Benjamin Mendy (Back In Training)

Not sure if Essien's original injury was as bad as Mendy's? Essien had two ACL injuries and operations on his right knee 2008 & 2011 and one on his left in 2010. Perhaps he had an innate physical weakness.
That must have been a difficult few years for him.

I’ve done mine twice and a Physio told me just that, that some people’s posture/biomechanics makes them prone to it. Obviously I’ve not received the rehab a professional athlete receives but it’s a fucker to recover from.

I am dreading the moment when twats like the Rag players will target that Knee again

Mendy is a big unit, you'd be suicidal to go after him, only ( call me) Zlatan is malicious enough to try anything like that, but he's a bully who only goes after the little guy.

Love the photo below his tweet answering what a shark team is.

Completely true, bud - really well said. Psychologically, it is very difficult for the first few months, even playing recreationally. Unless Delph is injured and we get nobody in Jan, I am not sure I see the point of risking Mendy this season. Maybe the odd cameo off the bench if we are chasing a game, but otherwise best let him fully recover and get ready for pre-season (or just possibly World Cup).

I don't think Mendy is the type to be psychologically challenged by it.

And you base that on ...? He's a human being - anyone coming off serious surgery and long rehab is going to be on tenterhooks for a while.

glad he seems to be making good progress.
