But 4 in 5 do recover to the level they were at prior to their injury. Why look for bad news? It’s getting too much like the BBC!Science paper summary on this injury below
Stewart was injured on 28th January. He's currently at 176 days from injury (I think) not sure how long he waited for surgery.
He will be at about 200 days on first day of the season.
He will be at approx 227 days on transfer deadline day.
Results 118 athletes (mean age 27.2±7.2 years) were included. 113 (96%) returned to unrestricted practice after a mean of 199±53 days, with faster recovery in players involved in national teams. Return to competition was after a mean of 274±114 days. In the 76 athletes with at least two seasons of follow-up, 14 (18%) did not compete at the pre-injury level during the two seasons following the index injury. Six players (8%) sustained a re-rupture within the first two seasons after return to play; four re-ruptures were in footballers who returned to play <180 days after injury. Age >30 years and re-ruptures had higher odds ratios of not returning to the same level of play.
Conclusions 96% of professional male football players who underwent surgery to repair an ATR returned to unrestricted practice and then competition after an average time of 7 and 9 months, respectively. However, 18% did not return to the same level of play within the two seasons following their return, with a higher risk in those experiencing a re-rupture.
So, based on averages he should be back in full training on 1st day of the season and by doing so should miss the danger of coming back too soon/re-rupture.
But nearly 1 in 5 dont reach the pre injury levels within 2 years.
Apologies for typo..... Yeah, that Darren Anderton.Are you talking about Darren Anderton? The same Darren Anderton who played nearly 600 games?
Yeah his tag of being a sick note was totally unjustified, that was my point.Apologies for typo..... Yeah, that Darren Anderton.
Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about his nickname and maybe let Google know too.....
"Renowned as a player of huge potential, Anderton's career was constantly frustrated by injury, earning him the nickname "Sicknote", which was coined by Portsmouth goalkeeper Andy Gosney"

No. He's right up there with Quinny for me. Excellent striker. I really hope he stays.

Stewart is a fabulous player, moves well, and is an intelligent player. In my view, he is well worth a salary consistent with his best striker status before his injury.
I really wasn't having a dig at you for reporting facts. I like facts and it takes away the emotive issues. But, at the time, (I can't remember) I might have been reading so much negativism about the Stewart situation, I just felt generally there is too much focus on bad outcomes. I'd rather look at the potential for success in the negotiations.I thought it was just factual with no opinion either way
This is the Cannon thread.Any update on the signing of Friggin? I thought I'd try on here
Makes him available to play when?About 10 days since training on grass with physio, so should be close in the next few weeks to joining in full training you would reckon, so 4-5 weeks behind others
After internationalsMakes him available to play when?

When you say he's right up there with Niall Quinn........ I'm assuming you mean Niall Quinn, lead singer of The Cranberries?No. He's right up there with Quinny for me. Excellent striker. I really hope he stays.
