He will need to get it scanned to find out the degree of rupture. Going by the fact he couldn't hobble off I imagine it is the worst type. Hopefully I am wrong.Was fearing the worst when he went off. Must admit I was almost releived to see him 'just on crutches' and out at the end. Any news?
He was returning from a calf injury I think, not hamstring. I wonder if he tweaked it a little earlier when stretching for Allen's cross-field pass, which he failed to keep in.Without access to any scans etc I'm going to have an educated guess that the damage is actually not too bad based on the relatively innocuous looking mechanism of injury. Pain level has a really poor correlation with actual tissue damage in acute injuries and since he was making a return from another hamstring injury Id like to bet theres a degree of what's called 'central sensitisation' involved in his initial reaction.
Hopefully just a grade 1-2 that won't hamper his pre season too much...
Could be completely wrong though mind

He might be faking to miss ButlinsShould only miss a couple of friendlies and his holiday to Butlins.

Just checked and you're absolutely right... Ignore me everyone
Must have been thinking of Kelly who was hamstring at the same time!
Parents took me to Butlins in Bognor Regis way back when. Still mentally scarred by it, and can still remember being woken up 'Hi de Hi' style by Tolchard Evans and his singing piano every morning (my parents even bought a vinyl copy of the single to extend the tortured memory).
I think the hamstring call could've come from the radio?
Dad wasn't at the game so I phoned him up at HT and he had it on the radio, I asked what they'd said about Eccles and he said they suspected hamstring.
It was definitely a hamstring this time around but my thoughts about it being a recurrence were were unfortunately not based on reality
Sounds like hell.
The Adult Weekenders in Butlins are something else though!
I was warming up the goalie for the team I manage and felt my calf have a small explosion in it. It was agony and I could hardly walk for weeks. If it was that, I'm not surprised he was carried off.Must have been quite serious if he needed the stretcher. In most cases players can generally hobble off under their own steam after a hamstring injury.
So you were rubbing the goalie up and down and you felt a small explosion then couldn't walk for weeks, you sure it was a calf you pulled!I was warming up the goalie for the team I manage and felt my calf have a small explosion in it.

I joined a new football team and went to the first training session over at Ernesford Grange, and the player/manager tried to knock the ball past me, so I shadowed his run. His achilles went, but he was absolutely convinced I had kicked him, so was trying to stick one on me, but was in too much pain to get close enough. Took me ages and a pint I bought him in the bar afterwards to half convince him I hadn't touched him. He went to hospital and next time was all strapped up. Became good friends, but it took a while before he wrote it off in his mind. Probably didn't help that I started where he usually played in the team!
Really appreciate your insight into stuff like this, thanks for sharingDue to the lack of initial pain with even full Achilles ruptures it's actually really common for people to think they've been kicked or hit by something, then realise nobody is there and try to run off before they realisetheir calf isnt attached to anything anymore!
You can see Becks looking behind him to see who just kicked him here:
