Daniel Agger

[Cleo]

As a Dane I'm really embarrassed about having to ask this question but...
Where is Daniel Agger??
I've been away on holiday for the last three weeks so I haven't been able to follow our preseason closely but I still seem to have spotted that he hasn't taken part in any of the friendlies?!?!

[kurtangle01]

i've been thinking the same thing myself.

injured, again!?

or simply not rated as highly as first thought?

[TheStig]

When others have asked this question (on KT) the response has always been that he's injured. We haven't been told anything about it though.

[anfieldanfield]

Injured.

[Cleo]

Injured.

Thanks for the replies...
He took part in the U21 European Championships and now I seem to remember something about him not being fully fit but still making himself avaliable for selection at LFC at the end of the season because he wanted to play and show his worth
It's been discussed a lot of times but it's gonna be really interesting to see how Rafa's going to use Carragher, Hyypia, Paletta and Agger this season

with tonights defensive display under our belts i'm sure rafa has a lot to tink about in regards to the defence!

[Jan-Erik]

According to Liverpool.no, Agger has been injured, but is now back in training. Before today's game, they even suggested he might get a few minutes on the pitch.

[Cleo]

Yeah - it looks that way :shake:

By the way - regarding your first post and the rating of him...
Perhaps he's fallen down the pecking order but that can only be due to all his injuries.
Having seen him in the Danish league and on our national team I still really pleased that we got him and I have all the confidence in the world that he'll come good - he's got the right attitude, is humble and wants to win!!!

And by the way - I haven't seen Paletta play one minute of football yet but the positive reviews of his start has actually made the summer for me.
First Momo, then Gonzalez and now him - hopefully we're back on track in regards to finding young talent

i rate agger highly, the little i've seen of him, and palleta has looked equally as good when i've seen him.

[Cleo]

Is he fast? - that gift would bring a whole new dimension to our defense...

[Jan-Erik]

Paletta has looked good, but has done a couple of bad mistakes. Agger has also done good, and that's been in league games. Looking forward to see Paletta in the PL.

[Jan-Erik]

Paletta is pretty fast. And a great tackler.

[kurtangle01]

Is he fast? - that gift would bring a whole new dimension to our defense...

no he's not fast. he reminds me of sami. takes up good positions and reads the game well.

[Cleo]

Paletta is pretty fast. And a great tackler.

I knew about the last thing - heard that he almost broke a Crewe player in two with a tackle during the friendly.
I really hope he gets to play against Robben - that little cheat deserves to get hurt after all his theatrical diving!!!

[Jan-Erik]

no he's not fast. he reminds me of sami. takes up good positions and reads the game well.

From what I've seen, he looks like he's got ok pace. I wouldnt say his pace is one of his better attributes, but he's not slow. Or?

to be fair he could be quick but perhaps i haven't noticed yet!:oh:

[Cleo]

to be fair he could be quick but perhaps i haven't noticed yet!:oh:

Well discussion of pace is difficult since it's always an subjective view.
And to quote Carlos Gamarra - the veteran Paraguayan defender:

"Being quick is not a question of running faster, it's a matter of getting there first. And that depends on where are you positioned"

that's very true mate. he does remind me of hyppia though in terms of movement etc...

Well lets just say he's not slow but not quick either.

[Ste M]

I can't really add too much, bar agreeing with others in saying that he is apparently injured. Again. He was in the stands against Grasshoppers though, so he is still alive.

[FowlerLeftFoot]

Wow lucky you to have picked the right time for a holiday, and you havent missed anything!

Isn't shin splints were the muscle detaches itself from the shin bone and is really painful when you run?

[kurtangle01]

yeah i think that's right. by all accounts it can be hard to cure and can take months and months of physiotherapy and other forms of treatment to cure. although i'm not sure it van be cured completely.

[FowlerLeftFoot]

Shin splints refers to pain in the anterior and medial areas of the lower leg. It is any pain below the knee, above the ankle, other than in the calf.

not sure if its as ugly as muscle detaches from the bone as u said it!! :D

What are shin splints?

Shin splints are injuries to the front of the outer leg. While the exact injury is not known, shin splints seem to result from inflammation from injury to the tendon (posterior peroneal tendon) and adjacent tissues in the front of the outer leg.

Shin splints represent one member of a group of injuries called "overuse injuries." Shin splints occur most commonly in runners or aggressive walkers.

What are the symptoms of shin splints?

Shin splints cause pain in the front of the outer leg below the knee. The pain of shin splints is characteristically located on the outer edge of the mid region of the leg next to the shin bone (tibia). An area of discomfort measuring 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) in length is frequently present. Pain is often noted at the early portion of the workout, then lessens only to reappear near the end of the training session. Shin splint discomfort is often described as dull at first. However, with continuing trauma, the pain can become so extreme as to cause the athlete to stop workouts altogether.

What causes shin splints?

