Gundogan - Back training 26th June '17

After partially rupturing my ACL a year ago I now haven't got a proper one!!!

You can get by without it, even pro footballers as long as they have intense physio and constantly work on strengthening other parts of the knee to compensate

Apparently Wes Brown has got a deficient ACL in at least 1 of his knees

We have definitely wasted this squad. just look at Yaya, thinner fitter and more hardworking than he's been for years. If he hadn't been allowed to get fat and lazy, we could have seen another season similar to 13/14 and with it another title.

Imagine what Pep would have gotten out of Dzeko with the same extra dedication and KDB putting in crosses?

Yep.

The two Ferns, plus Yaya, in a Pep side as part of a 5 man midfield with fullbacks helping out etc, could be well worth a go imo, vs the top sides, but I expect Pep will want a more full on attacking unit.
 
Does anyone even know for sure if a previously dislocated kneecap would necessarily impact on his current injury? Perhaps I'm clutching at straws but couldnt it be different knee parts affected by the new injury? A lot of people are declaring his career over without 1) knowing what has happened yet 2) if his previous injury is actually relevant

Sure an ACL injury is bad enough in itself, but can anyone (and this is a genuine question) confirm whether or not it would have definitely been damaged when he dislocated his kneecap?

I have an answer

It will definitely have had an effect. Your acl stops your anterior translation of the tibia on the femur. It's probable that as soon as Gundogan was fit to play again, the specialist rehab on his knee cap stopped when it should have carried on for at least another 6 months
