De Vos Hits Out At Canada

Ipswich Town defender Jason De Vos has hit out at a over cautious Canadian medical team that sent him home from Canada with a non-existent fracture in his leg.

De Vos complained of a pain in his leg while away with his nation and went for a scan to be on the safe side, an x-ray showed nothing but a MRI scan showed a hairline fracture in his fibula and he was sent back to Ipswich where more scans showed nothing.

De Vos has said that: “I'm very annoyed with the medical staff at the hospital in Canada. After the initial X-ray came back clear they said a further scan showed a fracture in the fibula. I specifically asked that they were sure it was not just bruising, but they were adamant.

“I came back and found there is no fracture so I could have played for my country. Instead we lost and that could be a big blow to our chance of qualifying for the World Cup.”.
