Good luck to him but I’ll believe it when I see it.
Three weeks is quite a long time. Strange silence from all the medical professionals taking a break from surgery to pontificate on here about how he should have carried on playing.
@PJ Connolly: nothing more than 3 weeks, which is basically 2 weeks, max 2 and a half. That’s absolutely nothing! Muscle injuries are atleast six even for the slightest tears or strains!
@Lad: thanks doc!
Love to see him make it back to play the first game but youd have to worry about they uruguayans rattling him every opportunity they get. Id say they wont risk him
