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.

    TDS I said the same a week or so ago “I would rather have R9”

    You are right though zero chance of R7 coming to NUFC. It simply won’t happen.

    DrGloom – I agree. I wasn’t joking when I said 0%. I’d happily bet any amount of money on it not happening. Show me a bookie offering 1/100 odds and I’ll put a grand on to make an easy tenner.

    Pug,

    If we could add Alphonso Davies as left back and a top young right centre back(to cover Scharr and learn his trade.)
    We could be sorted for years.
    Then we just need to replace Trippier(in a few years),who has been our most important signing in probably 20 years!

    The sheer number of international managers who are picking players who have done well for them and who have experience over players who have had a good season so far is incredible…it’s almost like they know what they’re doing and some fans are totally wrong to pick players based on some decent form over the last 3 months…

    Not strictly true, we have signed Chris Wood and Trippier for short term gains.

    Maybe Eddie see’s something that us mere mortals dont.

    I hate Ronaldo, agree with everyone’s points. However Eddie might know better…
    And may think he could help us break top4 this season.

    If’s he a pratt in our dressing room big Jamal will just belt him.

    Thats my point.

    Agree Trips is key to the whole project for now.

    From Transfermarkt (all figures in Euros) you can all argue “so and so is worth more than that” and perhaps rightly so but I just present the info.

    Pope – paid 11.5M, worth 18M, value flat currently
    Botman – paid 37M, worth 38M, value rising
    Burn – paid 15M, worth 12M, value flat
    Targett – paid 17.5M,worth 15M, value falling
    Trips – paid 14M, worth 13M, value falling
    Bruno – paid 42M, worth 60M, value rising
    Isak – paid 70M, worth 50M, value flat
    Wood – paid 30M, worth 10M, value flat

    My take on the above:
    Pope: undervalued, likely to rise.
    Botman: value is increasing and will double if he continues as he has begun.
    Trips: undervalued but age comes into play.
    Bruno: roughly correct but we would not sell him for +100M
    Isak- probably correct for now. Has to prove himself when fit.
    Others: correct.
