Wouldn't surprise me at all if he never made it back. I remember thinking/dreading this then. Quite possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted January 16, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 16, 2018 It’s unlikely to be a career ender surely? Blimey, I hope that’s not the case. Would we have insurance in place against players getting crocked, or is it just the luck of the draw with investing in players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't allowed to do certain recreational activities because of it even when they're on holiday. Ski-ing, rock climbing etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn1982 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I’ve feeling once this window closes Kodija May see some light at the end of the tunnel and be back training by March. I just think Bruce is over stating the length he will be out so we go all out for a striker so we don’t have to rush him back like last time. It’d be lovely to have him fit for the last few games and potentially the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I think we need to just calm down and wait and see how the season progresses before speculating on his career being over. absolutely no foundation that this is the case. I am hoping we might see him end of season, bruce might just be saying that to get the fans and team not to rely on big kodjs return. have to admit though kodjia although is absolute quality we look more of a team without him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure speculation of course, but low bone density mentioned by Bruce as a reason for not healing properly and now a very long process again... doesn't sound promising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will have had it his whole life/career no? His ankle will heel, but considering we have no idea the extent of the problem it's a bit mad to talk about it being career ending. What is more worrying is that we didn't spot it early on and give him more recovery time. I doubt be back before the end of the season. They won't risk it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think we wanted him to go on international duty at the time he got injured but we couldn’t stop him going - Sod’s law I guess . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A'Villan Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I don't speak with any authority on Kodjia's position, I don't even know the specifics of his current injury. That said there are a few injuries you can obtain which are career ending, probably not all that insightful, I know. I was just chatting yesterday to a fellow basketball player who's professional career was ended at a very young age, he didn't give me his age but mentioned that he was in his 2nd season back from playing college ball in the states when the injury hit. One year to get full movement back and professional career over apparently. I'm obviously no doctor but it happens. I was hoping to receive better news by entering this thread. All the best Kodjia!

Think about it he has hardly played any football in almost 2 years Sorry mate but he got injured in April last year towards the end of the season. Missed pre-season and played 8 or so games this season. Hardly 2 years. The issue is his bones but he has been fine most of his career until now. My feeling is that he will be back next season and still be one of our best players. Well I hope for our sake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still dont know if he will even be back by end of the season. if not we wont see him in a competitive game until at least August i dont think he even completed 90 minutes did he~?

They've given him a basketball to train with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just concerned its been a long while since he has played properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
