Rodri Injury Updates | City say ligament injury (pg117)

Sounds like there is a possibility it isn't a full rupture of the ACL.


Not getting my hopes up yet though, just going to assume he's out for the season until we hear the news.

It’s obviously bad, but at least Pep’s “some opinions that it will be less than we thought” comments offer a glimmer of hope.

If we are lucky and its not a full ACL type reconstruction required, maybe he could get fit for the CWC. Otherwise best case scenario is he recovers in time to have a full pre season ready for next year.

I did my ACL in 2000 (well everyone else is telling their story )

Pain was so bad I was borderline spewing up, I was trembling just after it happened; you just know when it’s something bad.

A pro player bitd famously returned after 4 months which was ridiculously quick. Most return between 6-12 months.

Rodri will be getting the best care available of course. All this bollocks about partial tears is just that. A partial tear normally results in reconstructive surgery either way.

FWIW it’s plays on your mind mentally after returning and some say you never fully recover, but plenty have in the last 15 years so nothing to be too concerned about long term.

This old git still has a kick about once a week to an alright standard 24 years later, mine was done at Trafford General on the NHS, not quite the level which Rodders will receive.

That’s mad, really don’t get how there could be such a big difference of opinions. It’s certainly not a straight ACL rupture then, as that would be easy to diagnose.

Very similar to opinions in the match thread on McAtee's performance tonight.

A reminder it is long recovery, but that can be totally successful.

Can’t give that a like, lol. Is what it is, it’s a top surgeon doing it so got as much faith as is possible, he does Prem footballers and Super League players etc.

Very best to you Rammy. Sports surgeons definitely know their shit - the guy who did mine was the Yale Football team doctor. The hamstring graft is normally what top level athletes opt for but I had a cadavre graft which was advised given my age.

I`m no GP but seeing Rodders actually walk off the park without a stretcher gives me a bit of hope.Would you be able to put down any weight bearing on it,if it was that bad ?
I don`t know the answer but a couple of you have had similar problems in the past.

ACL tears seem to mean that you can still walk normally. They mean that if you turn and put weight on your knee that the ACL missing means the knee doesn’t move in that turn and can make the leg collapse and tear other ligaments and tendons.
