lolgasm Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I've heard of this, you do get them out for 1-2 years with a major infection, although it beats me as to how the physio can predict that from an infection. Cruciate ligaments - out for a year and a half iirc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HonkyDick Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 In recent times I remember players having a fractured skull. I also remember years ago, I'm not sure which game but one of the old management games in the 90s. It seemed like once a year a player would die, stuff like players getting struck by lightning on the way to training. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

O\'Hara_fan Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Worst I've ever had was 13 months for Chris Riggott with crucial ligaments.

addicted86 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 In recent times I remember players having a fractured skull.I also remember years ago, I'm not sure which game but one of the old management games in the 90s. It seemed like once a year a player would die, stuff like players getting struck by lightning on the way to training. this was premier manager. i absolutely loved this game... there was a brilliant cheat where if you clicked the bottom of the transfers screen you could "sell john lukic" for about £500k, worked wonders if you were in the lower leagues! also when players retired they always "retired to run a country pub" which i thought was very amusing. on FM, the worst injury i have had is charles nzogbia; he did his cruciate ligaments about 1 month after i brought him to portsmouth. tragic.

Wee Aja Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I remember Markus Babbel being out for ages with Epstein-Barr virus whilst he was at Liverpool. Nearly killed him IIRC. That's the worst I've heard of IRL, perhaps your player has something like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavenagh Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I've heard of this, you do get them out for 1-2 years with a major infection, although it beats me as to how the physio can predict that from an infection. It helps if you think of your physio as being the liaison between you and the medical staff looking after the player. Once the infection is identified then the prognosis for recovery can be made. Which will include the amount of time that rehabilitation can take. It's not the amount of time from infection to the infection being cleared, but the amount of time from infection to when the player will be ready to play football again. For example, the infamous Guillain-Barré syndrome that Markus Babbel contracted can be cleared in a matter of weeks. However, the nerve damage can take years to rehabilitate (depending on the patient and how widespread the damage was). Surely you wouldn't be able to walk again if you broke you back never mind play football? A broken back, or broken neck, would mean a fractured vertebrae. Though such fractures can be fatal or paralysing, they are not impossible to recover from and return to sport. Dion Dublin broke his neck and came back to playing again (with a metal plate in his neck). Calling it a Broken Back is partially hyperbole, partially the common form for the injury, and partially SI preventing the forum from being filled with 'What's a Vertebra?' posts. I remember Markus Babbel being out for ages with Epstein-Barr virus whilst he was at Liverpool. He got Epstein-Barr first, then contracted Guillain-Barré syndrome from that, Epstein-Barr is a very very common form of herpes, that most adults will contract at some point. It's mostly harmless.

ScouseFromTheSouth Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I remember this too! Wasnt that long ago, i remember playing CM 01/02 when Dele Adebola had fractured skull. Was out for around a year. CM was the daddy for freak injuries! I've had Bojan fracture his skull on FM08 (due to a mistimed challenge I think, I couldn't help but picture how mistimed the challenge actually was). I think I've had Eden Hazard out for 2 years with a serious viral infection, effectively ruining his chances of even nearly reaching his PA. The compassionate manager I am, I released him.

The_Kreman Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 On the latest FM08 update there is a guy in the Luton squad that starts the game being out for a year with a viral infection. I personally liked to think it was meningitis or aids, but that just a personal preference. Maybe other people would like to picture him with hepetitis C or something.

Ozzy38 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 The only big injury I've had was in CM 01/02, I bought Andy Cole than before the season started he got injured for a couple of years, so he just retired and I got compensation.

The last game he played for Luton was in march 2006, when he got a relatively minor injury, something like a broken arm that needed an operation, but there was complications and he got some sort of virus and has never recovered enough to be able to play with the club releasing him a couple of months ago.

Heartwork Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Yeah that's what I was thinking. The virus could be a less common virus which can attack a specific part of the body, like the infections from a recent injury, or tuberculosis (that won't be very likely though). The injury from the first post may have been a cut or gash that had escalated into something worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
