I guess it's not the appropriate time to make jokes then!

Hopefully CzechLad can give us a better translation when he has a read of the article.

 

Relating to this I was going to see....when HairyHands was running amok on here didn't he say Lambert was unhappy with the medical staff and facilities here and wanted to change that over time.

 

Makes you think did we massively cut back that department over the last few years as I;d imagine it was good under MON with all the money we were spending.

how the hell do you manage to miss a broken bone as a doctor![/quote)

They probably sent him to Good Hope Hospital - affectionately known as No Hope Hospital. I should know. I went in there to have a varicose vein removed from my left shin and a week later I was re-admitted with a Pulmonary Embolism - blood clot in the left lung. I nearly died and had to take Warfarin for the next 6 months. A nurse left what turned out to be a tourniquet on my leg for 16 hours continuous post-op.

If he did go there he's lucky they spotted any break at all!

Would love to know just how Clark broke both his tibula and fibula, for instance Michael Schumacher broke both those bones in this crash in July 1999

He was back racing 10 weeks later

Ha I know, I was born there. Thats terrible though!

[Dodgyknees]

Absolutely crazy situation

[AValon]

Thats appalling. Really feel for the lad and hope they get it right, quickly.

[Risso]

Kozak trained after the operation with the fibula  still broken, it's done more damage because the bone hasn't 'fused' back together so it can heal.  He doesn't know when he will be back but hopes it won't be long.  The doctor involved wasn't the Villa club doctor, he holds no grudge against the club but he is now getting medical attention in Italy.    Quite frankly I'd be livid with the doctor if I were Villa.

Not so sure about that, what does this bit mean then:

"First of all, it was they who sent me to him."

[VillaForever1970]

Surely lambert must be to blame?!?!

I agree, clearly Lambert's fault.

[DCJonah]

Sounds bad. Feel for the guy.

Is it the sort of injury that will effect his physical ability on the pitch?

You'd think that would be nigh on impossible wouldn't you? The good doctors of the Queen Elizabeth hospital, however, managed to misdiagnose my broken hip as a pulled muscle after x-rays so it doesn't particularly shock me.

[foreveryoung]

How the feck did Clark break his leg so badly in training. This rarely happens on the pitch?? Must have been a Keane Special or something!!! 

 

I would be livid as a manager no wonder he dropped out of favour!!

Look up the difference between regular fractures (like Schumacher's) and compound fractures (like Kozak's) and you'll have your answer

[maqroll]

Embarrassing, and sums up the entire Villa operation over the last 5 years. Pathetic.

Just read the whole article.

 

Basically Kozak went to his doctor in Italy to get treated. Why did he do that? Well he had been with that doctor for years with lazio and trusted him. Villa agreed to this.

 

Initially everything was fine and it seemed like Kozak was on the right track to get back. He joined training with villa but experienced massive pains and this went on for months. The english doctors did not notice that he still had a broken fibula. Basically all summer Kozak was training on his own, then eventually with the team while having a broken fibula. 

 

Kozak even expressed his concerns multiple times to the doctor about the pain, but the doctors simply said it was normal for him to experience pain and never looked into it. After the broken bone was discovered, he immediately stopped using the doctors in england and went back to Italy.

 

He is on the right track to getting back. Apparently he expected to be able to start light training this month, but is unsure if he can actually play in any matches this season. 

 

Kozak fears a bit for his career which is understandable although Villa is completely behind Kozak. We want Kozak to return to the club and Kozak really wants to play for Aston Villa. Lambert apparently has really helped Kozak stay motivated and know that Kozak will be welcomed back. 

[smetrov]

Don't think any clubs employ there own surgeon though.

[ismail-villa]

Did you ask for a little growth in the pecker

[ismail-villa]

But on a serious note, that's terrible misfortune for Kozak. Training for months with a broken bone in your body is appalling, wish him all the best with his recovery.

[The_Rev]

I wonder what our insurance on him looks like.  Presumably we will be getting something considering it's entirely realistic he could end up missing almost two years of a four year contract with injury?   He broke his leg on January 2nd 2014, almost exactly a year ago.  It could be August 2015 before he is playing first team football again if he doesn't feature this season.  That is a hell of a lot of football to miss and I'd hope we are compensated for it financially on some level.  

 

**edit**

 

Hopefully an English news agency picks up on the interview and conducts their own too.

What a load of unnecessary rubbish. Have a day off the negative sauce.
