Benjamin Mendy (Back In Training)

[ayrshire_blue]

I don't think it's necessarily a question of who to believe.

It could be that he has been subject of a fitness test thinking the injury would recover in a few days but the pain has worsened and the extent is only now being realised.

 

[TheThirdDeano]

Maybe the fitness test was passed by we were worried that because of his history with knees that playing so soon could exacerbate it and so want a deeper look before giving him the okay.

One can dream...

 

[BlueDejong]

Yeah, WHAT THE FUCK

 

[Cotton Weave Blue]

He was playing pool with Ederson and Danilo 2 hours ago.

Paranoia overload from City fans. This mornings news has come from the journalists closest to the club.

 

[cookster]

Our players like Kompany are always a week away from fitness........ for ten weeks.

An article on that Doctor fella Pep trusts.

I'll just go on what pep said for now

 

[MillionMilesAway]

or things have moved on?t

Possible, yes.
In which case the City site is not reporting it.

Paranoia overload from City fans. This mornings news has come from the journalists closest to the club.

I'm not following, paranoid about what? And when you say this mornings news, are you talking about the news that he may be crocked long term?

We’re not very lucky when it comes to new signings and injuries.

 

[Fred_Quimby]

Thing is Mendy didn’t need to make that tackle anyway. Doom brain.

 

[pavelsrnicek]

Someone on twitter yesterday said he'd done his cruciate and he was roundly abused. If it's ligament damage hopefully it's of the 1-2 month issue rather than 6-9 month.

Danilo and Delph will be busy!

 

[Pringletelli]

The reports are fresh from after Pep's presser so they are a real concern. Let's hope the scan reveals nothing too serious, he's the one player we cannot afford a long term injury to.

 

[Delphacito]

I seen someone say on Shitter last night he was out for the season. Bloody hope not though this isn't great, hopefully more precautinary

Obviously they know fuck all since City is sending Mendy to Barcelona since they don’t actually know how long he’ll be out (if he’s out).

 

[SWP's back]

Stupid fucking tackle that was only ever going to be a foul and he's injured himself to boot. Fucking typical ad it's the area of the squad we are weakest.

 

[I.bleed.blue]

You know what, I trust the manager and staff to do the best thing for the Club and player - that includes maybe getting an expert second opinion. Also we have to assume that we will have pressures due to injuries, suspensions, dips in form, etc over the season. I feel more confident that this squad has the quality, adaptability and spirit to cope with those situations than perhaps last year.
Here's hoping it is a relatively minor knock for the lad and that he gets the right treatment to get him back when he is ready. In the meantime the squad will adapt and i feel will keep performing at a top level.

wtf are edi and danilo doing in Barcelona they've got a game tonight :)

Always the worry it's lost in translation or things have worsened over the last 24 hours.

 

[gazzaa2]

Why was he allowed back on the field? Why was he sat in the dugout for the second half? Why is he tweeting after the game that he's fine? Why's Guardiola stating that he's okay?

Amateur hour if he's done his ligaments.
