Ex-Player Watch Player watch: Jan Vertonghen

[Bus-Conductor]

Emre Can recovered from ruptured ankle ligaments in about a month, didn't he?

Just because Can can doesn't mean Jan can.

 

[THFCSPURS19]

Should be fit for the CL then. Could have been worse.

Official: Vertonghen out for 6-8 weeks with ligament damage. Euro over for him. #thfc #belwal

Just because Can can doesn't mean Jan can.

But can Jan can-can better than Can can?

 

[Sandros Shiny Head]

Well if one of the three CB's had to get injured, I'm'glad' it's Jan. Wimmer was excellent last season

 

[CosmicHotspur]

TalkSport saying he could be out for up to 4 months. I hope not true.

 

[bomberH]

TalkSport say a lot of things. They're bound to be correct at least twice a year.

 

[HildoSpur]

6-8 weeks is bad but much better than what it could have been I guess. At least we have Wimmer

 

[kaz Hirai]

If we can unload Fazio maybe pick up Ragnar on the cheap just in case

KEVIN!!!! Wherever you are don't run, jump, kick a ball or swim. Just lay on the beach and stay there.

Perhaps we should be using the cryogenic chamber treatment for players injuries. I believe this was how Leicester players came back so quickly last year.

What if the tide comes in?

In terms of belguim this may actually make them stronger, Vertonghen isn't a LB

He was due to play CB with Toby against Wales as their usual CB is suspended

Typical, he could only play for spurs really couldn't he?

I thought Denayer was going to play as CB.

 

[Luka Van der Bale]

I thought Denayer was going to play as CB.

He is now yes. Because Jan is injured.

I used to work at a Hyperbaric chamber, they had a few athletes come in for courses of treatments, but with sports injuries (despite what the promotional material says) the benefits are questionable, and have never been properly established. In fact two athletes who competed in the London Olympics, who underwent this very same treatment, both pulled up in their respective events, from the injury they were trying to treat. When you talk to them on the quiet (ie. when my boss wasn't about) they acknowledge it's a long shot, but in their line of work it's mostly a case of anything that doesn't make it worse could offer a slightly faster recovery, but that's about as far as you can solidly say in that regard.

 

[THFCSPURS19]

He is now yes. Because Jan is injured.

But I thought he was going to play there even when JV was fit (he would continue at LB).

 

[dondo]

We also have Davies who is playing very well for Wales as a left sided CB who could cover for verts but I imagine wimmer is the next in line

Big Kev would laugh and kick it back out to sea.
