Was Cumbo seen anywhere near the ‘mishap’?

”Surely they’ll have to select me now”
”Out: Taranto. In: Green”
”D’oh!”

Gotta feeling these players have never been 100% fit for the last few years.....and never admitted it to the coaches. Small things like this become big injuries later.

Nah, not that long. Jeremy Howe last year had broken two bones in his elbow, and four in his forearm plus an AC joint injury and got back in 14 weeks. I'm no doctor but you'd think it'd be less than 14 but more than 4, maybe 8 weeks or so?

Usually cast on for 6 weeks. I fractured my ulnar a few years back (should have been given surgery but the doctors stuffed it up) and was in a cast for 6 weeks.

How does not being fit lead to a fractured wrist???

I'm talking about all others in general not Taranto. Maybe they carried a soft injury/soreness (without telling the coaches?) through this and past seasons and pre-seasons which has inflamed now.

I'm only guessing coz I'm no expert, but I had a sore knee 2 summers ago which disappeared last summer thinking it's all good now, only for it to somehow arrive again and become worse this summer coz I didn't report it to any GP.

Hope you are correct WR. Bone heals in 4-6weeks. Strength and range of motion issues will then need to be overcome. Let's hope there are no setbacks....

Depends on severity and whether it is distal or proximus fracture. Distal radius fractures can take about three or more months. and that's before a return to training.
