Matt1892 Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Maybe we should have a round of applause every game in the 70th minute to mark the time he usually comes off the bench to show our support? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lish007 Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Wonder how he did it? Strange injury. Bit like when Tripps came in and immediately broke his foot. Gutted for the lad, he looked upset when going off. Their careers are short at the best of times and it's a nightmare thing to happen when you join a new club. Happens to most of our signings though so I reckon he will be fine! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 It happened as he tried to accelerate. Howe called it an “unlucky” injury, no impact, just came from trying to run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Displayname Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Good thing that its the position we have the most semi-cover on. Joelinton, Isak, Anderson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happens to most of our signings though so I reckon he will be fine! My guess is flexor tendon related and happened when he went to push off and accelerate. Tendon inserts/connects just under the toe and acts to bend the toe or push off in running action. I’ve seen similar type stuff in clinic but not elite sportsman obviously.

Footballer’s basically can have a 20-25 year stint as a player alone. Then there’s other jobs in football. I don’t think I know anyone in a normal walk of live having the same job anywhere near 20-25 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon's been in the best form of his career, but he's going to need some rest over the next couple of weeks, it wasn't the best time for Barnes to get an injury from a team POV, and of course it's rotten luck for him personally as well.

Vinny Green Balls Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 (edited) I think two years working at any single place is my record, and I'm 48.

It's incredible how in each of the last 3 seasons a big signing has got injured almost instantly and missed 3 months - Trippier, Isak, now Barnes.

Yeah I'm talking about when they're at the top of their game - fighting for trophies etc etc. It doesn't happen to many of them and when it does happen, you may only get a few years doing it. I'm sure most footballers would play forever if their bodies allowed. It just has a finite ending even if you didn't want it to. Unlike most of our careers which seem to drag on forever haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
