Feel for him, major knee surgery on both knees in early 20s, worry is he isn't the quickest as it is let along another major injury.

Is this a major injury?

Is it the same injury though?

 

Same knee as this, I think?  As in the opposite to the ACL op. 

 

For all we know, they have taken their time with bringing him back so as to not rush him after so long out.  He would have had scans and physio etc.  Then by the sounds of it, something has gone in training when he was about to come back and play.

 

Feel for him.  His career is going the wrong way and it's not like he's a kid any more.  25 now and he'll end up sitting out almost a season and a half by the time he plays again.

Standard Eddie.

 

I don't blame anyone for this injury mind. And i'm not overly worried for him long-term. This doesn't sound like a major major injury. Will wait for more info.

I more meant is it the same injury that Eddie was referring to in that embedded post? From what our ITK friend has said, it sounded like he had more or less recovered from the ‘knock’ Eddie was speaking about, then something else, more significant, happened in training, resulting in needing an op.

Rumours are he may need surgery, hopefully not the case obviously.

 

He does, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's too serious.

 

Sounds like he could be back this season, but we may well start preparing him for preseason.

Trouble is he's already been out for as many games as he's been available since he joined us and just turned 25.

 

Really feel for him but we might need to look at 2 centre halfs.

We don't have the money to look for two centre halves. I would imagine we'd just keep using Dan Burn assuming we expect Botman to be fit for next season.

If its not serious then I dont thinks its THAT bad news. Doubt he would had been able to get himself into a good form and make much of a positive difference by the end of the season anyways. 

Thats assuming Schär and Burn stays fit ofcourse.. Looking really thin back there now.

 

Hopefully its a freak injury and not an indication of what his injury record is going to be like in the future.

Might be a bit unpopular opinion, but Emil Krafth is anyways slightly better player than Botman. More versatile and quicker with the ball.  So no worries. Been very impressed of Krafu lately. Discuss.

So am I, really. Although It’s the same knee. So assuming it is linked.

I'm struggling to see what you're trying to achieve with these posts. You'll never be as funny as TBG man, let it go.