A primary culprit causing shin splints is a sudden increase in distance or intensity of a workout schedule. This increase in muscle work can be associated with inflammation of the lower leg muscles, those muscles used in lifting the foot (the motion during which the foot pivots toward the tibia). Such a situation can be aggravated by a tendency to pronate the foot (roll it excessively inward onto the arch).

Similarly, a tight Achilles tendon or weak ankle muscles are also often implicated in the development of shin splints.

How is the are shin splints diagnosed?

The diagnosis of shin splints is usually made during examination. It depends upon a careful review of the patient's history and a focused physical exam (an exam focused on the shins and legs where local tenderness is noted).

Specialized (and costly) tests (e.g., bone scans) are generally only necessary if the diagnosis is unclear. Radiology tests, such as x-rays, bone scan or MRI scan, in this setting can be helpful to detect stress fracture of the tibia bone

How were shin splints treated?

Previously, two different treatment management strategies were used: total rest or a "run through it" approach. The total rest was often an unacceptable option to the athlete. The "run through it" approach was even worse. It often led to worsening of the injury and of the symptoms.

Currently, a multifaceted approach of "relative rest" is successfully utilized to restore the athlete to a pain-free level of competition.

What is the multifaceted "relative rest" approach?

This multifaceted approach includes:

Workouts such as stationary bicycling or pool running - these will allow maintenance of cardiovascular fitness.
Icing - to reduce inflammation.
Anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen (Advil/Motrin); naproxen (Aleve/Naprosyn) - are also a central part of rehabilitation.
A 4-inch wide Ace bandage wrapped around the region - to also help reduce discomfort.
Calf and anterior (front of) leg stretching and strengthening - to address the biomechanical problems discussed above and reduce pain.
Careful attention to selecting the correct running shoe based upon the foot type (flexible pronator vs. rigid supinator) - this is extremely important. In selected cases shoe inserts (orthotics) may be necessary.
Stretching and strengthening exercises are done twice a day.
Running - only when symptoms have generally resolved (often about 2 weeks), AND with several restrictions:
A level and soft terrain is best.
Distance is limited to 50% of that tolerated preinjury.
Intensity (pace) is similarly cut by one half.
Over a 3-6 week period, a gradual increase in distance is allowed.
Only then can a gradual increase in pace be attempted.
Caveat!

The amount of injury that occurs prior to any rehabilitation program plays a significant role in determining the time frame necessary for complete recovery.

Shin Splints At A Glance
Shin splints are a type of "overuse injury" to the legs.
The pain is characteristic and located on the outer edge of the mid region of the leg next to the shin bone (tibia). It can be extreme and halt workouts.
The diagnosis requires a careful focused examination.
A multifaceted approach of "relative rest" can restore a pain- free level of activity and a return to competition.
The "relative rest" approach includes a change in the workout, ice, rest, antiinflammation medications, stretching exercises, possible change in footwear, and gradual increase in running activities.

Hope this Helps ;)

She's the only one I rate out of the lot. We really do need to get some prettier ladies in our Ladies team, otherwise how can we fellows take the sport seriously?

Back to the subject (ish) though, I get shin splints and they are bloody painful, especially if you run on concrete. The pain goes all up the front of my shins and starts to feel like the bones are splitting in half length-wise. No way would I like to be a footballer with the condition, so I hope they can sort Agger out.

[ronan]

shin splints are a fucker to get rid of, i missed nearly a whole season with them one year when i was younger.turned out to be the fucking boots the club had bought us were doing the damage
its like having somebody constantly kicking you in the shins with each step you take

[Cleo]

Wow - I've just returned and wanted to see if anyone knew anything about the shin splints and I'm really impressed about the knowledge and the will to dig deep in order to find medical explanations in here...

I have just started to get shin splints as I run on the running machine at my gym but have changed my trainers and they seem better. The doctor told me to rest but I ignored her.

[sh#t waffle]

Was it shin splints that ended Rob Jones' career?

yes it was, sad loss.....fantastic player.

[SouthAfricaRed]

No it wasn't. He had Back problems and eventually an injury to his Left Knee Ended his Career.

I agree Trigger was a Very Good Player. Sad that he never got to Fulfill his potential

[Shaggy]

I'm starting to get a little bit worried about Agger. Banter-wise, I could be "for it".

A Bluenose I've known for years (won't call him a mate, he is a tit) took a good going over from me over the 'Kroldrup affair', with Moyes on the receiving end of most of my mocking.

Naturally, he's now starting to fire back at me that "Agger is the new Kroldrup". I hope I didn't taunt too soon. :o

[rebel23]

I think Agger picked up an injury when playing for the Danes in the u21 tournament in May ?? I think that could be why he's been injured for like 12 weeks or so, I think he'll be back soon, we need cover

nothing on physioroom.com when i last looked though

[univofchicago]

Agger has shin splints apparently and they are meant to be a fucker to cure.

It is an ankle injury:

"Daniel Agger, who has missed all of Liverpool's friendlies with an ankle injury, may be given a run-out while Fabio Aurelio has a calf strain and Robbie Fowler hopes to covercome a minor knee problem."

(Liverpool Daily Post)
