Aguero injures hamstring on international duty

[Blue Mooner]

Absolutely disgusted with Argentina for the total lack of regard for the players welfare. He came off against Newcastle with a slight injury. He should never have played and now we have lost him for 8 weeks according to the papers this morning,

That said I have complete faith in bony and could give him the run of games he needs to hit form. People forget he was prolific for Swansea.

Hardly the fault of Argentina. If Kun declared himself fit and their medical experts confirmed his availability, they were hardly likely to say "you just rest up fella". There is only one person to blame and that is the lad himself, and only then if he declared himself fit knowing he was carrying something.

What's that time wise? 6 weeks or so?

Granted I'm no Aguero and haven't got access to the facilities, treatments and support he'll get but...I had 'grade 2' calf muscle tear just over 6 weeks ago and I reckon I'm still at least 2 weeks from being able to play footy again. There can be a massive difference in grade 2 tears though, my physio said a grade 2 is anything between a 10% and 90% tear and reckoned mine was about 75% - let's hope Sergio's is nearer 10%!

He wasn't carrying a hamstring injury according to both City and Argentina.

Sorry, but you're wrong, this is a player being asked to play for his country, do you really expect the player himself,
carrying at that point, a slight niggle, to say, i can run but nah I'm not playing got a slight niggle. That is where the expertise of medical professionals should consider the players welfare, examine the issue, ask where any discomfort might be and then assess whether it is safe for the player to play. If not they should tell the player it's better that he doesn't play for xyz reasons. To expect the player to diagnose himself and say well I've got some discomfort but I can still run but I'm going to declare myself injured is ridiculous in the extreme. These are comitted professionals being asked to play for their country. Of course they are going to play unless medical experts and a manager considering the players welfare jump in.

I repeat it is wilful neglect on the part of Argentina and without any regard for the players or MCFC's interests. (Who pay his wages don't forget) completely disgusted.

we will agree to disagree then. For me, Kun should have declared himself unfit if he thought he was expsoing himself to injury because he wasn't 100%

Not sure what point you are making. I said it wasn't Argentin'a fault that he picked up this injury if he declared himself fit when he wasn't. If he was fit and still picked up the injury, again, not sure that is again down to Argentina

It couldn't be clearer, he tore his hamstring not his adductor so the blame game is irrelevant. The injury he was carrying was to his adductor.

Messi was out was quoted as saying "Kun must wear my no.10 shirt"

That put a lot of pressure and expectation on him and probably made it even harder for him to pull out cos of a slight niggle

So you are saying kun played knowing he was carrying an injury of sorts. If that is the case, he is solely to blame if he declared himself fit. It's irrevelant whether this is a new or worsening an existing injury.
