6 months out..with a virus!!!


Recommended Posts

Wow, tough break on that one. About as annoying as the time Patrick Vieira got suspended for a year in one of my old CM01/02 for punching a ref in an international friendly. It's a bit of an odd one because they normally don't give out injuries for things that aren't football related (barring short-term flu, colds, food poisoning etc). Really nasty real life things don't make an appearance (for fairly obvious reasons).

Meningitis is a virus. That's a serious condition that would put someone out of action for 6 months.

I was waiting for this to pop up again. There's at least 2 or 3 threads complaining about a player being out for 6 months with a virus every year. :)

The unrealistic part of this is that you're being told upfront he's going to be out for months. It should start with "a couple of weeks", then progress to something more serious, then "we better send him to a specialist", etc.

I think if a player had a serious viral condition such as meningitis then the doctors would know he'd be out for a while. These serious conditions have symptoms all of their own and doctors are trained professionals. They don't say 'go home for a week and see if you get better'.

One of my teachers from the first year of high school contracted a virus and was away for 6 months or so. She quit soon after she came back. She was a good teacher as well.

UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar got a serious viral infection the other week which might have ended his career :(

iirc a few years ago as Chris Burke was making his name for Rangers, he took unwell continued playing and then collapsed on the pitch against Aberdeen. Im sure he was sent home and not allowed out for months.

Hes never been the same player since.

I thought it was a hole in his intestine? Thats what Heyman was saying on his blog anyway.

Babbel had Guillian-Barre syndrome, which is a fairly debilitating neurological condition. It can affect nerves supplying muscles and clasically affetc the hands and feet first and can gradually work its way up the body. If it affect the nerves that supply your muscles you need to breath, you are in trouble. In its worse form it can be fatal. So viruses can be very nasty things!
