Would they have taken the poor goalie to? Can’t imagine he’d be at the county sitting on a gurney
What’s the protocol , Nuffield on alert for match days??

Trauma is the Royal Sussex.
Private hospitals in Sussex are for elective surgeries only.

I’d have thought the County, that kind of injury would have been given priority no matter where they went, it was horrendous. Not sure the Nuffield know how to deal with emergencies.

Thought so, what happens regarding precedence, can’t imagine they’ll keep him waiting like the rest of us mere mortals[emoji23]

Especially with A&E packed with all the Saturday afternoon local football and rugby injuries.
I wonder if they give him a room for a bit of privacy from prying eyes, and for his security guy/s?

And what a treat for the nurses on duty - not every day you get to undress a Premier League footballer!

Assessed and treated at A&E and moved to a private hospital for the operation probably in London somewhere with Spurs surgeon of choice

Rushed in to A&E and a sweet nurse tries to calm him down, relax him whilst he's in pain. She looks him up and down, him dressed in that comedy kit, and says "what do you do for a living?"
Lloris: " Urrghh. Where...where am I?"
Doctor: "Try not to worry. You're in the County."
Lloris."F'sake. I was still in the Premier League when I went up for that cross."

Feel a lot of sympathy for Lloris, having suffered what appeared to be the same injury myself - snapping the elbow back to 90 degrees in the wrong direction - in my case on a cold February evening on a bone-hard pitch in Edinburgh. In my case, I wasn't so lucky - it was a council pitch, so the caretaker had locked the changing rooms after kick off, only returning just before full time. So I had over an hour to sit on a cold concrete step outside the door.
When the game ended, I was able with difficulty to change my bottom half, but no way could I get my shirt off. Fortunately, one of my team mates agreed to drive me to A and E - less fortunately he couldn't manage to f=get all the way there before he stopped off for a pint in his favourite (and very crowded pub full of jostling people. Eventually I got to A and E, and about tree hours after the accident I got my first paracetomol, or whatever sort of pain-killer it was they gave me.
Then they yanked my shirt off over my head. At this point I admit I finally did let out a little yelp. Guess we were tougher back in 1974.......!

I'm not usually squeamish, but just thinking how much pain he would have been in made me wince as I watched the replay.
