The erstwhile Prime League striker thinks millions. It's about a failed operation

Former Premier League striker Sylvan Ebanks-Blake won the first phase of a loud trial against a sports surgeon who is accused of medical negligence. The court found that 1 of the treatments was unjustified and cost the footballer even a fewer years of career at a advanced level.

It all started with an injury from the end of the 2012/13 season, erstwhile Ebanks-Blake, then a Wolverhampton Wanderers player, broke his arrowbone. His orthopedist James Calder not only set the fracture, but besides decided to interfere with the ankle—a trauma years ago, inactive from the Manchester United Academy. The footballer claims that this extra treatment was unnecessary and caused chronic pain that limited his game. In the lawsuit, he claims about £7 million in damages.

Judge Christina Lambert acknowledged him right: she considered the decision to operate the ankle to be “unreasonable and illogical”, stressing that the pond should only be observed. In her opinion, it was the procedure that caused the pain, and without it, the player would have returned to form before the injury and could have played without ailments for 3 to 5 years.
