Yep, sucks for him but it's great news for Theo Walcott and Shaun Wright-Phillips, who are both in contention for the right-wing.
Ok I pray to god he had something wrong with it prior to that, because he didn't even do anything and it tore. He just stepped on it. Now I'm being careful walking aorund my own friggin house.
They way it gives out, makes me cringe every time. I broke my foot playing soccer and I didn't do much more than he did. The older you get the more susceptible you are to injury, too.
You don't have to be absolutely leveled to break anything. A slight touch when your leg is in an awkward position can be detrimental.
