Blake Green

Set to miss the start of the season due to a blood clot in his leg, is it just me or does Hull KRs statement on the matter appear a bit unusual?

"Blake's health and well-being is our primary concern. He will not be available for selection until further notice," a club statement said.
"Out of respect to the player, the club will be making no further comment on this matter."

Can be very serious if it moves and gets to the heart. I think it's what they call a pulmonary embolism

No, thats a blockage in the lungs mate

[Brynhild]

Blockage of the artery to the lungs, so in between

The serious nature of the problem only came to light when Green went for scans after complaining of increased pain and he is now set to undergo surgery.

"It came completely out of the blue," said Hull KR coach Craig Sandercock. "It could have happened to me or you.

"He's out for a significant period of time. We're still getting some clarification of that. We're probably still coming to terms with how serious the issue is.

"It could possibly have been life-threatening at one time. It's a serious issue and it's been treated seriously. Our medical staff did a great job in diagnosing him and getting the scans done."
