The injury he sustained on Thursday is not connected to his previous injuries.

 

:icon_scratch:

translates: it’s not in the clubs interest to let it be known they’ve signed a crocked player, especially when the intention is to make a big profit on a player they got on the cheap because he’s known to be crocked.

 

It’s the same knee that’s had 2 lot’s of surgery on!!!!

 

reassuring PR statement though, isn’t it????....

Yeah, because buying a crock is a surefire way of making a big profit down the line. :idiot2:

 

Maybe you could give the club a bit of credit once in a while for bringing in some pretty impressive young players.

Grand news, one of my mates is such a pessimist, he text me as soon as he got the injury saying "Great start to his Newcastle career, done his ligaments, out for 3-6 months". Can't wait to rub it in his face.

 

:lol: go for it.

Thought Pardew said all along if draining it doesn't work, then he will have to have minor surgery to remove some scar tissue, but not cartilage? 

 

In fact he did, here you go:

 

"He’s had fluid taken from his knee and we think, fingers crossed, that will be OK - maybe he’ll be available for next weekend.

 

"If that doesn’t cure the problem we think he’ll probably have an operation in there where we just go in and tidy it up. It’s not a cartilage, just a little bit of scar tissue."

The prognosis is still a lot better than the original AP quotes from Friday.  Most were worrying that he would be out for about 2-3 months, doesn't sound like that's the case.

Pretty simple situation here.

 

Santon is having his knee drained today.  If that works then he may be able to play this weekend.

 

However, if the knee draining fails to fix the problem, Davide will then require keyhole surgery  to remove some scar tissue, which is considered to be the underlying cause to the swelling and therefor the fluid buildup.  If he does require keyhole surgery then he is looking at 4 weeks (+) out.

 

Simple!
