Steero113 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Bugger, just read this. Please don't be the dreaded Achilles. Guy has an absolute cannon on him and is a proper menace at set pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed but not feeling optimistic about this one. If it was a ruptured Achilles they wouldn’t have stretched his leg. MRIs are also precautionary. Doesn’t necessarily mean something bad has happened. Probably a cramp that he tried playing through and became a muscle strain of sorts.

If it’s a snapped Achilles then he wouldn’t have walked off. That’s a fall in a heap injury if you try and walk. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe that if the medical staff were that worried that they would have let him stand up and walk off rather than either using a stretcher or having someone support his weight whilst limping / hopping off. Fingers crossed. To be fair Trezeguet walked off against Liverpool and proceeded to miss however many months thereafter. Can only hope it's a Konsa situation from the end of last season and not as bad as feared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a-k Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Everyone talking about his injury and I'm just like what a f***ing strike from that corner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daft Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I'll miss him, and I am convinced he would have become a rock in our defence. Oh well, next season maybe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like it's bad and when you are talking ankles that's the bad one. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Oh FFS didn't even realise it was a suspected bad one. New Villa signings and huge injury lay-offs within a few months: Amavi & Wesley immediately spring to mind, sure there is more. Really hope its a false alarm the guy looks the business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a mate do it at 5 a side and walked off to his car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is the surgery for both a full tear and a partial is the same and it takes the same amount of time to recover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LxYoungAVFC Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Is no one of the opinion that they might have exaggerated the reaction to waste time? Yes it might have been cramp but Carlos seems like a guy who knows how the dark arts work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I assume it will need to be a loan to replace Carlos for the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
