Great news that it's relatively short term. We'll miss him for sure though. For me, he's our most important, and best player by a country mile.
The best case scenario according to that YouTube video from the sports doc was a grade one MCL which would’ve kept him out for 2-3 weeks.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
He'd still be better - AND QUICKER - than MaguireCan he not just hop?
'Arry return arc.Just seen the news. Thankful it’s not the worst! Sad we won’t see his ability building out from the back continue. Varane is woeful at it in comparison, the rest aren’t really worth commenting on…
Yeah. He's one of our best players (arguably best) and so far he has missed so many games for us. Since Martinez arrived, we played 95 games in all competitions. He was unavilable for 34 of those because of injuries, that is 35.7% of games. That percentage will rise even more over next 2 months before he comes back.By the time he's back he'll basically have gone a year without having a sustained period of playing for us. Horrendous luck.
This, especially when it comes to kneesPlease don’t rush him back. If he needs more than 2 months then make sure he gets it
I don't think there's much you can do about it - it's a freak accident injury.Please don’t rush him back. If he needs more than 2 months then make sure he gets it
In this case it literally is luck, because it is not a case of some chronic thing where he is just injury prone.That expression always seems seem so out of place when taking about luck with injuries
I think it's more in the context of he's also missed the majority of the last 8 months. If he'd been playing every game up until this point it might not feel too bad but to finally get him back in the side and looking like his old self, only to lose him for 2 more months is pretty jarring.Lads, he’s out for 4-8 weeks. It’s not too bad.
He has missed most of the season though. It's almost a write off.Lads, he’s out for 4-8 weeks. It’s not too bad.
feck off you bellend. Just a freak injuryPerma crock
Thanks!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
Yes, it does. Specifically it sucks by about 7-10 months less.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.
Your username checks out.Lads, he’s out for 4-8 weeks. It’s not too bad.
