Sad to read that Bright Dike snapped his Achilles just minutes into the weekend's exhibition match. His brawny style and ability to fake defenders and come out of a scrum with a shot were all great fun to watch last year. And sterling as far as the team's effectiveness went.
I winced when I read the story. I'm an old man and I've been nursing a sensitive Achilles for a fair while myself. All my mates give me the lecture about not risking a tear because it's a long recovery and no fun in the meantime. Gives me pause when I read that this fit young guy who's actually an athlete was afflicted.
I'm hoping that they find it's a partial tear and his recovery will be swift. I am going to enjoy seeing the interesting cast of other forwards the Timbers have assembled. But I'd like to see Dike back sooner rather than later.
