An injury like that may come back to haunt him in the years to come. f***.

 

Very fair point that.

 

Keepers put their bodies on the line - rough & tumble position, falls onto shoulder points etc. Krul's a brave & agile one too, a cracking shot-stopper who throws himself around with abandon. Impacts & collisions, awkward falls etc, are an occupation hazard for somebody like TK. Shoulder injuries (dislocations espec) are reoccurers, as you allude to. Hitting the ground, on a diving save, with an outstretched arm as the point-of-impact with the body's momentum trailing behind the jolting stop- canny way to jar/crunch the shoulder like. Undesirable type of injury this.

Hasn't he had this type of injury before?

 

I think you might be right iirc, missed some footy when coming through the reserves iirc.

 

If so, due to the type of injury & how he plays (risk factor involved), it has the makings of a rinse & repeat cycle.

I dislocated my shoulder, playing in goal too actually and its kept me out of any sport for 6 six months now, absolute b****** of an injury and could need surgery to stop it happening again  :(

 

In a way it's lucky it's now, so he has the off season to get it sorted.

What are the chances of a full recovery from this? With him regularly landing on it could this end up hampering the rest of his career?

 

Opening the floor for the resident medical "experts." Bold move.
