Wild speculation from 1 month to career ending injury so far on this thread!
I think he is vitally important to us and would be a massive loss.
My complete guess is....As he was running around for 5 mins after the tackle, as he was at game and allowed to hobble up the stairs and as he is ok to wait until tomorrow before going to sees Peps knee Specialist in Barcelona it won't be as bad as feared. Back in December
I've done my cruciate twice mate. Intense pain then you think oh it's ok and are able to run around a bit etc. First time I played for about 10 mins before realising I'd done something bad.
 
Great player that he is, anyone who saw him limp out of the France England match earlier in the summer, and with us buying him with an injury, will have known his knee was likely to give up in a big way at some point, just hope he recovers quickly
Absolute cobblers a good 50% of matches someone goes off injured and 95% of these the injury is trivial.
It was a friendly match and no one watching could reasonably know the extent of injury or likelihood of recovery.
 
Only City could buy an injury prone left back to replace TWO left backs and then have to use an even more injury prone midfielder as his emergency cover. Delph will not let anyone down when he's on the pitch, but how long will he be on the pitch for? Already this isn't far off his longest spell of being fit for City, and it's only a handful of games! Please sign more cover in January. Get Michael Ball on a free again if we have to! Anyone!
 
obviously Pep saying he might look for a replacement in Jan hardly allays anyone's fears but there is some rampant speculation on here!

Highly unlikely the medico's and Mendy wouldn't already know if he has done his cruciate 5 days after the incident.
 
Crutches are a precaution and only used to avoid wait bearing whilst the injury is fully assessed. BM will be able to walk perfectly normally, but when you're worth over fifty million they won't take any risks.

Didn't fool Inspector Ducker of the DT! A more than sizeable chunk of his report this morning is about the Mendy injury and how 'the months and months and months' out will impinge very unfavourably on our season. But then goes on to make the point that Fabulous Delph was an adequate replacement. Delph will be a decent left back as far as defensive duties go, but I can't see him burning down the wing like Menders!

One thing that amuses me is the player scoring these people indulge in. If you add up the individual player scores Shaktar scored two more than we did! How does that work? Must be down to the one or two players who outscored their opposite numbers?
