[QUOTE="robbinho, post: 29745"] DOUBLE FRACTURE FOR UNFORTUNATE LIPMAN [img]http://www.bathrugby.com/images/resources/lipmaninjuryexe.jpg[/img] Bath Rugby flanker Michael Lipman faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines after sustaining a serious facial injury during his club’s 33-11 victory over Exeter Chiefs in a pre-season trial match on Saturday. The England international openside sustained the injury shortly after the interval at the County Ground and was taken to hospital for X rays on Saturday evening. A visit to a Bath specialist this morning confirmed that the player had sustained a double facial fracture. “Michael will be out for longer than originally anticipated,†said Bath Rugby’s Head of Sports Medicine Geoff Clark to [url]www.bathrugby.com[/url]. “He sustained a heavy blow to the face and has a double fracture of his Zygoma (cheekbone) and his eye socket. He has yet to undergo surgery because the swelling has to be left to recede, however at this early stage it is looking as though Michael will be out of action for between two and three months.†The injury is a bitter blow for a player who has worked so hard over the summer period to get back to peak fitness following a nasty ankle injury and Michael was looking forward to making a big impression in the Guinness Premiership this season for his club. Coach Mike Foley today praised Michael for his contribution over pre-season and expects the young openside to return in resolute mood. “We all feel desperately sorry for Lippy because he has trained so hard over the summer,†said Foley. “Michael is a quality player and I thought that both he and James Scaysbrook were a little hard done by not to be included in the EPS squad. However, I expect Michael to bounce back more determined than ever and show the England selectors what they are missing and we are all looking forward to that. The whole squad would like to wish him a speedy recovery.†____________- Cock! [/QUOTE]
