But seems strange that they still don't really know 2 months later.. They know, they just aren’t letting on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joelinton7 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 What’s the issue? His knee keeps swelling up. Well what would cause that? Might just have gout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 (edited) He’s contracted a disease known as dembabaitis, his knee is now essentially a ticking time bomb. God help us all. Edited November 30, 2023 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Gutted he's pretty much missed our whole CL campaign, but typical that the one game he did play, we got a clean sheet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 He just needs to not be jumping around/running/kicking a ball for a few months or he will need surgery. Probably did something to his ligament which will just heal naturally given some rest. Don't need to be an expert on knees to come to that conclusion.

gazza ladra Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 God bless Jamaal Lascelles. Give Botman whatever time he needs to heal. Strangely his absence seems to be the least of our problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Botman is class but Jamaal has done well. We have cover in defence so not been a disaster. Need midfielders and attackers to improve our bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Tino’s emergence at LB and Krafth fit again I’d wait until the summer to bolster the defence. That third striker looks a priority if we stay in Europe and the Carabao in the next three weeks plus trying to have a run in the FA Cup. Ekitike on loan or that lad from Stuttgart would be sensible. Barnes and Murphy in the midfield should compensate for Willock to an extent. The emergence of Miley too is a huge bonus.

SUPERTOON Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I personally wouldn’t go for the lad from Stuttgart, would prefer a younger player. Could be completely wrong but he had the feel of a one season wonder about him and in a poor league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Love Jamaal lad but we need a first-choice CB. The 3 of them should compete for a start and Jamaal as a back-up for a few injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd spend hours on the sofa with my pants round my ankles using a bag of frozen peas to try and reduce the swelling. And I'd occasionally rub Tiger Balm on it to see if that helped. But all I got was short term relief then it'd be bulbous again. So now I'm booked in for surgery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given Botman is a young un, he may well be ok depending on how bad the tear is. Edited December 1, 2023 by OverThere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
