God I hope not, but Liz Costa is not a refutable source

She went to embrace him and he was not prepared. 8 months is optimistic.

Really hope not. Seems a bit early to get a diagnosis like that without scans etc though

Torn Achilles I heard. Not good, wish him well.

Ouch, if so I think that might have been the last time we saw him in an Albion shirt- I presume we will have at least a couple of centre backs of a higher standard than him by the time he returns.

I heard it was a snapped achilles rather than torn.

I friend of mine snapped hers playing tennis and was out for over a year, even with the advanced care a footballer gets he might not be fit to play until the back end of next season if this is correct

Thought that he had one of his better games today and looked a lot more comfortable on the ball than he has with no big hoofs....Perhaps Gus is getting through to him.

Liz Costa is a trained medical profession, she can also carry out a highly detailed scan just with her eyes, don't diss the Liz.
With achilles tendon depends on the level of tear and treatment plan. If surgical intervention, 9 weeks in plaster approx plus 3 months rehab. If 'natural' repair (let the ends grow back together), 4 - 6 months. All depends on the nature of injury of course, personally would go for surgery.

This is a massive blow for Tommy. Even with him fit, I expected Gus to go out and add a Championship-experience centre half. Now, he might have to bring in a couple. The next 8 months could see Dunk progress as well ..... 8 months time, Tommy could come back, looking at being battling with Dunk for FIFTH or SIXTH choice. I felt this was a big off season for Tommy, needing to elevate himself in the same way as El-Abd did about a year ago. Nightmare.

Primary data is fact
Isn't he out of contract at the end of next month?

I spoke to Tommy today and it is definitely his achilles tendon. He's having his operation tomorrow and will be out for at least 6 months.

Well, when he was on the bus, I shouted up at him 'How's your leg, Tom?' and he did that 'see-saw' of the hand like the monster in the 'Chewits' ad - pretty definitive, I'd say? [0:13]
