Even though Rantie was clearly hauled to the ground, showing a massive amount of discomfort, it now seems likely that the initial injury might not be as bad as first feared.
Speaking in the Bournemouth Evening Echo, Rantie is quoted as saying: "I dislocated my shoulder, ...... it was out of the joint but they managed to bring it back together.“Luckily, I won’t need to have an operation because it was the first time this has happened and the damage was not that serious. I am going for an MRI scan to see exactly how long the injury will take (to heal). I am home now (after being discharged from hospital). At least the pain is not so bad and I can move and rotate my shoulder in different directions".
