    In the PR site the coach says "Its only a short term injury". Surely that is the biggest pile of waffle ever.

    Mabey its only a fracture, but if it is broken then no way is it short term.

    Not trying to sound smart here but this really gets on my nerves!

    Fracture = Broken

    Quoting from Wikipedia because its phrases it quite nicely:
    "A fracture is the (local) separation of an object or material into two, or more, pieces under the action of stress."

    But a broken leg will take 6weeks to heal in terms of being out of a cast etc, but 6weeks of not movement will lead to a fair bit of muscle loss etc so I doubt he'll be back in 8 weeks.

    Wrecks my head.
    Another one: Damaged/"did" tendons = Sprain.

    I meant something like a hair-line fracture as opposed to the bone in two pieces.
