16 | Rodri 2024/25

There's no fucking way whatsoever he would have been sat on the bench behind Pep with his knees bent for the second half if he had torn any sort of ligament. He would be straight for an MRI and on the first plane to Dr Cugat. Looked like a Jar to me. I've done it before myself, it feels really painful and 'weird' like something has gone wrong but I was fine the day after.

My hard and fast rule for injuries - the more a player moves when on the ground, the less severe the injury.

As soon as I saw Rodri was rolling around grabbing his knee with both hands, clutching his face etc. I felt confident it wasn't going to be a season ender. When people get seriously hurt they stay still and don't move anything.

Firstly, good luck in your recovery.

But with respect this is a different situation to yours; Rodders will have had a team of world class physios and medical professionals inspect his knee in the immediate aftermath, and I don't think they'd have sent him back out, without any wrapping or brace, if they had an inkling it was severe. I accept this is the optimistic view, but I'm confident it isn't season-ending.

Either way, let's hope I'm right and you're wrong!

If it's torn there is no more damage that can be done so whilst I get your point, they would normally act on precaution and crutch it up just in case but if they know its completely gone then

I'm sure I heard in the past that Wes Brown played with no ACL in one knee (for how long I don't know)

You get by it by doing work to strengthen all the muscles around the ACL to compensate

Correct, the rest of your tendons and muscles have to take the load which probably will lead to more injuries and problems later in life mind you
 
Decision not to sign a replacement for him and also for Haaland looks idiotic now.
