The positions they play make a big difference as well. Were they both ACL injuries? Would be concerning if so , the bigger guys reall struggle to recover, follow Munster in the rugby and having similar issues with one of our south African second rows, been nearly 2 years sidelined at this stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I think Diego did his ankle, not knee? Just checked: Achilles Tendon it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Give him two sub appearances and then start him in every game for the foreseeable future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a weird one, as everyone is of the opinion that Carlos is going to be a colossus, we've yet to see what he can do in this team in this league (Bournemouth wasn't a brilliant start). Throw injury into the mix, and he may not prove to be a first name on the sheet signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Way we're managing games since UE came in he'll get plenty of sub minutes when we're winning. Look at how many defenders we put on with 10-15 minutes left at Spurs when we were 2 up. Not sure what the panic is. 7-8 months is standard for achilles rupture if not longer so back sometime in March is realistic timeline and then we ease him in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fully recovered signed off player isn't going to be happy sitting around for 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Achilles rupture ended the Villa Benteke IMO. He was never the same the rest of his career. Luckily Rodgers demanded Liverpool sign him so we snuck £30m out of them. Carlos' speed very well may be affected. Especially his burst off the spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I'd rather go the Martin Laursen way with my thoughts about his recovery.. than the Benteke or Wesley thoughts route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 It depends a lot on the severity, you can partially rupture an Achilles (I’ve done it) or it can completely tear, fingers crossed for the former in this instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his case, I’m fairly sure its a complete rupture. The length of time he’s been out as well as the fact that he went for surgery to fix it suggests so.

True, but 14/15 Benteke under Sherwood was still a menace. He was even scoring free kicks towards the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 March time was always a realistic target but any minutes on the pitch before the end of the season is a bonus. Good summer/preseason and hopefully we see him back to his best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
