Canadian captain sinclair might miss game against france
Bad News....
BOCHUM, Germany -- Christine Sinclair may be unable to play in Canada's next game at the FIFA Women's World Cup.
The team captain was unable to participate in Tuesday's practice and is unsure if she'll be cleared to face France on Thursday.
Sinclair had her nose broken during Canada's opening 2-1 loss to Germany.
She was later fitted for a protective mask but says she won't be cleared to start running again until the pain goes away.
With the top two teams in each group moving on, Canada needs at least a draw against France to keep its hopes alive.

She will play. At worst she may not start to see how it goes but I would be very surprised if she didn't play. Practice is one thing. The game is completely different. At this point, the practices are just to repair mistakes and smooth tactics over a little bit; and getting the subs good workouts. She does not need to actively participate in those to play in the game.
Yes I agree she will play in pain and the I expect the French to slap at the nose.
I hoping this doesn't come down to a question of insurance coverage not covering a pro player for a possible career ending injury. Anyone know to what extent the CSA insurance policy covers the amateur and pro players on the WNT?
I've never heard of a broken nose ending an athlete's career. Has anyone heard of a similar career ending injury?
After a similar injury I was told the nose was soft tissue and the real concern and damage was past the bridge.
If Sinclair is down we have a great bench with options ranging from playmaking to finishing to speed/power.

It's how it is diagnosed and then treated. If not treated right or missed it could be worse and get worse over the long term......NHL good example.
A broken nose typically hurts, bleeds and swells. Signs and symptoms of a broken nose may appear immediately or they may take up to three days to show, according to the Mayo Clinic
