Administrator Stan Posted August 26, 2018 Administrator Posted August 26, 2018 Never nice to hear of this happening. Heard he went off in a neck-brace yesterday but didn't know the extent of the injury as sometimes it's precautionary. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45314844 Quote Everton defender Michael Keane suffered a hairline fracture of his skull during Saturday's draw at Bournemouth. The England centre-back clashed heads with team-mate Idrissa Gueye in injury time and was taken to hospital after six minutes of treatment on the pitch. "Michael Keane has sustained a small hairline fracture of the skull but suffered no other complications," said an Everton statement. Keane, 25, said he must avoid head contact for three to four weeks. The defender had earlier scored to put the Toffees 2-0 up in their Premier League match at the Vitality Stadium, before the Cherries fought back to earn a point. "I will be back with my team and back on the pitch as soon as I can," Keane posted on social media on Sunday. "I'm OK but suffered a small hairline fracture of the skull, which will heal itself." Hope he makes a full recovery. Hope he can come back properly as injuries like that can have a severe psychological effect. Good luck to him.
Dave Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 I hope he takes as much time off as he needs. It would be tragic to see his career end in a similar fashion to Ryan Mason's.
Dr. Gonzo Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 I hope he’s alright in the long run and makes a full recovery. Sad stuff.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted August 26, 2018 Subscriber Posted August 26, 2018 I'm sure he'll be fine. No reason to believe otherwise as long as he doesn't go psycho and come back too early.
