What people said
Hurt it playing futsal in the gym
Sole of my foot hurt for like 3 months
Isn't that just inflammation?
A real tear is worse than pain — you can't even walk
Not enough physicality
They never slack off even in practice
Just overwork themselves
He's clearly been overusing the guy
just got hit with reality — he can't even handle a step up from Ligue 1
Why doesn't he ever learn
Let's just leave the Asian Cup to Tanimura
Can't tell if it's minor or serious
It's a tear in the arch of the foot.
You can't even walk at first, and starting rehab probably isn't possible until he's recovered quite a bit.
It's not uncommon for full recovery to take six months to over a year. Specialized treatments like extracorporeal shockwave therapy, PRP therapy, and in some cases surgery may need to be considered.
Even if he comes back, this seems like the type of injury that could recur lol
He's on the Tomiyasu track (Tomiyasu Takehiro, known for chronic recurring injuries)
He's in his 30s too, so maybe this is the beginning of the end
Guess his peak is over
Kubo's been pretty much nothing since he got hurt at the World Cup too
None of them can replace him
Maybe that was his last shining moment
Background and Talking Points
A torn plantar fascia is a relatively rare injury involving a rupture of the tendon-like tissue that supports the arch of the foot, and in some cases it can make walking itself difficult; full recovery is said to sometimes take six months to over a year. Unlike sprains or muscle strains, it’s an area even players themselves rarely have experience with, which is why some in the thread said they “can’t tell if it’s mild or serious.” The manager who spoke at the press conference, Davide Ancelotti, is the son of legendary coach Carlo Ancelotti and the current Lille manager. Since Ueda was injured while racking up goals and raising his stock in this season’s Champions League, the thread also brought up possible replacements for Japan’s starting striker spot (names like Ogawa, Machino, Goto, and Shiogai came up). That said, the severity of the injury and his return timeline haven’t been officially confirmed yet, so it’s worth noting that a tear doesn’t automatically mean a guaranteed year on the sidelines.
