Deal agreed with Bayern Munich for Leroy Sane - €60m (including add-ons)

I did mine and drove home (after playing on) ... It hurt later though jeez.

I went back on but came off as soon as I tried to turn and nearly fainted!! Drove home though like you. The doctor said my knee looked like car crash injuries. ACL and cartlige gone. Never played again apart from a kick about with my lad and even then it flares up sometimes and I’m in pain for a day or two

Anyone any idea of the time frame for an injury such as this?

The median lay- off times after ACLreconstruction were 201.5 (IQR 58.0) days (6.6 months) to training and 225.0 (IQR 80.3) days (7.4 months) to match play.

Depends on the severity.
I've had a meniscus tear and I was back running in 6 weeks, ACL is more severe.
I'd say a minimum of 4 months and a range of 4 to 6 months at it's worst.
What gives me some hope is that he walked up the stairs at Wembley but that was horrific from our medical staff to allow that to happen.

Would that be for an entirely torn ligament or for any ACL-related surgery?

Edit: sorry for insisting

 

[Champions again in 2012]

Bayern Munich sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic on Leroy Sané’s injury: “He is a Manchester City player. It [the injury] is sad and I’m sorry. We wish him a speedy recovery. I hope you understand we won’t comment [on the interest in signing him].” [via @altobelli13]

Good of them to recognise 'he’s a Manchester City player' - pity they didn’t respect that from May until after confirmation of the seriousness of Sane's injury

An average of all the possibilities would be 6-7 months I think. But we don’t know for sure yet. best case would be 4-5 months. Worst case his season is over.

Roughly what I predicted: February in training and late March in play.

Unfortunately I received the news that he would miss most of this upcoming season , he will probably never be the same player again after this injury and be lucky to get more than 50 mill for him next year with also only having 1 year let next year

Rubbish he will sign a new contract with us.

Wish him speedy recovery.
