Benjamin Mendy (Back In Training)

Technically you don't have to have surgery - there are non-invasive treatments involving intense physical therapy. And apparently, there are Hall of Fame NFL players without an ACL in one knee. But it is very risky - the ACL provides stability to the knee, and you risk an even more serious injury like meniscus damage if you opt for no surgery. If you do have surgery, it is normally 3 months before you can start any sort of running and 6 months before high stress sports can even be considered.

Ah well, no use moaning about it then. Let's hope he comes back just as strong as he was this time last week.

How long missed ?

More than likely the Season. Could be back April time at a pinch. That's a shitter for the lad as he's been superb in the short time we've had him

Yup - our injury curse strikes again. The only silver lining is Danilo and Delph are possibly better defensively, which might be important in big games like this weekend. If we (pray!) have no more major injuries, our squad is still strong enough to win at least the League.

Very bad injury for a forward or fullback - as I've read, it eventually affects acceleration/pace of an athlete in 50% of cases.

Benjamin will undergo surgery tomorrow in Barcelona, and everyone at the Club wishes him a speedy recovery.

mancity.com will bring you regular updates regarding his rehabilitation

Why do we keep buying crocks? Mendy and Gundogan were injured when we bought them. Rodwell, Delph, Bony, all made of glass.
