The one player in the entire squad you'd pick last to get that injury given our lack of cover there. That's the majority of the season if not the entirety of it he's missing. There's not just the recovery but the strengthening and conditioning and then match sharpness to regain after so long out., he won't be rushed back, see you next season Mendy.
There's also going to be question marks about him coming back the same player from this. He's highly explosive and you're far more likely to get a repeat injury once you've done it once. Lets hope he can get himself back to normal however long it takes.
Txiki needs to be getting a replacement lined up now for the 1st January, Big fan of Delph but we're not winning the league without a recognised left back. Crazy situation to be in and always likely to bite us in the arse taking that kind of risk on the fitness of one player.
