have been an awful lot worse. Get well soon lad.

Shame , as he had been doing better this season.
Hope the lad gets better as soon as he can.

He really has been significantly better than last season. By no means perfect but a marked improvement.

Hope he picks up and keeps improving

The incident was not so much the clash with Gana but the way he landed on a bone hard dry pitch- many players yesterday play was held up for falling after a jump in a challenge on that pitch - the modern sprinklers are just a spray the water will not go down to soften it enough... Best Game Keen has had for us too hope he recovers well!

Sky sports panel yesterday we laughing like mad when a ref in the Scottish League Elgin City called the game off late when the referee inspected a corner of the pitch that he seemed far too hard to play on as with no rain gravel had risen to the surface- they were in bulk laughing.... accidents happen, but surely they could have watered that pitch better?......

No, quite certain it was the clash of heads that did it; even though the fall was hard, his (limp) body broke the fall and so it was less fierce to his head than if he had hit directly

Got it wrong. How did the smallest lad in the squad manage to jump so high!

Yes and the end of football for him. Get well soon is my message to him.

Think this injury will finish him at the top level tbh. Lad is already fragile mentally and I can see his confidence being shot when going in for a header.

Players like Coleman come back from traumatic injuries alot easier than those like Keane.

He will come back pretty quickly. The rate he has improved this season makes me think he will be a regular by the end of the season and playing well. Reminds me a little of Martin Keown's dodgy start for us.
