His season is probably over isn’t it?

Ligament damage at the least 6-8 weeks minimum |  |

Put your hankies away, thats a common picture in football. The question is whether or not the ligaments have gone. They're just as likely to be fine with 10 days rest. |  |

Doesn't look promising at all that.
KM is right tho. We can trust Burgess. He came from the left side of a 3 last season and he wasn't given that opportunity under PC. |  |

Correct.
You can roll you ankle as shown in the photo and do nothing more than strain the ligaments which can be ok in as little as 2-3 weeks dependent on how much they stretched.
It depends to what extent the ligaments stretched and that is impossible to say by any photo.
You’d be amazed at how much an ankle can stretch and no serious damage be done. Freeze frame photos have shown ankles before where you think the guy must have snapped his leg and in actual fact he just carried on.
If they fully stretched of have partially torn then it could be 8-12 weeks. Full year or rupture and yes season definitely over but the club would already know that from scans. [Post edited 9 Mar 2022 20:39]

Was there fella in the euros one year who landed on a bent ankle and everyone assumed he'd torn something. Only for him to play 2 weeks later. | |

Like I said , lateral collateral ligament damage. If this happened to you or I (without the benefit of immediate medical support / rehab the player will get), we’d be looking at something in the region of 6-8 weeks. if severe structural fibre tearing occurs, anything from 6months upwards.
Regardless of medical interventions and rehab access the body will repair at roughly the same rate whether you’re in the professional sporting arena, or Joe public like us. The key difference is access to immediate medical attention to limit secondary trauma due to the effects swelling. I suspect a lot of the players have access to hyperbaric chambers to enhance tissue healing .
Hope he’s back really soon. |  |

My fear is that even if it’s 2-3 weeks, he’ll be out for huge games against Portsmouth, Oxford and Plymouth which will likely define our season.
Still, let’s all get behind Burgess. He must be chomping at the bit to have a go and has had enough time to see how McKenna wants his CBS to play. Not as natural on the ball, but Woolfenden does most of the carrying out from the back now. |  | | |

Burgess and his height could be very handy over these next few games. Esp sat against their 2nd top scorer who is fairly handy in the air.
I'd be more concerned if we lost wolfy at the moment as he is the key ball player from the back imo | |

That’s a very specific diagnosis from a photograph |  |

Also. Watching the town in 5. He walks albeit limping. Surely if it was 'that' bad, he'd have been carried off and not Ben able to put any weight on it | |

I tore the ligaments in my ankle when I was 12. Walking was not an option. In fact breathing was about as much as I could do. God it hurt. I was in plaster for months after some barsteward straightened my foot up. Mind you, that was so long ago they were still using leeches and handy saws.
Hopefully, Edmundson has not done that, will recover quickly and be back in a week or two. [Post edited 10 Mar 2022 7:55]

It's pretty obvious he's strained his ligaments as in rolled his ankle rather than anything more severe based on what the club have said and the fact he was walking.
It will be sore and it's as much as only being able to play once when the swelling has gone down and having full motion of the ankle again. I reckon he'll miss a couple of games but nothing worse than that.
I've been playing with an ankle that was purple and blue two weeks after rolling it, the swelling made the ankle look ridiculous colours but after a week didn't hurt at all! | |

Yes it is and it’s my best clinical judgement. It’s based on mechanism of injury, velocity of injury, and the structures under stress. He also suffered immediate, significant swelling and was unable to continue to play. I doubt he’ll play for a few weeks now unfortunately. Would be delighted to be wrong of course and sincerely hope I am! [Post edited 10 Mar 2022 7:21]

The good news is if anything happens to our medical team, we'll be able to replace them quickly with the amount of medical experts in this thread. |  | | |

Its a tendon issue he has, the swelling needs to come down before they properly tell the damage though. |  | | |
