Hope he makes a speedy recovery and his first game back will be the derby.

Watching the All or nothing doc it struck me how involved Kev was in nearly all our key moments. I still think we will do well this season, also it is better to happen for the first 3 months and not the last 3 months.We hardly ever seem to be without a top player for some reason and just have to cope. Kev is probably one of the top three players you would not want out but hopefully this one injury won't derail our season. It does go to show though why it is so hard to win multiple trophies in a season or back to back titles: our massive success last season owed something to having Kev available most of the time and playing so well; he did show some signs of overwork so this rest may allow him to fully recharge.

I dont know anything about cruciate ligaments. I'm just wondering if the fact that KDB has suffered the same injury twice in a couple of years is indicative of a problem or weakness and if this is likely to happen again.
We will miss him without doubt but fortunately we have a deep squad and I have no doubt Pep will re-jig the formation to compensate for his absence. We looked pretty good against Chelsea and Arsenal without him so I don't think there is any reason to be overly concerned.
That is also my concern, particularly given that he wasn’t involved in any kind of challenge or even overly onerous sprinting or turning

Probably the understatement of the year!!Even last season we had long term injuries to key players. Mendy, Stones, Kun all seemed to miss large parts and add to that Silva missed a lot due to his family. We coped well last season so hopefully we will do so the same. Players like Kev really stepped up last season, including the likes of Delph, so now time for Bernardo / Foden to do the same.
Watching the documentary on prime and its any wonder we had any players left at one point last season. Quite a remarkable job last season coping with that.Probably the understatement of the year!!

The juggernaut will keep on rolling and he'll jump back on when fit.
Ok. You are probably right.I only disagree with you when you talk shite. This is one of those occasions. You will also see that I rarely reply to your output...

Pep in his interview says kdb out for 2.5 to 3 months, so that's slightly better vibes.
Back for the derby?

I'll start this off by saying I know nothing about knee injuries but will he get it operated on next summer to stop any reaccurence of the injury?

I don't think there is anything to operate on,i suspect it will be a tailored approach to strengthening the area and continued focus on such.I'll start this off by saying I know nothing about knee injuries but will he get it operated on next summer to stop any reaccurence of the injury?
