Not neccesarily, wasn't Eduardos a fractured distal tib/fib ? Petrovs injury involved the meniscus/ligament which can be much more chronic in terms of whether it heals or not. Petrovs had trouble with his knee before he came to City. Can't believe he was allowed to play for Bulgaria so soon after recovering from an injury, the club should have said NO !!!.
just as an aside and i know people will say who the fuck cares but i have heard that owen hargreaves will never play again. not heard the petrov one. but honestly hope both these rumours are rubbish. ok he plays for the rags but i rated hargreaves and we have obviously missed petrov this season. last season we had no right sided attacking players and we think we have sorted that with swp and now we have no left sided ones to whip the ball in.

Bad enough when Ireland gets asked to play on the left.

As I recall, Petrov did his medial ligaments. He's already had anterior ligament damage repaired surgically ( injury he was coming back from when the Bulgarian manager decided back to back international games would be a good run out -tosser)
His comeback, given his age, has to be in doubt. But that's not necessarily from a physical injury standpoint. Petrov's game is all about pace and to get that back he would need at least 9 months to a year post op. You can't surgiccally repair knee ligaments without compromising muscle and it will waste further during recovery period. He might be jogging now and in 6 to 8 weeks running. Give it until March and, he'll be really building muscle and geting fit. But will he ever properly sprint again? You have to say it's a doubt. He might, but it's a hell of a lot of work and determination he needs now.
