Shandon Baptiste

[MG]

Anterior cruciate ligament - 8-10 months (conservative estimate) before he returns to training. https://www.oufc.co.uk/news/2019/january/shandon-baptiste-injury/

Terrible news for the lad, wish Shandon Baptiste all the best

 

[Marked Ox]

Awful news. All the best Shandon, I hope you recover fully.

 

[Paul Cannell]

Terrible. Good luck kid, come back.

 

[Oufc28]

Absolutely heartbreaking for the lad. Fingers crossed for a full recovery.

 

[Big Ronaldo]

That’s a bad one at such an early age too. Really sorry to hear this.

This is terrible news. Get well soon Shandon, we care for you and please keep up the twitter announcements as we, as Oxford Utd supporters will support you in your journey to recovery.

 

[ZeroTheHero]

Ouch. That is awful for him. He looked like his old self in the ten minutes he played on Saturday

All the best to him and here's hoping his recovery goes well.

 

[greatunclekip]

Best wishes with recovery Shandon

 

[outsidethebox]

Very bad news. Take your time Shandon. Never pays to rush this type of injury.

Any news on the other two scans?

 

[arthurturner]

Feel for you Shandon. Had the same injury myself years back skiing. Good surgery and you'll come back stronger.

 

[Ricey]

Terrible news obviously and hope he makes a full physical recovery. I also fear how this time out of the game also impacts his development as he is still learning the game!!

Fingers crossed he returns stronger and better than ever!!!

 

[Peterdev]

Thinking of you. Recovery process begins now and you will return stronger than ever

 

[Teddydee1980]

Say what you like about KR...his players have had awful injury luck.

 

[m]

Dreadful news.

Best of luck to the lad, may he come back stronger.

 

[Leysboy]

Terrible shame. Wish him a speedy recovery! I’m sure he will bounce back. It’s just a shame it will probably be September at the earliest.

 

[Oufcrealist]

Gutted for him. He looked the best player on the pitch for 10 minutes. Hope we see him again before the end of the year and this won't affect him long term.

 

[yellowbow]

Get well soon Shandon and come back strong. One of the few bright shining lights this season.

 

[Victor1986]

Speedy recovery Shandon - you still have a very promising career ahead of you.

 

[BigCrompy]

Absolutely unprecedented that one young lad could become my favourite player in two short months of an otherwise miserable league season. His energy and buzz was part of the reason I was confident the second half of the year would be infinitely better than the first, and the drop would be beaten by March. Now - not so sure.

GWS Shandon and make next season yours - we're 100% behind you.

 

[Gary Baldi]

I hope it's just the ACL and not the LCL as well. Good luck to the lad - it will be a tough road but having Obika further along in his treatment will at least give him a player to lean on.

 

[Sarge]

Good luck and get fit quick shandon

 

[rambler]

Good luck in your recovery Shannon, wish you the very best of luck.

 

[BigAlan]

Had the exact same injury as a previous poster stated from skiing as well, I was in my late 30’s and it’s been spot on ever since so Shannon should be better equipped being younger. Take your time young man.

 

[tonto]

Good luck Shandon the only bright spark of the season so far

 

[Oxfordpete]

Terrible news but come back stronger, all the best, you have the support of all Oxford fans

 

[makv]

Awful, but sadly expected, news. I’ve loved watching him this season, and he was a breath of fresh air in the time he was on against Brentford.

“He’s one of our own…”

 

[Foley]

Good luck Shandon the only bright spark of the season so far

He has been excellent but only bright spark?
Really? Hasn't Whyte been fantastic for his first season in full time football? Browne at times has been a joy to watch and Eastwood has hardly been rubbish!!

 

[tonto]

No you are right Whyte has been great as has eastwood. Hopefully sykes will also flourish

It sounds good news and he may be back playing in September.
