Mike Keegan from the MEN is reporting that Doyle is suffering from a blood clot and will be out for months.


Hearing it’s dreadful news on Eoin Doyle for Oldham. Whispers of a blood clot and months rather than weeks. #oafc #cursed

I’m sure we all wish him well in his recovery and hopefully it doesn’t turn out to be as serious as Mike suggests.

Terrible luck and hope Eoin recovers soon. He's been in terrific form for Oldham. This is effectively another addition to our own dreadful injury list.
 
A real shame for him. Hope he makes a quick recovery. Perhaps the best solution for everyone would be to extend his loan with Oldham until the end of the season so he can finish the season there after his recovery ?

Brian McBride went through that as I remember.

Let's hope he's ok and back to good health asap.
 
Medically, what does this mean?

I do remember that McBride thing... something to do with his arm, wasn't it? But I can't remember what exactly it all involved.

All the best to the lad.
 
This can be a result of previous injuries, the risk is if the clot moves from where it is to somewhere else (embolism?).

McBride's clot was in his arm and it resulted in him being on warfarin (blood thinner) for life.
 
I don’t think Eoin was a part or the managers plans but his proposed transfer may have been. The transfer fee and wage off the books would have gone towards a signing.

Until it is reported fully we can only speculate as to the impact for us an more importantly Eoin.

I hope it is not career threatening and he can resume playing at Oldham or elsewhere as soon as possible.
 
If we had the same problem we would have been on the NHF, its PNE Problem now better to be a footballer than a warehouse worker, c ome on guys it can happen to us all

I think it depends on the cause of the clot, in most cases I think blood thinning tablets are only used until the clot has been cleared. In McBride's case I very much doubt he continued to take the tablets after the clot was gone, as he continued to play football for a few years. If he had needed to continued to take the tablets that would have meant the end of his football career, as injuries such as a broken leg could potentially have resulted in him bleeding to death.
