The trouble with soft tissue injuries is that surgery for these type of tears doesn't mean its less likely to happen again.
Surgery normally means a longer time on the sidelines to allow the scar tissue to heel and knit.
VK has had a history of soft tissue injuries and often tears the muscle in the tackle.
I think this is the fourth in the past two seasons alone.
It's the same with players with suspect ligaments they often do more than one in their careers and we know that ACL's and many PCL's are season ending.
He says he won't change the way he plays but alas he might have to if he wants to extend his career.
No Silva , No VK No Garcia, No Ferno ( maybe ) , No Jovetic ( maybe ) against Spurs?
TH6061 will be hard to stop number crunching in the lead up to the game.
I get what you are saying mate but when I was 13, I tore the ligaments in my knee, just over a year later I did it again, at 17 they gave me the option of surgery and touch wood I haven't suffered since, although I did stop playing footy at this point but got into weightlifting.
I agree regarding THFC we are gona be bamboozled by graphs ;)
One of the best players potentially at least that plays for the AFL team I support has done his ACL four times and he hasn't turned 23 yet.
No guarantees he won't do it again assuming he plays again.
What VK has to do is learn how to manage his body better on match days.
I really fear for the bloke longevity wise and Belgium might do some damage in Rio but he won't last the tournament or even get there unless the medico's and VK himself realise that he has to change the way he tackles or prey tell avoids the challenge altogether which clearly would make his less effective.
He is a class act when on song which is most of time with us.
While not a verbose leader he is the best at inspiring others with his actions along with Zabba and just on that point why Zabba isn't captain when VK is out all the time defies all logic to me.
