You get shin splints from overloading your leg muscles, tendons or shin bone. Shin splints happen from overuse with too much activity or an increase in training. Most often, the activity is high impact and repetitive exercise of your lower legs. This is why runners, dancers, and gymnasts often get shin splints.5 Nov 2018

See my little joke about the size of his calf muscles bending his shins, turned out to be no far off the mark.

Apparently his calves are naturally like that and have been since he was a kid , which maybe the reason the issue with his shins crops up every so often.

Abnormal talent to match his abnormal calves.
It's not helped by the fact he plays every minute of every game even when he could come off with 15 to go in some games. Ollie will be next to run himself into the ground, SJM looks like he could have done with rest too, just now and then.
Other clubs rest their star men when they are winning but we seem to go against that.

Yes, no apparently about it, spoke to his dad once and complained at the levels I trained my legs and I never got near those calves He said they'd been like that since childhood.

GIT! lol

Fat chance of a rest with all three possibly going to Euros.
Low participaton hopefully.

I can actually see Jack missing the rest of this season

Same here 57, and I will be delighted if that happens.

I don't think it was a crowded field, to be fair.

I did think he was a good shout for the PFA player of the year before his injury, but no one seems to be talking about him now. Although if the voting still takes place around February time like it used to, he's still in with a chance

Martinez, Konsa or Watkins would have won it if he didn't.....

He's missed a third of our games so far, pretty sure if he'd played the last 11 games we'd be where West Ham are but it is what it is

Wet Spam just got Antonio back and immediately recovered from a mini slump with a solid away win at Burnley. Clearly shows that Moyes is a crap manager and can't win without his best player...

I'm sure he's out of contract in the Summer as well. Shame his hamstrings cant last a full season, always thought he looked a cracking player

Was he always built like a brick shithouse or did he go on the Micah Richards regime?

Think he's always been a unit, seems to have got better as he gets older

This week's European results do us no favours. Jack wouldn't be human if he didn't see how his England rivals are getting on - Mount and Foden set to play in the Champions League final, Rashford in the Europa final, Lingard set for European football next season.
Club loyalty can only go so far - we will have to show some serious ambition to convince him it's worth staying.

We are showing serious ambition ...

Speaking to Sky Sports News' Inside Football show, agent Jonathan Barnett reveals his client Jack Grealish is happy at Aston Villa.
"He loves Villa, but I think we just have to wait to see how things pan out," he said.
"At the moment he is a Villa player and he has had no thoughts about anything else.
"We have to do what is best for Jack and for everybody else."

 

[Silhillvilla]

I think we will get at least one more season from him. If we don't kick on next season he may then have to consider his options
