Rodri Injury Updates | TNT & ESPN reporting ACL | Still nothing official

[DMA's]

From Rodri to him is like going from a Range Rover to a Toyota Aygo.

There’s got to be far better options in our squad. Grealish for one!

Pretty sure Bernardo will be utilised in midfield now alongside kovacic or Gundo. Mcatee may get a chance out wide especially with bobb out

Pep immediately highlighted areas of weakness in his game and didn't seem overly happy he had joined.

Pep started him in a hugely important game at Everton after Christmas. He must have seen something to start him ahead of Kova in that game. Wouldn't say Pep was unhappy. He's not a typical Pep player in terms of close control, but Pep appreciates his versatility and, imo, he will get more chances this season.

You will know. Its what did for Colin Bell, Paul Lake, and Erling's dad when Roy Keane did him. And in a big ball of karma Keane did his too. Shearer did his. Gascoine in that FA cup final. Loads of players but these days it is recoverable with top surgery and careful rehab. It did used to be pretty much the end but it can be overcome now and has been with success among lots of players. Its tough rehab. Basically that ligament is small but tough and is the main short piece that runs right through the middle of the knee, about an inch or so long only it cant be fixed once gone. They generally twine hamstring and thread it through the gap and attach it to the start of the calf as a replacement. And all that needs to settle and then strengthen to be one workable strong and flexible piece.

They drill a hole through both bones and then thread the hamstring through it and screw into position in both bones. That’s why it’s a 9 month rehab whilst it naturally attaches into place.

I’m having mine done next week so I’ll report back!

never thought I'd ever say this but I'd rather Liverpool or rags win the league than Arsenal after seeing how they intentionally injured Rodri - utter scum cunts

Haha no chance in hell. Dippers and rags are the worst. Have people forgotten how the Dippers attacked our team bus for no reason? Fuck those cunts.

Same, but the hope is fading. Ornstein did say that the time out is yet to be determined, but we seem to know enough that it will be lengthy.

He's clearly got a significant injury but fingers crossed for the best case scenario

I know people have said you can walk after doing your ACL but you'd really expect if he'd properly ruptured it he wouldn't be walking unaided with a bit of a limp 24 hours later

I was thinking last night if we dont hope red scousers win it! Felt weird but surprised I’m not alone in this thinking.

I wondered what they did for athletes. My husband used a hamstring for one of his full tears and then a donor ACL when he did the other one. I know they can also use patellar tendons.

Had mine repaired in 1997 with my patellar tendon but I think that’s old school.

His girlfriend rather

Most probably, or has Rodri himself, quite funnily for a Spaniard calls her, “The Missis”:)

Macca..
Its the hope that kills you.
Definite season ender mate

Yeah I think deep down I know it's the ACL but that little bit in you thinks it might be less serious.
