Reading the Walcott statement, “Expected to be out for at least six months,
therefore missing the remainder of the season and the World
Cup in Brazil in the summer”, it feels more like a corporate
earnings statement than a detailed medical briefing.
In this instance there is no mention of whose prognosis this is. Is it from
the manager, the CEO, the club doctor or the surgeon? It is definitely not
from the player.
As I am often told, Medicine is not a science, but a practice based on
sciences, acting in a world of values. In short, nothing is certain but also
the power of recovery depends on the approach and mindset.
So for Walcott, the chance to play in Manaus on June 14 could still be alive
but we do not know enough yet to dismiss or accept this premise. Certainly
it needs a more open mindset though from the tone of the club’s statement to
get him there.
