I did my ACL in January and at the time I tried to run it off but it felt like my knee had dislocated so I felt I had done something serious.
I went hospital who didn't find anything on the X-Ray so tried to play again around 3 week later as it felt ok but again it popped on me. I went to my GP who said everything felt ok and it was probably just bruised ligaments so try and play again after 2-3 weeks rest.
It was only when a few weeks later it collapsed on me again they referred me for a MRI and they found I had completely torn my ACL and it probably needs re-building - 6 weeks on crutches and probably months without playing potentially! If they can repair it then it will be half that but depends.
I am awaiting my op and am walking round normally with no discomfort but I know if I tried to play and turned on it then it would collapse on me again.

Hopefully this will give you some insight but basically running or walking in a straight line for long periods would ache but it wouldn't be until you try and turn on it that you would feel real pain.

This isn't a scaremongering post but in all honesty I don't think we will see Sergio again until for 6/8 weeks. You never want to see anybody go over on their knee but why couldnt have been that c*nt shrek.

"After surgery, no sports are allowed for 6 to 7 months. "

Sounds bad. No real support for it sounding bad other than Wikipedia/Trevor Sinclair/Michael Johnson/Paul Lake... Paul Gascoigne/Alan Shearer/Roy Keane/Ruud van Nistlehorse/Roberto Baggio/Xavi/Raul/Jagielka.

David Schwarz, who broke the record for quickest return and scored 3 goals in his first game back, but then re-ruptured in his second game back.

That's very encouraging. I've been quietly worrying about worst case scenario- a long period out and a slight loss of pace. He'd be nothing without that burst of pace over five yards.

You mean nothing apart from his amazing dribbling skills and eye for goal I presume

He goes past people because he has explosive pace, not because he 'dribbles'. I know you're being argumentative for the sake of it, Hamman Picallili, but anyone who knows the game will concur. he would be another

Owen/fowler

if he lost his pace. Being able to bang them in isn't effective unless you can get away from your man.

Fuck the shut up your scaring me.

I hope it is not an ACL. I don’t know if it has been mentioned in this thread but it was the 20th Anniversary of Paul Lakes last game yesterday. And remembering what he went through I really hope it is not ACL.

There is no good ligament to tear in the knee.

I'm just getting back from a Ruptured ACL. As with others, it wasn't spotted on the X-ray, only when the did an arthoscopy did they see it and I rolled around like a big girl like Sergio did. But I walked off the pitch (5 a side). The difference was the swelling didn't come down for 8 weeks (they made mistakes) I think the club will be light years away from anything he will get from a hospital hospital. I'm just getting back after 14 months, but there again I'm 55 ! I don't think they will know for sure for a week or so.

Prepare for the worst, hope for the best. He'll be a massive miss, but a fully fit and firing Tevez is a bonus. If we were hit with this in the middle of last season we'd have been fucked. Hopefully, Sergio is right and it isn't too bad, a few weeks I can take, months I can not.

He has already confirmed there is no serious injury to the knee

No need for the scare-mongering.

Tell that to the all time European competition goalscorers Raul and inzaghi :grin: also guys like huntelaar have scored tonnes of goals but are slow as fuck, I suppose it would be more a case of whether he could adapt his game or not. Do agree with your assessment of him though.
