This type of injury can be quite serious especially for an athlete, depending on the size of any tear/rip, Generally if its large a fair bit of the cartlidge is removed... that can then cause shit as time goes on.

Just hope its a fairly small tear that's more of a niggle than anything too big.

The only thing "typical City" about this is that he got hurt on his debut. You never want to cut first and ask questions later and you especially don't want to do it on the young. City did the prudent thing by trying to wait this out but it just so happened to be that rest did not alleviate the problem. It's unfortunate but there's nothing any of the parties could have done differently. I'm sure Balo wasn't carrying this injury and City played their hand properly. We've still got some choice up front, having to "fall back" on Tevez and Ade isn't exactly a doom and gloom scenario. Chin up lads, just a momentary set back.

Calm down...

I had this (keyhole) Arthroscopy op about four years ago.

20 mins, then out of the hospital 2 hrs later unaided.

this is quite true its a nothing op thats if you want to call it an op ,the downer is the recovery peiod for a sportsman is longer than for joe blogs, id say 2 weeks recovery, two weeks to regain match fitness 'on a good day'

I don't want to sound like the complete voice of doom, but it is not quite as plain sailing as that:

How successful are meniscus repairs?
The success of a meniscus repair is most dependent on two factors. First, if the meniscus repair is attempted on a tear in the central portion of cartilage (where the blood supply is poor), it is likely to fail. Second, patients must be compliant with the post-operative rehabilitation after a meniscus repair.

If the meniscus repair fails (i.e. the repaired cartilage falls apart), which happens between 20 to 40% of the time, a second surgery may be necessary to remove the re-torn meniscus.
 
I wonder if he will get the same dogs abuse on here that RSC has been getting? Injured as soon as he joins us and, if some people are to be believed injured before he even got here!! Was he carrying this injury from his time out in March?
