Shit pray for speedy recovery
no news on KDB, hoping that's a good thing.
In 96 I tore my knee cartilage all the way across the joint and sprained the ligaments. I had surgery, but only to the cartilage (they cut out all the loose/hanging off my knee tissue) as the ligaments were sprained but still intact. I'm therefore assuming that Jesus has only sprained the ligament with no tearing. If they'd found a tear, I presume they would have operated because previous damage that heals creates a point of weakness that will tear under certain stresses and strains. Torn ligament heals - but not with new ligament - scar tissue forms (not ideal for a pro footballer).Took 2-3 months for me to get back to normal after I did my MCL (this was separate from the previous, much more severe ACL/MCL/Meniscu4s injury).
But I didn’t have some of that best medical treatment the world has to offer, so perhaps he can get back in 6-8 weeks.
