Arsenal's Cristhian Mosquera sustained an inversion ankle injury during mid-week game against Brentford.

Following scans, they suspect he was be sidelined for a minimal 6-8 weeks.

Through this time, Cristhian will commence an intense physiotherapy led program specific to soccer which will get hopefully get him back on the field at optimal health.

Without correct rehabilitation, ankle sprains can become recurrent and cause longer-term issues such as chronic instability.

Adam Fox has been placed on the Long Term Injury Reserve for the New York Raiders after a contact injury over the weekend.

He was hit into the end boards by Brandon Hagel and left the ice cradling his left arm. Being put on the long term injury list requires him to miss at least 10 games- indicating a serious injury.

With the Raiders making the call so quickly indicates to me he may have a fractured collarbone or similar. No word yet on surgery, but he'll need to get fit and strong to return to the combat of ice hockey safely and confidently.

Let's hope they can get their best player back ASAP.

Tendon injuries frustrate patients and physios alike.

This is partly because tendon pain is so different to other injuries. Pain alone is not an accurate indicator of tendon health and injury healing.

Esteemed physio researcher Ebony Rio and colleagues have published this paper that highlights that in patients with achilles injuries there are differences between:
💠 Where patients explain their pain is,
💠 Where patients feel pain with activity,
💠 Where patients are sore to touch, and
💠 Where scans show structural changes.

A good understanding of the complexity of tendon pain and tendon health is required for good tendon rehab outcomes.

Josh Hazlewood’s hammy scare… and why fans are worried 🏏💥

Hazlewood was ruled out of the Perth Test. What about Brisbane?
Follow-up scans confirmed a hamstring strain — despite initial imaging showing no muscle injury. Early scans can sometimes underestimate low-grade strains, which is why monitoring symptoms and physical assessments are crucial.

There are also whispers of possible tendon involvement, which would significantly extend his recovery and put his Ashes summer at risk.

Fast bowlers place huge stress on the hamstrings, so even “low-grade” injuries can be tricky. If tendon involvement is confirmed, Hazlewood could be sidelined longer than hoped — but with structured rehab, a strong return is absolutely achievable.

Zac has discovered an article focusing on Osgood-Schlatter disease, a common overuse injury affecting the knee in children and adolescents, particularly those involved in sports.

The article provides valuable insight into how physiotherapists can play a key role in managing this condition through targeted interventions. It highlights strategies such as activity modification, strengthening exercises, stretching programs, and education to reduce pain and support recovery during this crucial growth period.
