Shaw at CB until Martinez is back…I just wonder how long Shaw is out for!
Martinez Injury | Out for the season with metatarsal fracture
- Thread starter Pogue Mahone
- Start date
Has he announced his retirement yet?
Acuna and montiel are holding a press conference this morning to announce it for him.
I'm still laughing at 'career ending'
Are they gonna carry him out in a coffin?
He is the Butcher, he will walk it off!
He tried to walk it off last night, the mad bastard.
yes, and then take their seat either side of his widow.
VVD rose from the dead, so I have no doubt he can come back from this.
This really calls for some t-shirts.
He could have been killed.
It was way over the top, but can you blame people going full panic if we have a very bad bench and a serious injury to one of our key players makes us so vulnerable? I am just glad it's not such a terrible injury as it might have seemed
Glad you are, the people who've had this injury and can't play at the top level anymore aren't though
I meant your tagline
I don't mind, I'm still right, you can laugh as much as you want when you're wrong, it's easy innit? Look at any medical study on Achilles injuries. Here's one regarding NFL players, and they don't even kick a ball for the most part:I meant your tagline

Everyone worries about Achilles. It’s a super serious injury. Thankfully it’s isn’t that!
Not these guys apparently, they're too cool to worry about things like career ending injuries. They just prefer to laugh at people who know more than they do.
Doubt the poster has ever played sport or known people who’ve done their Achilles. It’s a horrendous injury. My friend did it playing football - surprisingly it was painful but he managed to walk off the pitch With a bit of help. He was told 7/8 months until he can do any sort of running.
He went down on his own and looked completely distraught. What a horrible take, although I assume this is more wishful thinking than anything.
We’ve been fekked with injuries and suspensions this season and yet we’ve made great strides this season, which Martinez has been been a huge part of. Hope he’s back soon, but he can’t be rushed back.
Cruel, the football gods.
Cruel, the football gods.
Career ending cramp.
Exactly, I happen to know of two people who did theirs skateboarding of all things, both had reduced mobility in their foot afterwards and one walked with a bit of a limp. Running is completely out of the question for both of them.
It seems jumping to massive conclusions is something you both have in common.
Has it been confirmed that it's not achiles?
When I’m wrong? You ended his career several times last night, yet I’m wrong? I’m laughing at you hanging on the word of Robbie Savage of all people.
Not confirmed yet, no.
I hope this doesn't turn out to be his achilles heel
The Caf doctors diagnosed Varane with an ACL injury when he went off against Chelsea a few weeks before the world Cup. Not surprising Martinez had a fully diagnosed ruptured achilles before he was halfway down the tunnel.
I did? People said it was his Achilles and that he was out for the season, I said season? Try career.
Not really sure why you're laughing either, most people thought it was his Achilles based on what they saw, irrespective of what Robbie Savage thought on the matter.
But of course you knew better all along right? Couldn't have possibly been his Achilles last night could it? Where was this confidence before Ten Hag said he doesn't think it's his Achilles?
Career altering is more appropriate perhaps. Lots of players who suffer than injury come back at a much lower level.
ETH said it's not in that area.
Would it be the worst idea to play McTominay and Shaw as CBs? AWB on the right and Malacia/Dalot on the left.
Yes, it's hard to think of a worse back 4.
Yeah
I broke a metatarsal just walking down the stairs, stepped off bottom step, heard an almight crack. I just thought 'What the hell'. Then I tried to put my foot down. It was only a tiny crack and the pain was excruciating.
Yes it would indeed be the worst idea.
Yeah, probably
Looked like a lateral ligament in the ankle to me, happened to me before just sidestepping on the pitch, quite painful when it snaps. Hopefully it's that and not the Achilles anyway.
How long does that take to mend? One thing is if Argentina have any internationals in summer if will keep him out of them and will let him have a modicum of rest.
