Why?

 

[Ring master]

They have to sit out a mandatory time frame for a head injury anyway dont they,even if he would have been ok,thought it use to be 3 weeks anyway

I fractured my skull, a bit more than a "hairline" tho. Shame for him, thought he was starting to pick himself up in some ways under Silva.

And, if he fractured his skull, he has a concussion. Theres almost no way that he doesn't. And concussions are nasty. In the NHL players are out for seasonS(note the plural) with them. And, just like hamstring issues, once you get them you are more susceptible to getting them again.

Means he will be out for a few weeks I think unless he wears a head band like that goalie.

Depends on a lot of things - would have thought it would be quite a lot longer than that though sadly.

 

[duncs pigeon]

Gutted for the lad. Hasnt done much wrong these first three games. Must have been full off confidence.

Hope so but is not Mina out for another two weeks? and to might moyes all about cover.

 

[riddick]

Brings it back round to the discussion there. There really needs to be better protocol for head injuries in football. THANKFULLY Silva was a tit and never thought to make substitutions yesterday so we still could bring on Zouma. I think there should be some sort of sub that doesn't count when a player gets a head injury and is carried off the pitch like that.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Horrible injury that. Really nasty.

But glad it's not too serious because it could have been far worse. Hope he gets the time to rest and that in a months time he's well recovered and there are no lasting issues.

After Rotherham and Huddersfield there is an international break mate so I think he'll be ready from then on tbh

Now, if Zouma or Holgate pick up a knock on Wednesday then we might see Jags getting called upon again!

 

[BlueToff]

Good news.

He has played well in the opening few games. Still concerns over his game but he is working to improve.

Now Holgate and Zouma have the chance to impress.

I think like you once you’ve suffered a tbi you have something of a better understand of possible implications. As I said above it doesn’t mean Keane will particularly suffer any of them and you’d want to know if he’s had previous injuries or concussions but it’s not unusual in some cases for it to have a psychological effect , especially given the nature of his position on the field .

The main things are he seems positive in the tweet , he’ll have had and will continue to have top quality medical care and I’m sure be given the requisite time and support he needs . Let’s hope it heals as quickly as such injuries can and has as little impact as they also can have and all being well he’s back in full training as quickly as Joyce suggests .

Hairline skull fracture, not a nice thing to have but also not a particularly long recovery time
