Does this mean his career is over?

I read about this on their website last night, horrible injury from the sounds of it. But he'll be back, he's a big bloke, he'll recover.

Nathan Elder

Just seen on sky sports that Nathan Elder has been left blind in one eye following an aerial challenge during Brentfords game with Rotheram at the weekend.

Really hope it is isn't permanent damage, always struck me as an honest player. Get well soon.

 

[algie]

Will he still have an eye for goal?

 

[Hills]

You just got there before me! Just looked at the article on sky sports, they suspect he will be without vision in the eye for several months.

Although they can't rule out permanent damage. Very sad!

 

[SNOOBS]

"Nathan took the full impact of the challenge on his eyeball and he has no vision in his left eye and is unlikely to have vision for several months."

At least it sounds as if he can recover !! Awful injury though "X-rays showed that Nathan had a double fracture of the cheekbone, a fractured eye socket, severe trauma to the eyeball and extensive bleeding in and around the eye,"

Get well soon - I always really liked him when he was here.

 

[Father Jack]

get well soon Nathan- he was always a top bloke around the club

 

[Djmiles]

Never had anything against the bloke, nice to see him scoring goals. Hope he gets his vision back soon.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Poor fella. Good luck.

 

[Mr Blobby]

Having experienced the loss of an eye I know how he will be feeling.

I see from the Brentford site they are saying it was caused by an elbow and they will be taking the issue further.

 

[J-Scott]

i thought he was a good player when he was here, get well soon

 

[murraymints4brighton]

I thought he was a shit player, but good luck anyway.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Terrible news, he has been showing his potential this season for Brentford.

I hope he can come back and play at a higher level next season.

 

[Gritt23]

That's horrific. God, I hope he makes a full recovery, it all seemed to be going well for him at Brentford.

 

[Tom Bombadil]

Just seen the challenge on SSN. IMO the Rotherham player leads with the elbow, but RU are claiming it's a fair challenge.

 

[GT49er]

Get well soon - I always really liked him when he was here.

My sentiments entirely.

 

[Peteinblack]

My sentiments entirely.

Mine too.

Hope you make a full recovery in due course, Nathan.

 

[SeagullRic]

My thoughts are with you Nathan

The Eye has very good capabilities of healing. The Eye inafct is the best part of the body at healing itself unless the integirty of the Eye is damaged beyongd repair. With Nathan is look bad. 50/50 but I reckon he will get his eyesight back or most of it in time.
