involved in a traffic accident over the weekend.
Unfortunately he will now be unavailable for an extended period of time.

Blimey. Massive good wishes to him and hopeful of a return to good health.

Apparently five broken ribs and a punctured lung. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

I've seen on social media the guy is running and keeping fit.

The guy must be a machine, and a looney.

Experience from when the world was in black and whites says that steady state running with broken ribs is not as bad as it sounds. If you go harder (and therefore have to expand the rib cage to breath deeper) it is somewhat different

Regardless, it is good to see that he is able to maintain fitness, although a return to playing matches probably needs to wait a few weeks
