Szczesny's Dislocated Finger

[Barry the Badger]

I see that Szczesny is out for 6 weeks with the dislocated finger he picked up v Barcelona.

 

Now I remember seeing a Bruce Grobbelaar video when I was young in which he said he used to dislocate them all the time and would just pop/snap them back into place himself and carry on.

 

So my questions are, do keepers still do this at any level? Was Grobbelaar just talking BS and it never actually happened at all?

 

Is it just a sign of the times that something you would supposedly play on with 20 years ago is now a 6 week absence, or is Szczesny's just likely to be a really bad one?

Grobbelaar never wore and exoskeleton on his hands either.
