Ashley Westwood - Sold to Burnley

[eastie]

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

Depends who is tweeting it, innit

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

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

You mean he who should not be named dc5,  you naughty  old rascal!

Sounds like Westy might be ok, that'd be great.

[paul_e]

brilliant news, he's very lucky, but we've got to be very happy that he's ok.

@ARWesty04: @Dazbedford1971 it's fine mate cheers pal a lot better than I first thought

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

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 .

Send me your details, I'll give you a no win, no fee promise.

Kill yourself.

Suicidelawyers4u?

I wonder where such an iconic firm of ambulance chasers as Suicidelawyers4u might practice from?   Gas Street is the first place which springs to mind.

Only joking! Just sounded like one of those adverts.

When are they gonna confirm the injury news? Sounds like its not too bad given his twitter update but thought we'd have something official by now

Crap communication as usual from the OS.

Not necessarily.
They could be waiting for the swelling to go down before they do a proper scan to assess the full damage. No point the OS saying "It's not as bad as first feared" only to have to say a day later that he's fucked his ligaments and will be out for the season is it?

[Matt Collins]

Lambert says he might be back for the saints game. Going on recent history that suggests he ought be out for another 6 weeks in practice!

The OS is the worst website I've seen from an entity with the sort of turnover they have. We could easily have an injury update page that continually updates the status of injured players. Even in Plumbutt Cooper's example, such a page could easily tell us just that - that they're waiting for the swelling to settle down before doing an MRI.

To be fair, in a world where little bits of info can make the difference, I'm not sure we want to give our opponents minute-by-minute updates on how our injury problems are doing.  I'd much rather keep them guessing.
