That's horrible, could be career ending, but fingers crossed it would be okay.
It depends on the grade of the injury.. if its grade 1, he might come back but a grade 3 is def career ending and might come back, just not the same.
Btw it also depends on the operation done and the surgeon who does it too.
Fuck that's sad. Most likely his career over at his age now if it is his Achilles is gone. Was an absolute warrior for us
I'll never forget Skrtel being handed a 3-match ban by the FA for stamping on De Gea's ankle.
Honest to god I've no idea why this moment stuck with me - I neither support Liverpool nor Man U - but I suppose it's because a player getting banned after a game for 3 matches for an incident they didn't get carded for is just not something that happens all that often.
It actually happens pretty often because if the incident is seen by the referee (I.e carded) then it can't be punished retrospectively. Think that rule has changed slightly since then but I'm not entirely sure.
Man was demolishing Turkey in the past,i hope Martin is fine.
TIL Martin Skrtel is still playing. Had some great games at Liverpool.
He has hair now aswell.
Been quite a few guys who have left Liverpool and grown hair
Thought he was bald? Transplants?
I did too. Think he just shaved it.
Looks completely different with it https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_%C5%A0krtel
To be honest why do many Liverpool rejects or former LFC players just go to Istanbul to play for Besiktas or Fenerbahce? I'm very curious about it.
A lot of European rejects go there, it isn't just an LFC thing.
It's horrifying to see how easy it is to injure yourself this severely. A single misplaced foot was all it took.
Its not the misplaced foot that causes the injury. It's often rapid acceleration or change of pace that does it especially when a person gets older and tries to live to the pace of their younger selfs
If you’ve ever seen a Achilles rupture, it’s not pretty.
Damm even our ex players aren't spared now. Dejan / Ragnar, watch out.
Couldnt have happened to a nicer dude
Fucking cunt. Karma.
Man U for the last what, 7 years? Must be karma.
