Gold Coast Titans fullback Michael Gordon cleared for NRL return after blood clot

Given he would have retired instantly had the advice from the specialist not been so positive, Gordon told NRL.com that he is happy to have the opportunity to finish off the season, and potentially his career in the NRL."Just to get a bit of clarity. I don't have to be on medication or anything now, it's just being more aware of certain things, wearing compression socks on long haul flights, things like that.

"If I got the bad news I wasn't something I was going to try and argue against. Whatever the experts say, that's what I'd do. Already scheduled to have ankle surgery at the end of the season, Gordon said that given the length and hardness of the clot he will also require surgery to have the affected vein removed.

"I've got to have ankle surgery at the end of the year anyway so I'll probably try and do it all in one go."

TonyWebeck Oi read the article you wankers, he's fine to play 😄

TonyWebeck Smart move

nrlphysio TonyWebeck 😬

TonyWebeck The clubs and says it’s all about player welfare. It’s time to prove it by not letting Gordon play.

TonyWebeck It appears no one who commented read the article 😂

TonyWebeck No professionalism at that club. None at all.

TonyWebeck Has anyone actually read the article?

TonyWebeck This is so absolutely messed up.

TonyWebeck Surely someone steps in and says this isn't on?

TonyWebeck For the 100 people commenting below who didn't read the article it says it has nothing to do with his head.

TonyWebeck That's a no from me bud

nrlphysio TonyWebeck Good to see players welfare being looked after.

TonyWebeck The Titans should be stripped points if he plays. Gross negligence, even if he wants to play. They have nothing to play for either. Nothing worth risking your life over

TonyWebeck Dumbest thing I’ve heard all day NRL step in here and stop this madness Imagine if something happens to him. It’s not like there weren’t any red flags.

TonyWebeck If I'm an opponent, I will refuse to tackle him. Which ironically is the same course of action as the NRL who appears to be refusing to tackle the issue.

TonyWebeck

TonyWebeck storm probably the last team you want to play if one more head knock could kill him, they will probably aim for it with every shot

TonyWebeck Ironically, his decision to play on could be the result of head knocks. Madness.

TonyWebeck Got to love the duty of care taken here...

TonyWebeck Soo is he just stupid or?

TonyWebeck I assume he can survive another knock now?

TonyWebeck There's that duty of care that we've grown to know and love! 😬

TonyWebeck Unfortunately if you get told that it’s probably best to give it away..I love league but it ain’t worth that much

TonyWebeck He’s mad if he keeps playing

TonyWebeck Crazy
