I don`t know the answer but a couple of you have had similar problems in the past.

Van Dijk walked off the pitch when he did his acl. Means nothing

We're a multi talented lot on BM mate. The incredible diagnostic and medical knowledge on this thread is matched only by the managerial expertise in the match day threads.

You’re forgetting financial experts. (Apologies to those who are)!!

I don’t understand how two doctors would diagnose an injury differently. Is Rodri being flown around Europe to see top knee surgeons in the hope of one saying he’ll be back in a month?

The other one is Dave on Bluemoon.
 
I noticed on the highlights Rodri was stood at the end of the tunnel watching the game surely he should’ve been strapped up on the physio table

I like that Pep says safe recovery not speedy recovery. He is thinking of the player. That is the difference between a good manager and a great manager. People management and caring. IMHO

Yes Eccles. How many times have we seen players rushed back, only to break down a few games in. I'm just praying it's a slight tear which is around 3 months..its a long shot, but until I get the news from the club I'm being positive.

I completely ruptured my ACL about 5 years ago. I walked off the pitch. Apart from severe swelling and stiffness, I was able to walk around as normal.
By the time I had a scan and saw a surgeon - 16 months, I was mountain climbing.
The ACL is like a check strap on a car door. In normal use the muscles of the knee keep the joint stable, but under extreme loads the ACL keeps the joint from hyperextension. After a complete rupture, you're not supposed to play contact sports, as blows to the back of the knee can cause hyperextension - not checked by the ACL - and thus cause further knee injuries.
Having said that I play football - chill level - every week and have done for 3 years.
In a professional athlete they'll repair any damage to preclude future injury.

The severe swelling reminds me of when I got a ball smacked right in my goolies! The bruising was horrendous and the pain just as bad. My hampton swelled up to 3 times the size. I went to the doctors the next day and asked can you please get rid of this pain and bruising, but can I please keep the swelling.?.

When I did the one in my right knee, I'd woken up in recovery at Salford Hope, & an hour later the consultant told me to see if I could walk to the toilet. I did, & when I got back he told the nurse to get me something to eat & drink.

Two hours later, I walked out of the hospital with just a bandage on my knee, without crutches. The consultant said that research shows the recovery time is dramatically reduced, the quicker you start walking.

He told me not to do any running or heavy lifting for at least two months, but I was OK to walk, use a cross trainer & exercise bike. I was doing light jogging 2 months later.

Rodri will be getting the very best care every day, so hopefully he'll keep up a decent level of fitness until he can resume jogging & doing shuttle runs.

That’s great news mate. How are you at playing DM?
 
So, the bloke who has been complaining about overusing the players, one who has probably played more than anybody else since he’s been here, for club and country, finally succumbs to a situation that he is highlighting, yet no talk whatsoever of what he is complaining about.

The schedule is absolutely fucked up these days while every one of the footballing bodies try to get their cut of the pie. None of them give a fuck about the players, or even quality of the football, all they care about is money.

No talk indeed, including from the clueless among our fans who criticized Rodri for his words. Maybe they'll say "no sympathy" since he earns a lot of money.

You can walk fairly fine even with a ruptured ACL

Either way, Lewis will be a very adequate deputy.

My only concern with that is, Rico is fast turning in a very very accomplished right back.
In the biggest games I’d opt for 2 of Bernardo, Kovacic, Gundogan. With Rico or Stones adding their presence when required.

Anyone from the lower end of the PL or some of the dross we play in the CL i’d be playing O’reily, he looks a real talent.

Hope Rodri is back next week though!

Obvs accidents happen and injuries can occur for a lot of reasons. We dont know for sure what happened or why. But im pretty certain that on balance we'll see more of these sorts of injuries over time as the schedule gets more and more packed. No matter how much you pay players there's only so much one's body can take.

Would sort of love it if City had just planted this story to get Arsenal fans overexcited though and he actually turns out at the weekend.
 
Didn't Aguero do his in a season opener against Southampton, 2012/2013 iirc? I'm sure he went down injured and it looked really serious, but then somehow he came back on the pitch and tried to run it off before being subbed. I've seen that sort of thing happen a few times where players don't realise the extent of the injury initially. I may be mistaken and it was a different injury altogether for Sergio of course?

Anyway, it was positive to see Rodri walking unaided the following day. I'd have expected crutches and/or his knee to have been heavily strapped, but then there may be a reason it's not been. Only commenting as a fan with zero medical knowledge but to me it looked positive.

Fingers crossed for good news, which at this moment in time I'd be delighted if it were "only" 3-4 months out.
 
I would assume the media thought it was an ACL injury because they heard he was off to see Dr Cugat. I'm hopeful no news is good news, as an ACL is quick to diagnose, but sadly the way he went down makes me think it's severe. It might not be the ACL but it could still be something requiring surgery and taking 12 months to return.

Hoping I'm wrong and it's a twisted knee and he's just a bit of a pussy...but Rodri is a beast and I can't see it.

Lots of examples of people being able to walk after an ACL injury, even of some players trying "to run it off"
