Tbf it’d be more surprising if he didn’t.

Very true. The never ending shopping list continues doesn't it?
CM, Winger, Striker, CB and then most would say a keeper too.
We've probably all thought about Football whilst on the job, it certainly makes things last, but posting on here at the time? Crikey that takes some courage. "Are you recording us with that phone" "No, it's ok, I'm on Redcafe"...
A decent right back too. We can do better than Dalot.
No need to be like that. I am in my 18. hour of my shift and redcafe is fastest way to get updates.
And I am old.
You may have missed my joke, but nevermind
. Not sure where you are based but 'on the job' in the UK has other meanings too, it was just a play on words.We haven't heard anything yet on Licha, hopefully it's not as bad as thought.
Frightening how different we look as a team with his inclusion... and how unlucky he is with injuries this season. 
Was he this injury prone before joining us?
You mean did players fall onto his knee before this?
This has nothing to do with being injury prone, the guy landed on his knee ffs.
I know I know but the poor guy constantly getting injured at the moment. (Well perhaps I’m being a touch dramatic there)
confirmed @gastonedul
1 to two months. MCL.

2 months out. Urgh.
Could have been much worse is the silver lining.
The lad can't get a break, so fecking unlucky.
This injury prone narrative needs to stop. He’s had two injuries since he’s joined, it’s just very unfortunate they may both be lengthy ones. Injury prone isn’t defined by the length of time a player is out for, it’s the amount of injuries they suffer on a regular basis.

Gutted for him.
At least he'll be back for the last month of the season or so....

Just back in time for the Copa. feck sake.
Given how it looked I think that's a decent result. Back for the last month of the season
Good news that it's nothing torn and no surgery needed. Obviously we'd prefer no injury, but a situation like that was a hair away from being out until 2025 and not being at full form until 25/26.

It’s not worst case scenario but certainly not best case scenario either.
So basically out for the season. We shouldn't work on getting him back asap. give him time to build up and be ready for the new season. Maybe give him 5-10 minutes here and there at the end of the season if he is proper ready but should really be well managed....
I see you were correct here with the sprained MCL prediction as was the guy on the video.
Is the 6-8 weeks out not quite a lot for a sprain though? I thought this seemed more the timeframe for a grade 3 tear
They need to runs those tests again, the Cafe doctors saw it was an ACL injury from his face.
By the time he's back he'll basically have gone a year without having a sustained period of playing for us. Horrendous luck.
A massive loss given that we're a different team at the back with and without him.
Well, he was diagnosed with a finished career last season.
Brilliant news. But now I'm no longer confident of us getting top 4.
2 months... Fecking hell.
I don't buy into the "could have been worse" mindset. "Awfully unlucky" is better than "cosmically unlucky" of course, but that doesn't make it suck any less.

It’s the best case scenario by a mile?
We have a tough run in, he really only misses Villa and City away. Back for Chelsea away and Liverpool not long after
Thank god nothing major but it means we probably won't get champions league, we really need him for the big games
And we're down to 1 game a week until it ends, too, so there's no massive need to rush him back in for cup competitions either.
While better news than the dreaded ACL but two month out is a massive blow to Uniteds top 4/5 chances.
A much better team with him playing, one of the few leaders on the field and simply no like for like replacement.
Premier league matches he'll miss
Villa (A)
Luton (A)
Fulham (H)
Man City (A)
Everton (H)
Sheffield United (H)
Brentford (A)
Possible comeback game Chelsea (A) on April 3rd?

No, basically out for between 1-2 months.
So, in optimistic scenario he will be available for about 20% of this season in total?
Just push the reset button and see you in mid August.

Will take that. Speedy recovery Mr. Butcher.
That expression always seems seem so out of place when taking about luck with injuries
So a bad ligament sprain, probably 6 weeks out.
It sucks but it could have been a lot worse. He'll miss 7 games for us if he comes back after the international break.
