Benjamin Mendy (Back In Training)

[Andrew___K]

He's ruptured it hasn't he?

Yes. So out for 6-9 months I guess.

 

[Daz_Blue]

Tear is 6-9 months, rupture is 8-12 weeks according to some research I just done....

 

[SWP's back]

The most annoying thing is the fact is was a stupid lazy challenge he didn't need to make.

 

[M12Blue]

He's ruptured it hasn't he?

Yes so likely season done, responding to question on non snapped ligament

 

[Uptop]

How typical is it that basically the only weakness in the squad gets punished a few games into the season.

I mean he has been injury prone in the past but this is just pure bad luck.

Delph looked pretty damn good but wouldnt expect him to perform that well consistently, also he is very injury prone himself. Danilo is more than good enough defensively but isnt the same threat going forward. Its a shame we dont have a LB equivalent of Maffeo.

 

[Oils]

I'm no expert on these things but isn't a rupture better than a tear...so 3 months maybe rather than the season?

 

[Daz_Blue]

From US medical journal

Ruptured means partially torn, and torn means completely torn. But often these words are used interchangeably by many people.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

He says he will be out a couple of months, so maybe we might see him back by January.

 

[hcblue95]

Please can someone with the knowledge give a time frame for a rupture is it less time?

 

[ctid83]

Fuck sake! Gutted!
What a setback!

 

[Ballymagash Blue]

He says a couple of months himself. Can we take any hope from that?

 

[Daz_Blue]

We should employ him to head our PR dept while he is recovering

 

[Decepticon]

I guess we should go for Ryan Bertrand in Januray now...

 

[Blue Coop]

How many games between now and Jan?

 

[Daz_Blue]

Aaron Martin in January ?

 

[kaz7]

Please can someone with the knowledge give a time frame for a rupture is it less time?

No point speculating on time,it's individual
Have to buy in jan now,madness not too

Other way round daz

 

[Wallaceinthecheapseats.]

Wounded ,genuinely gutted.

 

[Daz_Blue]

Step forward Delphinio

Well I guess thats what the doctors have told him so yes some hope. He has seen the doctor that seems to have the best record with this stuff.
