Rodri Injury Updates | City say ligament injury (pg117)

[MillsyTheMosher]

Confirmed now by Ornstein & Pol Ballus.


I am genuinely devastated

We've nobody that can do the job he does.

Best player in the world taken down by an ACL injury, I know he's had some rest but there are too many games.

Monumental effort to win this league now.

And, although the injury incident itself was not directly down to an Arsenal player, I still maintain their targeting him in the game from the kickoff increased the chances of him picking up an injury.

I have been there myself, literally playing his position (though, obviously at a far, far lower level to the best player in the world at present), and every opposition player leaving the boot in on you, putting in a snide elbow or knee, or pushing or pulling you from behind whenever the ref has his back turned changes the way you play (or just move about the pitch), and it can absolutely lead to injuries when that happens. FFS, Havertz put his forearm in to his throat straight from kickoff—Rodri would have had been expecting everyone of them to have a go any time they were near him from that point forward and he probably started to try to compensate to protect himself. It goes back to what you are taught early on that in 50/50 challenge situations it is usually the less committed player that gets injured. And that applies to when you start changing how you run and shift and play more generally to avoid getting crocked by thugs.

They all knew what they were doing. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were instructed to do it. And they are all happy to see him out of the season, the absolute cowardly cunts.

People are so defeatist pep will find a way around it kova and gundo will have to fill the void. Remember when gundo had to fill in for fernandinho last 16 games of the season people threw in the towel. We won all 16 games I think and completed a domestic treble. We are a squad of world class players 1 player doesn't define our season.

Neglecting to sign a suitable foil to Rodri and turning to a soon-to-be 34yo Gundo instead looked like an error at the time.

Truly wise people don't use past events to look wise.

I'm clinging on to him walking off the pitch yesterday, in a lot of pain obviously but he was still putting weight on it. Surely if it was an acl he would have been carried off with no weight poison his leg

 

[Sir Joe Aguero]

What a ridiculous comment.

Should have a back-up though. We’ve been saying for 2 years about how important he is and how much football he plays.

Hopefully Jacob Wright gets the nod there tomorrow and bosses it.

Please tell me Phillips isn't coming back

 

[vmsuhail]

wonder if club is going to the market in january? surely we dont depend on injury prone kovacic and 34 year old gundo for 70 matches this season

We need to shoe-horn Nunes to play the role.

The Athletic all but confirming it.
