Re: Sergio Aguero
Don't mean to sound like an ass but "strains" and "tears" are actually the same thing. Strains just specifically refer to tearing of muscles or tendons.
The severity of injury is determined by the level i.e 1, 2 or 3 of which there are then further subgrades. Grades just refer to the approximate % of fibres that have been torn. It's anyone's guess as to recovery time unless you've seen his scan. Could be days could be 2 weeks.... He injured himself in full flight (most common for hamstring injuries), he's also least likely to have pulled it during deceleration - quads take over most of the braking force during this phase of movement. Easily walked off the pitch though. Barely noticed a limp, so good signs there at least

I know right! Sprinters are major pussies at times! But, I was on funding and got it for free....so i thought "might as well" lol

Most minor one i had actually just turned out to be cramp, felt a twinge, may have caught a couple of fibres but scan showed nothing. 3 days rest, some hamstring conditioning and general mobilisations I was back, fully fit and sprinting at 100% in 5 days and that's without the level of care these guys have got. This is also a fairly common type of injury - based on this he may make Chelsea on Monday night. Hope this eases anyone's fears/questions regarding hamstring injuries!
It can be strained or torn , often the most stress occurs with sprinting and having to stop suddenly.
In this case I think its strained , for if it was torn he would have felt a lot more pain and would have had to be assisted off the ground.
My best guess 2-3 weeks largely due to mot wishing to bring him back too soon and risk doing it again and actually tearing it.
