Fucking awful.

Was at the game yesterday
Anybody got a video/gif of the tackle?

 

[Stelea]

Better than an ACL but knackers up the rest of this season and his World Cup

 

[Jezza11]

He took a lot of punishment in that game, and the referee let it happen.

Past 2 games we’ve had the shit kicked out of us and the refs done fuck all. 4 players injured in that time

 

[Gobshiight]

Well that's fucking awful news

Wasn't the worst challenge they made last night but can't help thinking that dickhead Oliver enabled it

 

[paulchapo]

All these injuries teams are getting are a result of the double whammy of extra fixtures and competitions and this absurd directive of allowing games to be more physical. Or in our case allowing other teams to kick fuck out of us with impunity.

 

[Stelea]

What is up with Dias?

I’ve just watched it. He won the ball and didn’t even seem to plant his foot to create a bend that’d cause a break. The only contact was his own trailing left leg seemingly hitting the back of his right leg but can’t imagine that’s caused a break. He’s then planted his right leg and then hopped immediately back onto his right leg. He tackled Gusto who didn’t make contact with him at all.

Just very unfortunate. Typical.

About the 48 minute of the game. 2nd half link here: https://www.footballorgin.com/manchester-city-v-chelsea-full-match-4-january-2026/

Gutted for the lad, possibly miss the world cup as well. With Dias injured we really to get Guehi in asap.

 

[Burtonblue]

What is up with Dias?

Probably strained his groin getting his leg over that bird….

 

[pudge]

Well fuck that

 

[DMA's]

Feel for him. Missing the World Cup must be horrendous feeling

 

[Ryan.98.]

Time the club put out a statement about the utterly absurd double standard of refereeing.

 

[youngbob]

Ouch. Now the Guehi talk really makes sense.

 

[deano ou812]

Sickening this for Josko especially with the World Cup in the summer..This injury with a number of others is on that cnut Webb and his corrupt officials who if applied the rules/laws correctly we may have avoided 1 or 2 injuries possibly..

 

[Burtonblue]

Ouch. Now the Guehi talk really makes sense.

Unfortunately will be paying top dollar for him now
Palace know we’re desperate

 

[Xhavenjoe]

And world cup year as well.
Feel for him

Pep or anyone at the club - any chance you can mention this was all because the ref couldn't control the game please

Gvardiol has a tibial fracture

And according to a quick google search this is a serious injury

Depends what you mean by serious, no tibial fracture is completely trivial, but there are a lot of different places where it can break and degrees of severity.

I haven't seen the video but at the match it looked like he was bothered by his ankle so it may be a medial malleolus which could be worse though it's probably season ending.

 

[Lee the Blue]

Tibia is the thicker bone of the two in your shin and thus harder to break. I wouldn't count on seeing Josko again this season. The club needs to pay a premium to get Guehi in immediately in regards to the rest of this season and beyond, given Stones, Ake and Ruben cannot seem to stay fit for a season. Indeed the former 2 are goners in the summer anyway so there's a clear need here.
