superbrad Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Bad News.... BOCHUM, Germany -- Christine Sinclair may be unable to play in Canada's next game at the FIFA Women's World Cup. The team captain was unable to participate in Tuesday's practice and is unsure if she'll be cleared to face France on Thursday. Sinclair had her nose broken during Canada's opening 2-1 loss to Germany. She was later fitted for a protective mask but says she won't be cleared to start running again until the pain goes away. With the top two teams in each group moving on, Canada needs at least a draw against France to keep its hopes alive. http://www.tsn.ca/soccer/story/?id=370259 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKottonmouthed1555362307 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 We need CS out there against them french, she's the heart and soul of our entire national program, (including the men). We desperately need a point and that means we desperately need Sinclair out there dominating up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canfan22 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 She will play. At worst she may not start to see how it goes but I would be very surprised if she didn't play. Practice is one thing. The game is completely different. At this point, the practices are just to repair mistakes and smooth tactics over a little bit; and getting the subs good workouts. She does not need to actively participate in those to play in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtlfan Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Yes I agree she will play in pain and the I expect the French to slap at the nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachRich Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I hoping this doesn't come down to a question of insurance coverage not covering a pro player for a possible career ending injury. Anyone know to what extent the CSA insurance policy covers the amateur and pro players on the WNT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vic Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 After a similar injury I was told the nose was soft tissue and the real concern and damage was past the bridge. If Sinclair is down we have a great bench with options ranging from playmaking to finishing to speed/power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachRich Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 It's how it is diagnosed and then treated. If not treated right or missed it could be worse and get worse over the long term......NHL good example. A broken nose typically hurts, bleeds and swells. Signs and symptoms of a broken nose may appear immediately or they may take up to three days to show, according to the Mayo Clinic http://www.livestrong.com/article/92982-broken-nose-signs-symptoms/#ixzz1QbyYFODa Concussion — A temporary disturbance of brain function resulting from a fall or blow that jars the brain within the skull, also called mild traumatic brain injury. http://mayoresearch.mayo.edu/mayo/research/tbims/upload/ubi_families.pdf Connecticut Teen Suffers Post-Concussion Syndrome for 2 Years http://www.sportsconcussions.org/feature-stories-Joe-Bonitatebus-CT-concussion-bill-cocoon-therapy.html Bruins' Bergeron has broken nose, concussion after hit from behind http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=3082644 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripleA Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Not having her play would be a big loss but there's other options up front who can score. It might end up being Filigno's big breakout game. A tie should be enough to secure us a spot in the next round assuming Sinclair is back against Nigeria and we win by a fair amount in that game.

Guest Ed Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Having had my beak rearranged by a hockey stick years ago, I think she should be fine. The blow was only to the nose and the elbow was not full on but rather from the side. Doubt very much she has concussion problems and the pain isn't that bad.

terpfan68 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I don't see the French players "letting up" while playing against Sinclair but will they "target" her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alberta white Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Actually with such a conspicuos injury it will be hard for her to be "A Target", without the refs attention been drawn to it. First few bustling runs that earn a whistle may see the french backing off, allowing her to play a free flowing game. (Hush Myself! I sound like a pundit!)
