yeah but he's a striker.
Sometimes in life there are things that happen along the way that begin to unravel and make you realize that life is not a simulation game, like what the likes of Sims and FM would like you to think.
He meant he pulled, in the Grafton
There's a story going around that Lallana broke two ribs in the Leicester game and has been playing with pain killers since then. That would at least explain his limited time on the pitch, but would he really play in that condition? I broke a rib earlier this year and could barely move for several days. Even with pain killer injections you'd surely not be ready for contact in a game? Maybe they're exaggerating and it's bad bruising.
My understanding is that its something like metatarsals, it depends which one you break, the bottom rib like the metatarsal of your baby toe is unsupported on one side which makes it much tougher to heal and hence much more dangerous

Adam Lallana’s European snub in midweek was a consequence of the Liverpool midfielder suffering with two broken ribs.
The England star has been nursed through his pain in recent weeks - he sustained the injury in the 3-1 win at Leicester - which is why he was limited to a substitute's role against Basel in the Champions League.
In fact, Lallana has been undergoing pain-killing injections in order to remain with the squad. He played with the injury against Sunderland last Saturday.
Liverpool are still hoping the £23 million summer signing from Southampton will be available for the trip to Manchester United on Sunday - a key game as they seek a swift return to the Champions League next season.
Liverpool could have Mario Balotelli available for the match at Old Trafford as he has returned to training after missing the last six games with a groin problem.

Yep, broken ribs won't even take an elbow, just a barge off the ball done hard enough will have him in agony.
The club needs to relearn the fact that the media has no actual right to know anything. They don't need to justify their actions, whether results are positive or negative.
Most clubs use the media for their benefit, we seem to let the media use us for their benefit, then try to be their mate.
Yeah, but that's done now Fabio. Maybe explain once he's back to fitness again, but not whilst it's still an issue.
As is oft repeated on here though, if not fit to play, why the fuck was he on the bench?!

Agree but I think this was just as much for the benefit of the fans who are laying into Rodgers for not using Lallana.
Even so, the timing's appalling. As others have pointed out, far better to wait until *after* the game against ManUre if Lallana's in the running for a place in the side.
He doesn't have broken ribs, if he had BROKEN ribs he'd be in hospital as it's a very serious problem which can lead to puncturing of the lungs; he has fractured ribs. As someone who has fractured a rib before I'm still surprised he was on the bench, it's bloody painful and I couldn't play for 4 or 5 weeks.
These days broken and fracture refer to the exact same thing... A fracture isn't a subset of a break... But i would assume you mean like clean broken vs hairline break which is fair.
Would be interesting to know exactly what the problem was and why a Dr would clear him to even train and sit on the bench - one stray ball into the stomach and game over for a while!

Well quite. And you only need a bit of a knock and you're looking at even longer before you're really fit again, so it's fairly alarming that he wasn't just given time off to get a proper rest. The last time he played I saw him jump for a ball and land on his back, and he looked in a lot of pain, so this makes sense of that, but christ knows what stuff they're pumping into him if he was able to hobble on. If the likes of Suso can't get on to the bench even when a senior player is in that condition it doesn't suggest the pro-youth policy is still going.
Maybe in the media broken and fracture might be interchangeable Brizzle but I assure you in the medical profession there is a distinct difference because of the seriousness of a break.
My best mate is an orthapedic surgeon who gets very irate when people claim they have a broken rib etc when it's a fracture. Mind you he gets irate over lots of other things too, he's a twat who makes Doctor Cox from Scrubs seem amiable.
Hope she gets a right ribbing over this.
Haha. I think my sister saw an opportunity to send some pedantry my way after about 20 years of it all going in the other direction! I'll give her credit for being so convincing.
Suddenly the liverpool physio team led by the award-winning Dr Zaf Iqbal don't look too clever anymore....what was Brendan thinking trusting their expertise ?!
Should we create a thread to discuss their incompetencies ? I think we've laid blame on almost everyone in the club for our miserable season, except them.

They've had a bit of stick for turning Remy down TBF.
I'm mystified as to why football clubs have to brief the Press about everything.
They should bring back and entrust media relations to Ian Cotton having hid his pens, unplugged his PC and cancelled his mobile phone contract.

Thank goodness for that. I misread "pens" there for a moment.
Pesam's mate will have a bone to pick with her if he ever met her.
