Jores Okore

[Louzie0]

I have it on good authority that problem is due to overeating of streaky Danish bacon and drinking Carlsberg. This combination results in probably the most vulnerable  knees  in the world!

'Well dodgy' is the clinical diagnosis, and you should know, Olaf.
Respect.

What rubbish news.

Some bloke sitting near me was giving Okore loads of abuse when he went down - "Oh, get up you wuss" etc, etc.  I hope he feels suitably ashamed now.

In Sweden we have corrected the problem of course by not drinking Carlsberg. Kopperberg is so much better along with a tin of surströmming for knee conditioning!

Always the treatment of choice in Castle Brom as well. Just hope young Okore isn't too far from The Green.

Really bad news and terrible timing seeing as we can't bring any more players in on permanent and loan deals until January.  Back four looking a bit weak again now and I would be looking at CBs who are currently out of contract and could be offered a contract until the end of the season.

Stepping barefoot on Lego doesn't help either.

[Malandro]

gutted, really looking forward to seeing him this year. Bloody bad luck. Part of me thought he was rushed into the team after his pre-season, although its unfair to blame that injury on Lambert.

[Villafirst]

Gallas would be ok on a temporary basis, particularly with the other CB's injury records Definitely need 'experienced' cover.

[Smirker]

I think we should do what it takes to get Gallas in, I'd feel much more confident with him in the side.

[Rigadon]

The only luck we have is bad.

Feel really sorry for the lad, and for the club.

Are Denmark likely to qualify for the world cup finals ?
If so, I guess this will bollock up any chances of him going there as well?

Here's wishing Jores a speedy recovery.

Echo those thoughts. At best he would get back in about 6/7 months, but more likely he'll be fit by mid-June 14.

Really, I'm gutted for the person as much as the player. He seems such a pleasant young man and a very promising talent. He will be devastated by this. I wish him nothing but the best on his recovery. We'll need to get by without him and as galling is might appear every other player will need to step up and be counted.

Well said Toronto. Good luck with the recovery Jores.

One thing that just occurred to me, didn't he try and 'run it off' on Saturday?  Not looking for a stick to beat the club with here, but couldn't that have made things worse?

In the words of the old blues song: if it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have no luck at all.
From a selfish point of view, it's devastating for the team and starts sowing the seeds of doubt that we may not have such a good season as much of the media is predicting. From a human point of view - it's equally devastating for a 21-year-old young man, making his impressive way in the game, to go to a new country, a new culture, a new club, and then to be struck down like this. I know footballers are pampered and overpaid, but this is a cruel blow and must also be a long-term worry for him as well. I wish him all the best for a speedy return.
