Or it could be 2 weeks out.

Looks worse than Kane earlier in the season. He had a lot of weight on it. He may well need surgery, and even if not he may not be quite the same player again. Hopefully I am wrong, but it isn't just a question of how long he is out for but whether his ankle will be as strong as before once healed. He does have the best support available though and best case scenario he has just sprained it really bad and it will heal up fine.
Its not a career ender. My son, over 6 foot just as heavy came down on his ankle from a great height when playing basketball, he turned it as much and felt the pain, went faint and dizzy and nauseous. It took us about 4 / 6 weeks with constant ice, exercise and rest. The hospital wouldn't even X-ray it. Vert will have professional medical support although I cant see it being less than 4 weeks. I son had to strap it up and carry on, vert will be pampered.
Yeah I saw ligaments and shit it.....just assumed it was knee
Superman should pull through
They have to access whether theres any fracture or tears. I know there are different levels of sprains, lets hope his is not the worse case scenario.

Reasons to be cheerful; when Wimmer was filling in last season he did so well that there was serious discussion over whether he should have been played instead of Jan against United at home.
And that was in a less forgiving back four.
Alderwiereld and Vertonghen have completed only 10 full prem games this season!! That's less than half of games played in the league this season. We have already proven we have the depth to cover the loss of a CB and also still have the technical flexibility of having the option of 3 or 4 at the back. We're 2nd with the best defensive record having not had our best CB partnership for half our league games.
its incredible. In 30 years of supporting this club I have never known stats like these.
I think we missed Toby more!!
Tobes+Dier+Wimmer/Davies as the back 3 should be OK... that's the point of having 3 of them there... there's always cover!
Besides, in Davies (an Wimmer I believe) both have played on the left of a Central Defensive unit/partnership for Wales & Austria... I think!

Desperate luck for Jan, coming down heavily on the bloody astroturf alongside the pitch, that according to the radio is only there to make things look nicer. Presumably for the telly? Unbelievable if true.
This. Alderweireld is the key to our defence ticking, which just goes to show how incredible the stats are for the season so far when we missed him for roughly half of it.I think we missed Toby more!!

Three at the back allows him to marshal the defence in the most effective way - so great to watch.
Indeed. The one aspect that makes the London Stadium better than ours is the amount of turf a player can run into when chasing the ball. About 20 yards of it!
The turf is there to cover all the wires and protects them. Having 30ft cables around the edge of the pitch is going to lead to people falling all over them and standing on them with metal studs.
One aspect where WHL is utter shit, the crowd is very close to the pitch but at a cost of surface along the edges. I've commented in the past that for a player to take a corner at WHL they have to step on 3 different types of terrain (Sandy-earth, astro then grass). This is only going to lead to poor corners and injuries.
The players going from having incredible traction on grass to being ice skaters in the span of 1 stride.
That is an old picture. This year is the first year we have ever had Astro turf. So to answer your question the majority of that surface is now Astro turf.
Can someone genuinely tell me what the point of all that blue shit around the pitch is? What even is it? Why not just have astro-turf right to the crowd barrier? Fucking stupid.
That is the first time anyone has described WHL is utter shit because it's close to the pitch. Congratulations.

Running track underneath?
One injury due to a freak landing off the pitch, in over 100 years and WHL has an utter shit aspect
:avbpray: please.... Bizarre how nearly the same time of year Vertonghen does his ligaments again. At least we know Wimmer is more than capable of filling in.
Didn't he also do his ankle ligaments at the Euros?
