Hopefully he can get back to contribute from April. Yeah me too. I'd imagine Zaniolo's days are numbered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 It's been 6 months to the day that Emery said he had his injury in the press conference and said it was a 6, 7 or 8 month injury. Let's hope he's back in training next month. We could use him for the run in as impact off the bench especially in Europe or against these low block PL teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, then will he be able to play? I agree we could do with extra numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STO Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 It might take him a couple of months to get back up to match speed, which rules this season out, but what a boost he'd be if we can get him back in time. Far more industrious than Tielemans and we have really missed a sharp number 10. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beasley14 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Certainly looks to be ahead of Mings in recovery. To be expected as Mings was down as having the more serious injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 If Emi comes back in April and we are fighting tooth and nail to make CL, which we will be, I worry about him getting over-emotional and going too hard too soon and aggravating his injury.

I'd worry more about thrusting a player who has been out all season into the most intense performance period of the season - pivotal to our immediate future in this instance you've given. I hope Buendia makes a good recovery and gets a full summer under his belt before we see him back on the pitch, personally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Even if it was a different injury to Diego Carlos, probably a similar timeline. Back involved in mid March on the bench and then hopefully get on the pitch in April. Need to be patient but he'd certainly be useful guy to come in for some of the Sunday games after europa with his energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACL injuries are typically 9 months I think for a professional footballer. Not saying Emery is wrong, but I wouldn't say he meant literally 6, 7, 8 month injury. Was probably just differentiating between a 6 week injury and long term injury. I wouldnt expect him back until May at the earliest. So next season. Both back next season.

RichW Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I think if Buendia is fit before the end of the season I don’t see Emery giving him much, if any, minutes at all. Carlos was on the bench a lot at the end of last season and apart from some minutes against Wolves I don’t recall him getting on the pitch? Could just be Emery doesn’t like rushing players back from long term injuries especially if we are in a close race for the Champions League. With attacking options of Watkins, Bailey, Diaby, Ramsey, Rogers, Zaniolo aswell as Mcginn/Tielemans I think Emery will see that as enough to get to the end of the season personally.

We had a settled back line of Konsa and Mings so Carlos couldnt get a chance Attacking options are different especially if chasing a game late on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digavilla Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Just watching the Brenforrd/Liv game, that clever laid off by Maupay for Toney really remind me of what Buendia does so often… really miss me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHY Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Can’t say I’m surprised but looks like both him and Mings won’t play this season. Hopefully both will be fully fit for the start of next season. Will be like 2 new signings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
