Would you be able to do a video about the Taiwo Awoniyi in the EPL last weekend? I'd love to understand how there could have been a situation where a player was deemed OK to continue playing the match, but then 4 days later is in a medically induced coma in hospital.

The pain of an Achilles snap isn&#39;t that bad. But the recovery time sucks. Had a friend do it twice (each leg!) and he said both times it felt like someone kicked him in the heel... Not that bad. But the lengthy recovery was what was particularly bad (and post surgery pain was awful.)

This is easily one of the craziest injuries it can happen to anyone at anytime, literally on the same play OG Anunoby made the same exact foot plant in attempt to get the loose ball.

What’s up with so many of these Achilles injuries over the past few short years. I never recall such frequency in the decades before the late 2010’s.

Anyone have any detailed recommendations on what hoopers can do to prevent Achilles Ruptures other than intensive warm ups, consistent calf stretches, longer recovery between games?

Tatum with an achilles and Cabrera with a brutal ankle fracture on the same night. Injuries suck.

Is this something that he would&#39;ve felt prior, Like super tight in that area or does it just go with no warning?

I wish you’d talk about how long he’ll take to heal and how the recovery process is like. I’m curious as to why Aquilles ruptures take so long to heal.

Shame for Tatum. <br><br>Doc would be interested to hear your thoughts on the Taiwo Awonyi incident where he collided with the goal post. And in the last few hours it has been revealed that he has been put in an intensive care and put in an induced coma with what has been described as a severe abdominal injury.
