[Rodri’s ACL]

A player who can adequately cover the ‘6’

Wharton

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Brilliant by Gvardiol there. Probably saved a goal.

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

How long you usually out with a hammy?

Depends on what grade of injury it is; pull/tear/etc

Minimum - 2 weeks-ish
Maximum - Fucking ages

 

[HelloCity]

Our injury problems are actually a fucking joke . Ffs

Chelsea loads as well.

CWC and a lack of pre season?

 

[theholysmurf]

Months

Depends on the grade of it, but given his injury record recently even if it’s the lowest grade, I don’t expect to see Rodri back to starting and playing 90 mins weekly for a few months yeah

 

[madloaf]

Fuck off Neville you absolute twat

 

[Blu1]

rushed? he started back in full training in about april and his injury was a year ago

He’s been injured since & playing too many games

 

[YatesA]

2 weeks to 3 months could be anywhere

If surgery then it's up to 6 months and even if he was ready at 4 or 5 months you never risk hamstrings. Look at michael owen

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Absolutely gutted for him

 

[blueste41]

Why the Fook are we rushing him back! Ridiculous player management this. No need to play him today, he could have had 2 weeks off injury free & back stronger now he’s recovering again for prob 4 weeks.

More than happy we have Gonzales on

Pre-match Pep said the doctors thought playing today would be good for his rehabilitation, we're all good in hindsight of an injury claimed he shouldn't.

 

[wolviedinho]

It’s not just him though look at how many injuries we keep having to key players

Just bad luck.

We ain’t doing anything to harm the players in training.

 

[kaz7]

Devastated for rodders

 

[BlueMonkey79]

How long you usually out with a hammy?

Depends on the grade of the tear.

Hamstring strain recovery time varies by severity, with Grade 1 injuries healing in a few days, Grade 2 in several weeks, and Grade 3 tears taking weeks to months and possibly requiring surgery.

 

[King Jay]

He does a least one brain fart a game - and it's still to come.

Others Do too. You just don’t care about it

 

[bluemoon32]

No use blaming people at the club for his injuries, these things happen, no matter how much care you take.

 

[Beanhead]

Everytime we look like we’re going to kick on & look back to our old self something completely knocks us back. Rodri’s done in my opinion unfortunately

Oh come on. He’s just coming back from a year out. When you don’t play for ages tweaks and minor injuries are the norm as your body is getting used to being intensive again.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Lots of physios on this forum.

 

[wolviedinho]

Least we have nico instead of trying Bernie or Phillips.

 

[Ajm1985]

Knee pain has no correlation to him feeling his hamstring. You can literally see the moment it happened in this game. The touch got away from him and he stretched to retrieve it

And he was more likely to reinjure himself by not adequately resting because of the knee pain. He was fucked second half vs Monaco.

 

[Blu1]

Pre-match Pep said the doctors thought playing today would be good for his rehabilitation, we're all good in hindsight of an injury claimed he shouldn't.

He should have played this or Monaco but not both especially when he pulled out the game before.
