Ouch, poor bloke. Hope he recovers with no long-term effects.

3 months ! Who's their physio? Harry Potter!?

Must be hairline fractures to be 3 months surely, if not you would expect 6 months out.

Forgot ti add. Get well soon Thorne

Broken bones are actually easier to treat than some ligament injuries. With the right treatment a fast recovery is possible. Most of the 'great unwashed' get the cheapest effective treatment rather than the best so the recovery time is typically much longer.

Still, it's a nasty and very painful injury (from personal experience of a similar injury). I wouldn't wish it on anyone. You could tell from our own player's reaction that it was a serious injury with them rushing the physio and med team onto the pitch. I noticed they delayed - a bit of the Chelsea effect with them waiting for the green light to enter the field of play from the bench.

I genuinely hope three months is true as it would mean he would start the season a bit late but will only have summer to rehabilitate. Get well soon Thorne - you'll always be welcome in Ipswich.

Feel a bit sorry for Thorne, as he has suffered from injuries, since joining Derby. Did knee ligaments just as he'd signed for them and now this. Get well soon

Clean breaks according to Derby, hence shorter than expected recovery time. As per other posts, hope he is back as soon as that.

Didn't see the incifent but good luck George for a speedy recovery .

thats tough on any footballer, fortunately end of season, hope he is on a comeback at start of new season .

12 weeks is pretty standard for leg breaks, unless they need pinning, etc.
