He walked off the pitch, that tells me it's not the acl that's gone, I'd say he's torn the medial ligament and that's about 4 to 6 weeks recovery, I did mine about 2 years ago and it felt like my knee exploded, shit me up n made me a bit teary...... Keeping positive about kun though, like I said the fact he didn't need a stretcher tells you something.
Asked my brother who is a doctor in seattle and asked him as he deals with a lot of sports injuries as football is very popular out there ... told me if it was worst case scenario of a torn ACL he would NOT want to get up and walk because it feels as if your knee is going to buckle any moment so you would ALWAYS gets stretchered off for that... he says your knee simply cannot handle your weight and a person is too scared to walk.
He did say sports physio's are top class and even on the pitch in a matter of minutes they can figure out if it is a season out or weeks-months out, but with Sergio walking with a limp and the physio asking him to get up, my brother said he has prbably anything from a strain to a partial tear which means one of the posters said 5-6 weeks out, (just like Silva), I would probably say sounds about right...
Personally I think the tears were more of disappointment because Kun knows he was in the form of his life, now if he was in tears and stretchered I would be a lot more worried... my brother, who is also a City fan thinks with Pellers confirming it is Serg's knee ligaments which have a problem, thinks end of Jan is when we'll see our lad back...
Someone this forum said dont ask me how but 5-6 weeks for sure... I would be inclined to agree especially after chatting with my borther who watched the game too.
