Young Magpie Sees Specialist As Concussion Symptoms Continue



Lucas de Bolle has still made just one appearance for Hamilton during his loan spell. The midfielder continues to suffer from blurred vision after sustaining a concussion with the Newcastle U21s before his loan move in August.

The symptoms cleared up allowing for his debut against Queens Park on September 17th. De Bolle came on as a second-half substitute for a 20-minute run-out in the 2-0 defeat.

The 20-year-old then linked up with the Scotland U21s for the September international break. It was during this period that Lucas’s blurred vision returned. He hasn’t been available for Hamilton since.

Things were looking up late last month as De Bolle was reportedly close to a return to training. However, he’s gone to see a specialist in London this week according to a report in The Daily Record. Thankfully, a recent scan has not revealed any serious issues.

Accies boss John Rankin provided the following on de Bolle’s scan:

“Lucas got an MRI scan on Tuesday. It is something with his vestibula system and the ear sending messages to the brain. That is the explanation I have.

“He is a lot more comfortable with that now than he was before.

“Hopefully he is not too far away. He had to go to London to get the MRI and see a physio who specializes in this sort of thing.

“As far as we are aware Lucas’ scan was clear and he was back at Newcastle on Wednesday morning.

“So, hopefully, he can progress from there and be back involved very soon.

“He’s not trained in a while so he will still be a wee bit away in terms of fitness.”

This situation has turned into a nightmare for the young midfielder. His lingering concussion symptoms has kept him off the pitch for basically three months now. Hopefully, with the scan coming back clear, Lucas is on the road to a full recovery.

    Irish I wish you wound stop saying “literally everyone”

    🙂

    I for one did not say Bruno would start because he usually does not for Brazil. I did think me might have a chance with Fred being out though.

    With only eight appearances for Brazil including two starts, maybe no surprise to see Bruno G start on the bench.

    That’s what it said

    Exactly Rom, that is waht I was referring to. He is far from a regular in the Brazil team. Just shows the depth they have.

    I don’t think anyone is wholesale blaming immigrants. You can’t have it both ways, now you’re saying the government wants to keep them here, not deport them to suit an agenda!! Make your mind up.

    I think most right thinking people enjoy living in a multi racial society and have done for many years. However, we are now facilitating some totally unvetted undesirables running these dinghies who are peddling human misery and suffering and appear to be totally unaccountable. Yes to genuine refugees absolutely. Others, not so much.

    Kudus looked great. Not sure why they took Ayew off just when Ghana had momentum.

    Here is a question – if NUFC could sign any member of the Brazil squad (excluding Bruno of course) who would you pick?

    I would go with Vinicius Jr. 2nd choice would be Militão. Tough call though as Militão can play RB and CB so would add excellent depth to our squad.

    The thing I love about this question is we are perhaps only a few years from such questions being realistic!!

    Legolas – Roy stated he had just had a text to say Ronaldo was coming to the toon.. weird for him to say that.

    Brazil with all there attacking talent, struggling to create owt.

    Paqueta might lose his spot to his pal yer know.

    Rotonda – and the Daily Mail is lapping up those photos and posting them on their website like these are the people that the left want to put in big houses and give lots of money to. That’s the agenda of the Daily Mail.

    Most of these single men are being refused asylum but there’s a big backlog processing them due to government cuts. Also, there’s no way for them to apply for asylum from their own country (as many schemes have been removed) so many are changing their arm to get to the UK, apply once here, and hope they get approved.

    The narrative that we’re housing illegal immigrants and giving them preferential treatment to Brits is BS. The narrative that we have more asylum seekers than other European countries is also BS (it’s much less than most other European countries). The problem is the government, reinstate schemes for genuine asylum seekers to apply and be processed from their (or another safe) country and speed up processing of the people who enter illegally to either grant them asylum or deport them.

    I don’t blame the immigrants (illegal or otherwise) one tiny bit for wanting a better life for themselves. I blame the government for not handling it correctly. Make it easy for genuine asylum seekers and bloody hard for the others. Simple.

    If we’re talking about signing Ronaldo, I’d rather have R9 than this prick.

    I give 0% chance of Ronaldo coming to the Toon, it’s just impossible. Anyone claiming it’s going to happen is making crap up for attention.
