Rodgers has said post match that he doesn’t feel too bad and is walking around putting weight on it
James Justin
- Thread starter Solius
- Start date
Damaged his anterior cruciate ligament. Big blow that, had an outside chance of making the euro's I'd say. Was the only outfield player in the league to play every minute up to now
Sucks for him, came a long way this season and because of him and Castagne Leicester havent missed Chilwell or Ricardo a huge amount. Ricardo is back now so Leicester should be okay
Looking around 9 months out, just needs to follow Ricardo’s example just back from the same injury
Obviously hurts us, but more than that absolutely gutted for him. He's been truly brilliant this season, and I can't think for one moment if you are picking form players he doesn't go to the Euros. To play at the level he has whilst playing, Left Back, Right Back and Centre Back is incredible.
That's a mighty blow both for Leicester and England. He gave Southgate the option of cover for both full back positions which would've allowed him to take another attacker which in out current circumstances with so many option would've been ideal. Got to feel for the lad- what a season he's had so far
You were never going to be able to hang on to him at Luton. You may have sold him too cheaply though.No! They took him from Luton. He was our best player. cnuts
That's true to be fair. Shame about his injury.
He'd have also been a very good option as one of the 3 in centre defence also. I've seen him play there really well before. He'd have helped make up for Maguires lack of pace
Real shame for him. He's come so far from when he was making his debut. Looked a real weak link then, has completely made that position his own since.
Horrible luck. He looked absolute class this season.
Depends the extent of the damage to the ACL, a rupture then yeah 9-12 months, strain probably 4-6 months.
How's Pereira doing? Was great for you before his injury.
Rodgers was comparing it to Ricardo's in time frame. Riccy has been solid since returning not really got to full flow yet
Really feel for the lad, looks an excellent prospect, and would have been a very good option for England.
Leicester are my closest Prem club, and there has always been a good following for them around this area.
I wish him well for a full and quick recovery.
Such a shame for him. He has been a revelation this season. I remember the end of last season where he looked out of his depth in a few games. However, his improvement this year has been fantastic.
Such a shame, he's been of the better players in the league this season and should have gone to the euros.
Glad to hear he's recovered and finding his form again, great player who I wouldn't have minded at United, just a shame you enjoy bending us over the table during transfer negotiations
be easier if you just gave us your bank account next timeGlad to hear he's recovered and finding his form again, great player who I wouldn't have minded at United, just a shame you enjoy bending us over the table during transfer negotiations
That is just really sad and unlucky for him. He’s certainly better than Chilwell and probably equal with Luke in terms of performances this season. No loss for England because Southgate wouldn’t pick him because...it’s Southgate, but obviously gutting for him and Leicester.
He’s been our best player this season for me.
It’ll be interesting how we plug that gap as we’ve been ravaged by injury this season.

long term Castagne, he was due back this weekend but isn't quite ready, this weekend likely a back 3 with Thomas LWB
Isn't Pereira fit again?
yes he's played the last 4 or 5 games until he was rested vs Brighton in the cup
Really unlucky. Been one of the best full backs in the league. Top class player.
Is such a shame I know injuries are bad but especially when he's in a career high form it's a real blow
Big shame - I'm a fan of the guy.
Hope he recovers well. Thinks he has a bright future.

Talk about calling it wrong!
Horrible for the lad.
Absolutely mad luck with full backs in particular this season.
Wonder if you'll ever have your three main guys fit and in form together!
Awful news for the lad. With the way he was playing, he could have potentially sneaked into the England squad.
I’d like to think he was, given how versatile and well he’s been playing.
I’m hoping Ricardo can knock the rust the off Quickly and get back up to his previous standards.
Terrible news that, was having such a good season.
I must say that i feel really sorry for him 
To lose such a player for the U21 Euros is terrible for the Young Lions too.
