Have seen that Shaw has broken his ribs, but haven't seen any report of how long he is out for.

Can anyone shed some light on this? Would be a huge miss for the start of the season.

Accprodng to reports, he has played with broken ribs for a few games.

If you have ever broken, fractured, bruised your ribs, you won't be able to round a football pitch unless you are on some very strong pain relief.

Having cracked/ fractured my ribs before, I can tell you that it was very painful and hard to breathe at times.

Mad Hatter, "played with broken ribs for a few games" - where did you hear that one?

Forget about playing games you can't even move around freely.

The report states he broke his ribs in the Germany game at the Euro's. He then played against the Ukraine, Denmark and Italy in the final.

If true I'd imagine with a ridiculous amount of pain killers.

That said I also saw a video of him having a good time on holiday with Mount and Rice so I'm slightly skeptical about the report.

Bruised ribs seems more likely.

{Ed014's Note - he has plenty of padding to protect them so probably just bruised.

Did you see the two huge bowls of grub Shaw had in front of him?

LPU,

It was a report I saw which made me laugh. I bust my ribs playing football. I think the media are trying to make him into some sort of hero etc.

Mad Hatter, it's laughable indeed. Feel some of these media people can become great story writers for fiction.

Broken ribs in the media? No, Barbecue spare ribs, it was an auto correct error.

Ok didn't realise it was that much playing time. Obviously exagerated for the click bait. As others have said there's no way he could have played that much with a fracture. i have broken 2 ribs previously and it is the worst pain i have ever had, and I've broken my knee and neck.

Still i would expect he could be out for the start of the season.

Anyone who thinks that a broken rib is the worst pain has obviously never got their "old chap" caught in their zipper 😬.

Shappy, you have just exposed Phil Jones secret of staying injured 😊.

Wait until you experience gout, then decide.

Red Man,

A few decades yet for Shappy to experience that.
