rodigan Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 real shame, for the lad and horrible way to get injured.... these are the games that we need to bank the points and if we're going into the next few without the top three CBs and three of our top midfielders, we're really going to struggle I think.... it was interesting to me that it was sanchez who took up the role of distributing the ball in westwood's absence rather than cleverley or Richardson...

Woodytom Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Scan on Monday so guess we will see. Grealish just tweeted a get well soon message and said he is the most underrated player he knows. Yet people are daft for rating him. Oh well. Ahh of course. The juggernaut of a footballing brain that is jack grealish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too. I said as much in the match thread. I'd have expected Richardson to swap with Cleverley and Cleverley to drop to Westwood's position. It was an interesting set up anyway. Sanchez very much the ball winner with Westwood as the water carrier, but Westwood playing noticeably deeper than Sanchez. I'd usually expect it to be the other way round. Seemed to work yesterday.

dnmacf Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I hope it doesn't turn out as serious as it looked, he seemed in real pain from the replays shown of the physios assessing him on the field on MOTD. Supplying and supporting Benteke is our number 1 priority in reality and Westwood plays a big role in that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he is a pro not to mention trains with Westwood daily so I'd imagine he's had plenty of time to make an informed opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the temptation to mention trains to someone from Crewe must be overwhelming.

sexbelowsound Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 The commentators said yesterday that their man on touchline spoke to the Villa Physio who said he had "Opened up his knee". Anyone got a clue what that means? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted December 8, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted December 8, 2014 Just means you've twisted it a bit the wrong way. Think if you were sidefooting a pass but your foot stopped and your knee kept going. Could be nothing, could be something very bad. As speculated earlier it's more than likely ligaments. The wait will be to see if he's strained them or ruptured them. The latter is a season ender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a similar tackle done on me about 18 months ago, torn anterior ligament. 3 months off work, 5 months off football. Let's hope he turned out of the tackle a bit and it's not that bad.

TrentVilla Posted December 8, 2014 Moderator Share Posted December 8, 2014 It will be a ligament injury of some sort, just a question of which of the ligaments and what extent of damage (if any) has been done. They will have waited until today for any immediate swelling to go down then he will be scanned. You would hope that there is no damage, or if there is damage its to the medial or anterir rather than the cruciate but guess we will have to wait and see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I don't know what he has done to earn the right to take all set pieces? Yes he's welcome to some but can no-one else put in a decent set piece? Timing is everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The anterior and Medial (or posterior) are both cruciate ligaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Sad news for any player to be injured and especially when he was having such a good game. I think we'll be OK if delph and Cole come back fairly soon. We need Sanchez and cleverly to stay fit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
