Probably worsened the injury then.
He will be back mid march latest with a cast.
He's not the only one saying it's far more serious. What makes him a "dweeb"? He's actually at Hotspur Way right now.
What makes this injury more difficult to get back onto the pitch than a break to fib or tib is you can't wear a cast as Dele or Son (Vardy) have done so previously. If it's your elbow it has to be completely mended before you can play.
Well, let's start with letting Llorente leave. I mean WHY? What did we win from letting him go (except for few saved euros?) Right now with Mou playing style he'd fit in like hand into glove!!
It's necessarily "serious" in the sense of the extent of the damage but the amount of time he could possibly miss regarding how long his recovery takes.
Funny thing is half the 'doom and gloom' whiners who have all resurfaced now Son is injured, are the same cunts who were calling for him to be dropped for playing poorly ... needs to be dropped now we're fucked because he's injured ... make your minds up what you're whining about.
We'll survive without Kane, Sissoko and Son we still have Dele, Lamela, Lucas, Bergwijn, Sessegnon, LoCelso all capable goalscorers .... time to show we're not a1, 2, or 3 man team COYS

So it's impossible that he could be out for that long? Or is saying "up to 8 weeks" actually quite possible?
Obviously nobody knows for sure. Nobody could know. But equally, nobody is claiming that they do know categorically, so don't get your knickers in a twist.
It's like that EVERY day Spurs are training, there will be a similar number directly across the road where that building is standing in the driveway and then double this number again towards the traffic lights on for the A10 junction. It's incredible.

who are you? disagreeing with Sess to step up? A Left Forward.. what would you suggest?
The club statement opens by saying he is to undergo surgery this week, he is flying to Korea for the operation.
Not altogether true, it's one of the easier joints to pin, if you feel your elbow you will see there's not much to get in the way of surgery ... it just depends where the break is as the elbow has three bones. An inch either way can make weeks of difference to healing. Guessing he's having ORIF surgery, you wouldn't normally do that unless it was a severe break but the fact he played on for 93 minutes must surely rule that out.
A pinned bone can heal well enough to be strapped tight in three to four weeks, eight weeks is pretty much the maximum without complications ... all speculation but let's try and be optimistic.

I’ve never suffered a broken arm but I assume it hurts a lot and it takes a lot of mental strength to play on with it.
Kind of amazed he didn’t ask to be subbed.
Why do you think he's flying to Korea? is that in any press release? seems barmy but maybe he has a favourite surgeon?
