Turn your mummy's laptop off and get your self to bed sunny!!!

Christ! hope he doesnt read this he will panic!!! End his career??? NO!!!!!!

He will be fine. In many regards fractures are far more preferable to severe tissue damage. With the right treatment he will be fine. A massive set back, yes. But even if he requires open surgery to insert pins and plates he will be fine. Often pin and plates speed up recovery as the need to immobilisation is not as great, therefore muscle atrophy is less.

He will be fine!

Not a surgeon, sadly learned first hand

best wishes and good luck to him, great young prospect hope he is on the mend soon

Best wishes Richard, hope to see you on the pitch again before too long - RL needs players like you to keep old gits like me watching and saying to our kids and grandkids ' I used to be able to do that' (and not saying it was all in our dreams!) Stay positive, don't rush things and use the time this injury has given you to good effect.

You obviously haven't seen the film Innerspace. Drag yourself into the eighties man!!
