Ashley Westwood - Sold to Burnley

[N'ZMAV]

Is he badly injured then?

[eastie]

Looks like a bad ankle injury , hopefully weeks rather than months but we may know more today.

[N'ZMAV]

FFS.

[PaulWinch again]

I'd really like some good news and find out it's not as bad as we fear.

[paul_e]

I'm still not convinced that Michu didn't know what he was doing.  At best it was a very clumsy challenge from behind that deserved some form of punishment, that the feckers didn't even give us the ball back or allow time for us to get a sub on shows them up pretty badly.

I really hope it's not as bad as it looked at the time but I really wouldn't be suprised to hear it's some ligament damage and we won't see him again for 3-4 months.  I said at the time it looked a nasty one and watching it again I think I down played it.

Rumour on Twitter was that it's 3 months. Then again twitter rumours are hardly a valid source of information.

[Matt Collins]

I think they were assessing it today. I don't know where the 3 month stuff came from. That'd be a pisser to say the least! Hopefully just a few weeks

Depends who is tweeting it, innit

Well I've just been in contact with Rebecca his missus, and as yet there is no estimated time limit - should know more today after its been assessed.

If it's the injury I think it is from what happened then 3 months seems about right, wasn't enough to snap the ligaments in his ankle (which would be around a year out) but was enough to do a fair bit of damage to them.  from the video it looks like his knee was almost on the ground whilst his foot was still planted, if it's less than 3 months he's a very lucky boy.

I suffered a nasty accident in a fall  at work 10 weeks ago which caused knee ligament damage and am still having physio - expecting to return next week , so I think if it is bad ligament damage then 3 months will be about right .

Yeah I've done a few similar things playing rugby and 3 months for full recovery is about right, I've had 1 much worse where I snapped my medial ligament which meant no sport for nearly 18months, he hasn't done anything that bad though or he'd have been on a stretcher and have gone straight to the hospital.

I'll let you know when it has been confirmed by you know who, Eastie.
