Rodri Injury Updates | City say ligament injury (pg117)

How do they still not know what the exact issue is?

It’s an update but not really an update too

Which ligament though?
Medial ligament 6 or 7 weeks, ACL rest of the season.

I find it interesting that we haven't said which ligament.

Hopefully it's the Medial.

They haven't said it's ruptured either

Fuck

tbh nothing burger of a statement.

What's strange is that there shouldn't be any confusion at this stage about which ligament he's injured.

My guess is it's an ACL injury, but there's a difference of opinion on the severity and necessary treatment/recovery time.

Obviously they want him back as soon as possible (returning in March rather than June could be the difference between winning the league and CL or not), but not at the expense of his long-term fitness.

Is the vagueness to protect players medical information?

Or to temper expectations if it isn't a full ACL tear?

Seems like a it's a bit of a tactical release of information on the injury. To keep press speculation guessing. I hope it's a minor injury for the lad... But it's the hope that does you in as a fan :/ !?

That statement doesn’t tell us anything new. Everybody knew he had a ligament injury. What we didn’t know is which ligament and how serious. We still don’t.
