They spent like 5 minutes trying to put his finger back in on the pitch. I don't think it worked.

Ok yea, traumatic is an understatement then! Great player and let's hope he heals quick, damn that sounds nasty.

He did do a few successful passes after tbf. Adrenaline is amazing.

He was trembling and crying for a bit there. Hard to watch. And then he kept playing for five or so minutes before they took him off

I’m pretty sure you heard Nic Berry on the mic saying ‘that doesn’t look good’

Yeah, traumatic finger dislocation is not a term I've ever come across, thankfully

As far as I know, it means some degree of exposed fracture/luxation. But I am just guessing

I would understand it to refer to the cause of the dislocation, by trauma. Any dislocation may have a range of associated damage, depending on the specific nature of the dislocation. This is obviously a very nasty injury to Albornoz's hand, and we can only hope that he makes a good recovery.

Arg seemed so reluctant to take him off the park despite the prolonged treatment and Albornoz constantly looking to the bench. They even played a few minutes with 14 men when he finally did come off because they didn't get Carreras ready.
Hope we see him vs SA. What a player he is. Also hope there wasn't more damage done trying to pop it back into place on the pitch (not a criticism of the medics at all, most do go back).

Shame for him Argentina because a much more dangerous side on attack with him on the field. Hope Benetton can keep him, gotta be a few big french clubs about to come knocking.
