Drums innit?

Married to the prettiest Kardashian sister. God she’s gorgeous.

Joins Triston Rowe then. Was it ever confirmed that Annecy were joining V Sports?

[eye digress]

Yes, reported in L'Equipe a few weeks ago.

Thanks, I assumed iot had completed but I'd never spotted that. They seem like a decent fit for us to send some of the promising youngsters, we're building a decent network of clubs to loan out to now.

Barrenechea back in for Benfica. Think he’s been out for a couple of games. They’re winning 2-0 away by the way, still in the first half.

He’s played over 30 games for them now.

Kadan Young starts for Reading v Wycombe. Winning 2-0 at half-time.

Cheers.

That game is on Sky Sports. I have been watching Burton v Wet Spam Reserves, which is frankly execrable.

[Percy McCarthy]

Dobbin scores for Amfy’s boys. 1-0.

[cdbearsfan]

And Broggio for Falkirk, again.

[adrenachrome]

Nicely slotted home:

They won 1-2. I think it was his first game back after suffering a a traumatic subluxation in the right shoulder - that's a dislocated shoulder to you and me. From the match report I read he was only recalled because Aursnes, the Norwegian international got injured in training a couple of days before the match and Enzo is still not fully recovered. As I'm sure Dr Paul_e will detail, unless you allow this type of shoulder injury to fully heal it's likely to reappear.

Despite being missing since the beginning of the year, he's still played more minutes in the league than any other midfielder and started 29 of 31 games for them before the injury. Mourinho obviously loves him.

Subluxation is also the name of African Car Reverser's B-Sides collection. The vinyl edition goes for a fortune on Discogs.

Shoulders are all about the rotator cuff. The dislocation itself isn't really a big deal but you have to do a lot of physio to re-strengthen the ligaments because if there's any imbalance in there it sets you up to have on-going problems. Not something you can rush really because you have to wait for any damage to heal first and then it's weeks of work to get things right. That said it's the sort of injury where coming back early comes with an increased risk of further injury rather than a risk of setbacks for the same injury so it's something you often see people decide to 'give it a go' with.
