there is 3 hamstring muscles, its not a single muscle. but if a strain is in either 3 of them it would still sideline him for a couple of weeks regardless which muscle is hurt. you have the bicept femoris which is the largest, then you have the semimembranosis and semitendonosis, they are smaller and more medial.
Learn something new every day. Thank you and also for the others that clarified. I really dont understand that something ‘showed up’ on the scan but now he’s fine. Can it really heal that fast, its been 4 days.
Multiple sources say a Grade 1 strain can take anywhere from 2 days to 3 weeks to recover from - it just depends on how severe the strain is. Also, some people are more diligent with rehab than others. I’m sure if Fantasia got this injury, we wouldn’t see him for six weeks.
No really surprised by that.
Wouldnt trust anything from this guy.
when a knee gets knocked it ussaly results in hyperextension, we havent seen the footage so we cant determine the degree of impact on George's knee, if it was low impact a knee hyperextion wouldnt occur or a very mlid one which would result in minor strain to internal ligaments (pcl and possibly oblique poplitial ligament) and possibly a knee sprain, if the impact was heavy the ligament behind the knee caled the pcl could of got damaged. hard to tell tho hopefully just a knee sprain.
Sounds like he’ll be fit for Geelong game
Man who said Rozee was absolutely no risk of breaking down says MG injury only a minor bruising.
Good news about Georgiades, the lad deserves some good luck for a change.Injury report: Rozee, Georgiades and Jones assessed
Connor Rozee, Mitch Georgiades and Lachie Jones have all been medically assessed after Showdown LV.www.portadelaidefc.com.au
CONNOR ROZEE, Mitch Georgiades and Lachie Jones have all been medically assessed following Thursday night's Showdown.
Rozee was subbed out of the game with hamstring tightness at three-quarter time, with scans on Friday showing a similar injury to the same part of the hamstring as last weekend.
The Port Adelaide captain became aware of the issue under fatigue late in the game when he was unable to access his normal power and speed.
Georgiades sustained bruising to his knee but has been cleared of any structural damage, while Jones has suffered a low-grade hamstring strain.
Rozee will miss next Friday's Geelong clash, while Jones will be re-assessed on Monday but is likely to miss Round 9, given his injury history.
Georgiades will have his knee re-assessed early next week.
Agreed, I too have little faith in any injury diagnosis currently emanating from Alberton, eg if they play Georgiades too soon after his `bone bruising' there unfortunately has to be a chance of it developing into something much more serious.
