Correct, he dislocated his knee cap not his knee, there's a vast difference and is the reason he'll be back at the end of August and is nothing to worry about.All the reports that I read indicated he had a dislocated patella not a dislocated knee.. The disruption to ligaments may not be as severe and there need be no disruption to the cartilages.
At the end of the day though we have not seen a medical report nor know the extent of the injury.

As regards his back injury as far as I can see anywhere he came back from that in Oct 2014(?) and has never had a recurrence.
He said himself the ligament got stetched so not torn and also he is ahead on recovery and end aug/early sept he will be back playing,people have brought into him being injury prone when he really is not,the back was 3 seasons ago and a lot of his "injuries" have been illness,vinny and wiltshire are what is injury prone looks likeAll the reports that I read indicated he had a dislocated patella not a dislocated knee..

Ahh, I didn't know that.It wasn't a back 'injury' he had pre scheduled surgery to alleviate a compression between two spinal discs that he'd had since birth.
Gundogans back surgery was done after a long time trying to treat it without surgery and he had a long spell out.
None of us are in the position to know whether a problem may recur or not or its likelihood. In all probability even his own medical team cannot know with certainty.
To deny that there is a risk that his playing time may be limited in the future by recurrent injury is probably not realistic, to claim that the injuries are so bad that a deal should not be done for a very talented player who has come back to good form after the back surgery is equally silly.
None of us are really in a position to know what the risk is as we don't have the detailed knowledge of his medical reports, equally even if we did have the reports we could still take a decision that looks sensible in advance but doesn't work out. Life's like that.
And AlabaWhat's he doing with Nasri?
