Be great if Jimmy Stone could get an Interview with him for Getting to know the Network - The story of his never ending injury saga would be very intruiging to hear if the club havent handled it correctly
All joking apart Achilles injuries are absolutely horrible.....arguably the worst you can get as a sports person. I actually snapped mine completely some years back and things sport wise have never been the same since.....l particularly miss my skiing holidays......sigh!
From memory he has only played 3-4 games since the beginning of September last season, now we are told he will not play again this season.
It strikes me we have treated this injury not as well as we could, BUT I am not in the medical profession so may be doing the club an injustice.
I would like to know what his view of the situation is.
Me too.
There was quite a lot on BBC radio a week ago about the mental damage of long term injuries, and that English football is generally not recognising that footballers need emotional support and counselling as well as top quality physical medical advice. I believe Dean Ashton is one of those who spoke about it.
Anyway I listened and thought of Kashi and Vetokele, and asked myself if an ex junior lawyer would be well equipped to recognise the need to spend money on specialist counselling and support of that type. I gave her the benefit of the doubt, and tried to imagine her arguing the case for the money with RD. I gave up at that point.

Igor too.
Both under contract (for now), so they would be crazy to speak against the club.

Maybe its one reason why the next podcast will take so long to be released

A friend of mines son is a retired senior British athlete with a sports science degree who worked with a number of professional footballers over the summer on fitness levels. He was amazed at how poor the medical maintenance of players by clubs was. This included a player with a two year knee problem which under friends tutelage was sorted in 3 months, anothers knee problem sorted by muscle development around the knee. It seems lower league medical management of players leave a lot to be desired.

Whilst I am only in the middle of my second year at university doing a sports science degree, I totally agree with this.
We have a charted physiotherapist as one of our lecturers, she worked with the GB Olympic team at London 2012. She's said and showed us some of the people and pictures she's worked with and the treatment players get outside the premier league is very poor.
It's great news for me however, means there is always going to be some kind of work about (well, here's hoping)!

This doesn't surprise me at all. I don't watch a ton of American sports, but it feels like we're lightyears ahead in terms of sports science and medicine.
Also, Achilles injuries are very difficult. I've written a lot about this, and my personal experiences. I suspect that at the beginning of the season he was having problems with scar tissue, and thus had surgery to have it removed and now may be on bed rest to ensure it doesn't occur again. That said, I would hope that around now, about 4ish months out, he'd be getting the all clear to get back to doing "impact" work (jogging, gym work, etc).

This article from 2010 mentions a few famous players who had achilles injuries, and how career limiting they were.
Achilles injuries have had a devastating effect on the careers of several big-name footballers. Perhaps the most high profile was John Barnes. The Liverpool winger ruptured his achilles tendon in England's last warm-up before Euro '92 - a 2-1 friendly win against Finland in Helsinki. It took Barnes, then 28, five months to return to the Liverpool side and he lost the blistering pace that had characterised his game. The midfielder was left with a six-inch scar and, 18 years on, said his injured calf was still an inch and a half shorter than his good leg. John Barnes
Barnes added: 'You never really get that muscle back, but I relied on my pace and David never did, so I don't think it will necessarily impair his ability.'
Others to have suffered from tendon trouble include: Yakubu: The Everton striker (right), then 26, ruptured his achilles playing against Tottenham in November 2008 and did not start a Premier League match until October 2009. Mark Lawrenson: Aged just 30, the Liverpool defender snapped an achilles tendon in March 1988 and retired prematurely from football. Neil Webb: The midfielder, then 26, snapped an Achilles tendon in action for England - just four games after a £1.5million move from Nottingham Forest to Manchester United in 1989. Webb was never the same player again, moving back to Forest in 1992 and suffering another achilles injury before dropping down the League with moves to Swindon, Grimsby and Aldershot.
Mark Lawrenson: Aged just 30, the Liverpool defender snapped an achilles tendon in March 1988 and retired prematurely from football to become one of the most annoying commentators on television.
better take the opinion that he does not want to play for a league one side and he does not want to be here or take our medical treatment and should be honest about it and go

On the other hand if he is paid a decent wack, why give it up, knowing he won't be the player he used to be

Apologies if you have already posted elsewhere.
I suppose the Belgians try to do treatment on the cheap as well.
