Jimenez

Yeah - point being he's in a better negotiating position with 4 years on his contract than if he only had 1.

Still. Not top priority just now.

If he can't play again the club won't (rightly) pay him the remaining 4 years of his contract. But I'm sure there would be some sort of retirement payment or a move into coaching etc

if the club can avoid paying him then i suspect the loss would be insured and recoverable anyway.

You would assume footballers insure themselves against loss of future earnings in the event of a career ending injury.

He’ll be fine financially but what’s more important is his health

Let's all hope the lad is ok and will be back playing again. The PL needs protocols for this type of injuries like an assessment before allowing a player back into the field as the health of a player is more important than a game of football.

Should be well insured, both club and player👍

Puts things in perspective when something this bad happens. Hope he recovers and plays again. Amazing player. Real physical and mental tragedy I wouldn't wish on anyone.

None of us know the extent of his injury and even if we did its far too early to speculate over his recovery. He's part of a knit close family and his partner has just had a daughter so my thoughts are with him and them at what must be a very anxious time.

As for Luiz, I dont think there was any malice in his challenge, they both went to attack the ball and the result was freak accident.
