speaking out of experience unfortunately. although i have to admit i never had quite such a nasty flesh wound...

Flesh wounds as big as those can actually take a while to recover, Gillet had one a few years ago and he was out for quite a while

well of course it takes time, just saying it looks worse than it is...



was back in training after just 17 days, played the next match for his club just 4 weeks after the injury...

Didn't Rooney have a flesh wound last season and he was out about 2 months?

ummm i think he was also just out for about 4 weeks but i'm not sure of it...

yup, you're right, he was out a month.

Depends on the player I guess

4 weeks is still severe.

with injuries like this, there is also risk of infection.

Thanks Dr. Chan
