It was only a couple of days ago he was being touted as the brightest talent in Irish football, now this news, really hope the lad makes a full recovery as I think he could be a star of the future.
 
Yeah get well soon lad. Was reading a comment from one of the doctors or medics that said they could go another 100 years without seeing an injury like this caused the way it was.

Just wondering who at Everton pissed off a gypsy.
 
Sounds horrific. I thought Gary Cahill's situation was serious enough, but Duffy's sound even worse. Hopefully he will be okay in the long run.
 

we've done well with freak injuries to our youth players.

Sean Duffy - almost died

Colemans's Blister - almost lost his foot

James Vaughan - anyone remember that tackle that severed an artery.

All of the out of the ordinary. Although nothing beats Richard Wright for injuries. Kicking a warning sign and falling out of his attic.
 
Good luck shane.

Shows that Baz leaving wouldn't make a difference,these injuries are down to our luck which is [Poor language removed].
 
Apparently he required 20 pints of blood transfusion units....

and if the injury was to someone older or overweight it was unlikely he'd of survived.

Brian Duffy, Shane's dad was warned that his son could die in the operating theatre..........


He's been a very lucky boy. Basically he's suffered a serious car crash injury..... playing football......

Injured Shane Duffy thought he 'was going to die'

Republic of Ireland centre-back Shane Duffy has admitted he thought he was going to die after suffering a freak training ground injury on Friday.

The 18-year-old Everton player, who had life-saving surgery after lacerating his liver, lost 3.6 litres of blood, around two-thirds of his supply.
However, he has made good progress and moved out of intensive care on Sunday.
"Shane was very frightened. He thought he as going to die," said the Republic's team doctor Alan Byrne.
"There was 3.6 litres of blood in his abdomen that had leaked from an artery, and he had received over 20 units of blood.
"You are pouring it in one way and it is leaking out the other way.
"All you can do at that stage is put as much fluid in as you can because you are trying to keep the circulation going to the brain and to the heart."
Dr Byrne said he knew within seconds of attending Duffy, who had collided with Irish amateur team goalkeeper Adrian Walsh, that he was dealing with a serious injury.

"I wasn't quite sure of the nature of it. He was in so much pain and I needed to know where that pain was.
"After a while, he was able to say it was near his lower breastbone, so what you think is the worst case scenario - the sac that covers your heart is behind there and you can bleed into that from a trauma, collapse your lungs, break your sternum."
However, Duffy has made rapid progress since Friday.
"The news has been good, a lot has changed in 36 hours," said Dr Byrne.
"On Friday night, we weren't talking about football, we were talking about would this young boy survive, would he live?"
Everton chairman Bill Kenwright and manager David Moyes have been in close contact, and dispatched their own medical staff to Dublin on Saturday
Republic assistant boss Marco Tardelli said: "We are very happy now we know his condition. It was very emotional when I met his father because I have a son the same age as Shane."

It'll be at least after September. He's effectively had injuries you'd typically have in a serious road crash and given his age, they'll go slowly with him.
