Lallana injured...

[SaintNeil90]

The puncheon comments are hilarious.

[John Cool]

"No"

"Because I say so"

"Even if I could I wouldn't"

 

JP is very much PNG with NA!

[Clapham Saint]

The change in our play when he went off last night was quite alarming. Why does nobody else seem to want to drive the ball forward into the box?

[RedAndWhite91]

Lallana was walking around Fleet services alright when he stopped off for a Maccy D's, then later sped past us on the motorway in his White BMW at about 100mph. I think he should be fine.

I'm not happy with our key player living on a diet of Maccy D's. Adkins out.

He didnt go on the team coach then ? :-)

[NorthamSteve]

Hammond had a sicknes bug in the week.

 

Adam looked like he was suffering from that, the trainer DID NOT go with him to the changing room to give him treatment. I suspect that he was offloading a massive ****.

 

He'll be fine.

[fanimal]

So was he sick; concussed; groin injury; but OK at Fleet? Some real info would be welcome - we seroiusly need him for the last 10!!

Westin knows the family, he reported it is a groin injury, thats as accurate as we are going to get I reckon.

[saintdaz]

if it is a groin injury lets hope its a first degree groin strain see:

.What to do if you are an unlucky sufferer from groin strains, and what action you can take to avoid them

 

 

A 'groin pull' (aka groin strain) is often a bruise, stretching, or tearing of muscle fibres which run from the front of the hip bone to the inside of the thigh. These 'hip-adductor' muscles, namely the adductor longus, adductor brevis, adductor magnus, gracilis, and pectineus, actively move the thigh toward the centreline of the body ('adduction') and also help to control and limit movements of the thigh away from the body's centre. Thus, the adductor muscles stabilise the hip and leg during all sporting activities which involve running. In some groin pulls, the muscles themselves are okay, but the tendons attaching the muscles to the front of the hip bone are stretched and inflamed. In rare cases, there is an inflammation of the hip bone itself, or even a hair-line fracture of the hip bone. Groin pulls can keep athletes out of action for weeks and even months at a time ('Pelvis and Sacral Dysfunction in Sports and Exercise', Phys Med Rehabil Clin N Am, Vol. 11(4), pp. 805-836, November 2000).

 

What causes it?

Sports experts believe that groin strains can be caused by a variety of different factors, including:

 

(1) Overuse. Since the adductors must stabilise the hip with each footfall during the act of running, they are subjected to vertical-impact, front-to-back, lateral-plane, and rotational forces about 90 times per minute per leg. Strenuous workouts can put great strain on the adductors, and if the recovery periods between workouts do not permit adequate restoration, the adductor muscles and tendons may become increasingly more irritated.

 

(2) Inadequate warm-up prior to strenuous activity. If the adductor muscles are not warmed and loosened up prior to intense work, or if the warm-up fails to prepare the nervous system to control the adductors in an optimal way, sudden movements may place too great a strain on the adductors, leading to tearing.

 

(3) Sudden dynamic movements, such as initiating a sprint, changing direction powerfully, leaping to catch a ball, surging up a hill, or hitting the ground after a jump. All of these activities subject the adductors to greater-than-normal force loads, which may produce damage.

 

(4) Poor mechanics while lifting heavy objects. When a large weight is hoisted, there is a tendency for the thigh to undergo abduction, ie, movement away from the centreline. If this is not controlled, the adductors may experience excessive strain.

 

(5) A forceful contact with an external object, such as the head of a rugby player, a soccer goal post, or another competitor's leg. When groin pull occurs, the leg is usually struck from the inside and driven away from the centre of the body.

 

How to recognise it

During your sporting activity, if you feel a sudden sharp pain in your groin area which causes you to stop - or at least slow down - your movement, you can be fairly confident that you have 'pulled your groin'. Motion at your hip joint will usually produce pain, and your groin area will become tender to the touch. Within 24 hours, you'll often be cursed with significant swelling and inflammation, and the injured area may feel warm to the touch. The swelling may spread downward, and discolouration can appear within 48 hours (and also may spread downward). Walking creates pain, and quality running is usually impossible.

If you're an athlete and decide to visit your health professional (a wise idea), he/she will want to know when the injury occurred, if physical contact caused the problem, and if activity had to be immediately terminated. He/she will also want to know if the existing pain is long-term (chronic) or of new onset (acute). You'll be asked to move the injured-side leg through several positions and indicate when pain is caused or intensified. The health-care specialist might also palpate the site of injury to see if pain is produced and evaluate the extent and duration of discolouration. Should a condition more serious than groin strain be suspected, imaging procedures may be prescribed, such as an x-ray, CAT scan, or magnetic-resonance imaging.

 

What action to take

There are things you can to do control pain and spur recovery. As soon after the injury as possible, you should elevate the injured-side leg, compress the site of injury, and apply ice (put a styrofoam cup filled with water in your freezer; once the water is frozen, peel away the top edge of the cup to expose a core of ice, and gently rub this nub on the injured area for about 12 minutes at a time, recovering for 20 minutes between rubbings). You'll want to stay away from walking, jogging, and running for as long as moderate-to-severe pain persists. Some therapists believe that very gentle manual massage, working from the lowest area of discolouration toward the central area, may hasten recovery and reduce discolouration. A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug may be prescribed, as well as a diet rich in antioxidants (see accompanying article).

The length of time you'll be out of action depends on whether you have a first-, second-, or third-degree groin pull. Generally, first-degree groin sprains are simple bruises of the adductor muscles (or hip bone), with possibly a stretched tendon or a few stretched muscle fibres. If you have to have a groin pull, first-degree strains are the ones to have: major symptoms typically disappear within a week.

A second-degree groin sprain involves stretched tendons, stretched or torn muscle fibres, and often bruising of the hip bone and its muscular attachments. They are usually symptomatic for two to three weeks. Lastly, a third-degree groin pull is represented by many ruptured muscle fibres, severely stretched tendons, and perhaps separation of a tendon from either its muscle or bony attachment. Symptoms can persist for six to eight weeks - or even longer.

Have you never heard of the Adkins diet?

Not necessarily.

Are you sure it was him?

 

Why was he not on the team bus and I think somebody said he had a Range Rover Sport.

There - that's better

[Mowgli]

I noticed no-one has decided to dispute the stats I put up, and give me a reason to think that if we have lost Lallana long term we can pick up enough points.

 

I think you've lost people's attention which is why no one is responding.

Not to bad an injury hoping to be out for about ten days all being well.

Good to hear, especially given that is the exact time we are due to play our next match.

That's good news.

 

Any news on Chambelain. He looked OK to me after he went off.

[Turkish]

They said on Solent he was carried down the tunnel by the physio??

He was supported as he hobbled round the side of the pitch. Maybe the strecther was just a precaution and following protocol...

 

At his age i'd be very surprised if he isn't back training in a few days.

I doubt you've heard anything on Chambo at all?

No news yet didn`t sound to good at the time,but hopefully will bounce back quickly.

We were at Fleet services. Adam Lallana was at Fleet services. Adam Lallana's car, a White BMW 4x4 thing, with 'adz' in the number plate, sped past us on the motorway. None of the rest of the team were there, he was 100% not on the team coach.

I was speaking to the Wolves coach driver at SMS once and asked why they had 2 coaches. He said that players have to arrive together by coach, but if they have the day off or other plans for after the game, someone will drive their cars up for them. These people are not allowed on the players coach so a 2nd was laid on for the drivers to get home with while the players took their cars to where ever.....

brilliant! haha
