People with more knowledge will know better than me but, when Bale did his ankle vs Basel, the recovery time was pretty sharp as charlie adam had already destroyed his ankle ligaments, is that the case here?

There is something in this because after the first time your ligaments have been stretched so are more able to take future knocks on it I think.

I think it only means that you will sprain your ankle more frequently. I don't think the recovery time gets lowered

Going by what Gards has said, am I right to assume that the very fact that he's had his scan done today, means that he had no swelling, as otherwise he would have had to wait to have the scan until the swelling has reduced ?

If there was any swelling it was minor by the time he did his scan, yes :)

iirc correctly there was one time the actual scanning took a few days, maybe that was the time he was out the longest...

goes away to clutch at more straws...

Vastly different scales of course but I've sprained my ankle more times than I care to remember on a football pitch, so many so that I'm currently going through the process to have reconstructive surgery this summer. From my point of view, once I've done it now it seemingly heals quicker than previously. Hope that's the case with Kane...:cautious:

This summer's world cup is coming at a bad time for Kane. He's likely to need surgery on that ankle or this is just going to happen more and more frequently.

Should be enough time after England manage to go out within two matches.

Let's hope. In reality he'll just be completely fucked for the beginning of next season.
Theoretically if we were to beat Chelsea and go 8 points clear of 5th I do wonder whether we'd consider putting him under the knife straight away if we think it'll be needed at one point or another...

No chance! FA Cup seems rather important...

That type of injury is from impact, nothing to do with the strength of the ligaments.

Fucking hell how about we stop speculating for once eh

I could see you making a similar quote to the above quite soon. Then again, I can also envision a scenario in which you say nothing and keep schtum for quite a while. Could go either way, really.
