nicklas wont be the first and last player to pick up an injury after returning to the field of play, it happens in most sports, pointing fingers isn't going to help.

Gutted for Danny.Best wishes to him for a full and speedy recovery

Risk management obviously not a strong point for the FC staff then?
He'd already had an injury to the same leg (if that is deffo the case?), he's young so any further injury might ruin his career and as others have pointed out it was a friendly ('pointless' friendly I don't agree with). So at the first sign of a knock he should be off ASAP and stay off. Not to do so and to allow him to return to play on leaves the person/s making that decision culpable for the injury imho. At this stage of the season and the lads career you take no chances whatsoever.

Good luck lad, hope he gets full support both mentally & physically.

Bad news. Let's hope he makes a full recovery

Of all the other positions we could possibly have coped with and we get this news , Shame for the kid as he would have probably played a big part this season.

With time on his side Danny will be back stronger and pushing for a place again.

Terrible news for the kid, maybe a door opens for Williams?

Heard earlier that Nicklas has taken his old job back at Campbells engineering.

Its not a question of pointing fingers, whoever's decision it was, it was a bad call in a meaningless match and it could cost us dear.

It is worrying that its not the first time either.

Given Danny's recent past injury problems perhaps a more cautious approach would have been in order.

few on here are blaming the coaching staff and physios', which in my eyes is finger pointing, cruel as it may sound, would nicklas have been our answer to our problems at 6 and 7? i doubt it, nicklas will come back stronger next season, the club have said they will make sure he gets the best treatment

why would he do that when he is on a pro contact!!!!

the club will have him on a full rehab course.

How much physio can he do?

The company maybe offering the opportunity to complete his apprenticeship.

I had my ACL done not too long ago and i had 2 rehab sessions a week for 6 months, and was told that pro sports players are on a far more intense physio programme, regards going back on i did mine playing rugby and felt it pop so knew i had done something pretty bad! within half an hour my knee was doubled in size, the kid probably knew what he'd done but was telling himself it wasn't serious as he'll of wanted to impress! but from a physio point of view in a meaningless freindly it's shocking that he was allowed to go back on regardless of what he said himself!

Need look no further than Rich Whiting as a role model in how to deal with these setbacks, at least.

How far does statutory sick pay go?

Come on here from time to time and didnt read the thread just assuming you were looking at him to play a big part of your season. Having read tonights mail I rolled my eyes. I dont have any time for FC but baby jesus someone at the club must walk under ladders or step on black cats! Yet again a talented youngster out for the season and I reckon would have been busy playing quite a few games.
Hope he recovers quickly.

ive been at the kc tonight for a doo and had the pleasure of having nicklas on the same table,realy feel for the guy he is totally gutted as he said what a great pre season hes had and how hard he has trained,he realy thought this was his year to break into the team,hoping to have his op this week if the swelling goes down then the hard work of getting into rehab,he did say if all goes well he could be back for the back end of the season.

good luck with the op.

It appears we have form in that sort of behaviour too. Remember Horney's neck injury?

I wouldn't want to see him back, by that point in the season either we'll have signed someone, someone will have "stepped up to the mark" or the season will be gone, in any of those circumstances the risk isn't worth it, the lad has a good ten years in him if he starts the 2012 season.

Sounding positive, even after his set back. Good on him, hope the rehab goes well. www.thisishullandeastriding.co.u ... ticle.html?

Are you on commision to mention his name?

Thats exactly what i said when i was chatting to nicklas the other night,use whiting as a positive.

and did Danny reply with 'no matter how many serious injuries i get i'll never run that slow'

No, he couldn't bring himself to be that boring...
