DaveAV1 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 A player on crutches obviously never looks good and I wouldn’t expect him to look over joyed either. However he could be on crutches for a few days or months, we just don’t know. We may get an SG update in his next presser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What update are you expecting? "Oh it's just a very minor niggle, he'll be ready for Christmas"? We'll be lucky to get him back by March, depends if he needs surgery or not but I'd say his season is probably done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes of course because they'd totally not give any support to a player who sprained their knee. We can determine anything from this picture. We know he will be out for a while but we don't know exactly how long. It could be anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months at the minute and jumping to conclusions doesn't help.

If it's anything over a Grade 1, it's going to take at least 4 months to heal. If it's just a Grade 1, he gets an ice pack, physiotherapy, and 2-3 weeks off training - not a pair of crutches and a hinged knee brace like the one he's wearing in the picture. Believe what you want, I get the impression you will, but he's out for months. Edited December 16, 2021 by est1874 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejs1111 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I'm just wondering if anyone has found out if surgery was needed or not. That alone would help determine if it was 'season ending' or if he has a chance of returning in the spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man literally never stops smiling. The fact he couldn't muster one for a staged photo means it's bound to be bad news. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no surgery and a 3+ month return at the end of the season is much better than ACL surgery and missing all of this season and the start of next season.

I’m not expecting anything as I said we just don’t know anything for sure. We may get some indication as to the seriousness of the injury from those that do know in the near future.

Yes because football clubs are known for taking chances with their players health almost like we've had multiple youngsters the past 2 season been wearing the full boots with only grade 1 ankle sprains. We know he's out until at least mid January otherwise he'd still be going to afcon. It's likely worse yes. But just because he's wearing a knee brace doesn't mean it's that bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As he says '12 weeks if the rehab is fantastic' pretty much says they're already expecting longer to be fair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
