Craig Evans (Norwood)

Not a good report from the NFC, - I am guessing it will be 12 months, maybe more to recover, whilst I am no medical expert I know that in body building a ligament torn from the bone can put you out of training for a long time. Hopefully it all works out for the lad, clearly he is not going to retire and will give it another go.

Via the Norwood FC,

"The worst possible outcome has been confirmed for midfielder Craig Evans, with the 26 year old tearing both his ACL and his Medial Ligaments on Friday night against Central Districts. It is hugely disappointing for both player and club with Craig displaying some of his best football in the past month. We wish Craig all the best in his recovery".

i must have dreamt this as i thought i'd read this in the last week or so, all the best to Craig in his recovery

Certainly rotten luck for Evo. He gave excellent service to Sturt, Came right through from the junior grades, and was a good lad around the club as well. I wish him a full recovery.

I did my knee, playing basketball, and had the same outcome as Craig, with both the ACL (mine snapped) and medial tear (5cm in mine) and it took me a good 18 months to get it right again and even still, I have regular problems with it seizing up on me. Good luck in your recovery, Evo...
