CVByrne Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 No news is good news imo. If it was a clear ACL tear and he needed surgery it would be announced. If it's some sort of medial damage and may or may not need surgery it takes longer to work out the right treatment 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) 8 hours ago, VillaChris said: It's basically the same midfield we've had since promotion that hasn't got us to 10th once. Luiz could well leave in January, McGinn isn't the same as two years back, Sanson will probably just be promoted to brief 10 minute cameos and I don't quite think on his own Dendoncker has influence to lift us from 14th to 8th somehow. It's going to be a hard watch. We needed to sign another top midfielder alongside Kamara in the summer so at least that should mean we get one in January (Dendoncker certainly wasn't a player we were tracking for six months). Problem is, if Steven is still here (God forbid), I can't see him dropping McGinn. Most people can see that Kamara should be the first name on the teamsheet in midfield, but he must start alongside Luiz, somehow though Steven can't see this.

BG_Villa_Fan Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) I had a sprained MCL not too long ago. Took me more than two months until I was able to run normally. Obviously I didn’t have the top treatment a premier league player would. Hopefully it’s not more than a sprain. Fingers crossed.

Can you play holding midfielder? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughable Chimp Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I honestly don't think he'll be a big loss for us. I don't think he's been better than Luiz and Luiz can cover for his role just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However at least we have Luiz that can do a job there. This injury to Kamara justifies our decision to turn down that deadline day 25 mil for Luiz tho. Although I suppose Dendoncker could also do that job and maybe he will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been left exposed and having to do too much by Gerrards system a few times but on the whole I’ve been impressed with him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picicata Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I think Kamara looks a good player, disciplined in the defensive role and with a good range of passing. However, he clearly hasn't made any real difference to our overall play and results. This isn't a slight on him just that the tactics/ formation doesn't allow us to get the best out of any of our players, as such having Luiz come into the role won't entail a drop off in overall performance. Hopefully by the the time Kamara is back we might have a more tactically astute manager and then we will see the real difference he can make. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Indigo Posted September 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2022 I think he'd be a pretty big loss tbh. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderball Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Have you not been watching?, he is a very good player who improves us. As pointed out, without him and Carlos we are back to where we were. That’s going backwards in this division. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyVillans Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Kamara is also good in the air which we will lose with Luiz covering. Rather try dendoncker and have Luiz further up 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd have more points on the board if we'd started Luiz in first five games alongside him than McGinn imo so that's the big issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rightdm00 Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 So what's the deal. No surgery announced, so just a sprain? Not trying to downplay a sprain they can still cause a lengthy time out but I would have figured if he needed surgery for a tear it would have been announced by now.

A sprain can be worse than a break. The later is easy to deal with, just immobilise it for a set period of time and it will heal. Its not so set in stone for a sprain.

I think of it was a serious injury requiring surgery it would be announced like Diego Carlos and lots of well wishing on social media. A strain of some description is one where it's difficult to project how long it will take for him to recover. In that situation we will probably only get an update on the pre Leeds press conference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
