Adam Chicksen Nightmare Injury

[MAD_MAGPIE]

Terrible news. Chicksen is one of the undeniable heroes that helped us get back league status. What a season he had that year. Hope this isn't as bad as it sounds and he can come back

I could not agree more. A true model professional in his entire time with the club. At the end of the season when he's coming out of contract it could not have happened at a worst possible time for him. Then factoring in his age being 34 in September hopefully he can have a good rehabilitation and come back from it. I wish him nothing but the best for a speedy recovery.

assume he wouldn't be offered another contract, hope we look after him medically if not financially

I'm sure we will, best of luck to the lad. You could never fault his effort.

I wish him all the best and one of our most consistent performers of recent times.

Should have been in our squad much better player than others who are in !!

Well, it put's a bit of perspective on things. I was devastated after Mondays lamentable defeat.

But a decent pro's career in jeopardy...

I wonder if they could do some kind of testimonial pre-season, think it would be well supported.

I was and it does, Chicks is one of the good guys.

Poor guy
Up to a year to recover from that type of injury but plenty of players have done it
I think the EFL requires clubs to look after the medical recovery and rehabilitation of injured players until they're ready to return to playing even if they're out of contract

[Chicken Balti Pie]

They've used the term "rupture". As far as I can determine a ruptured ACL is likely to be career ending. Not a nice way to finish for a likeable professional and servant in our NL seasons.

Ruptured ACL and torn ACL is treated in the same way, they basically rebuild the ligament and knee. With his age and contract status, it probably is sadly the end of his career sadly. Hopefully Notts stand by him and help him get better though, his service to the club has been exemplary

I would certainly support that idea!
