Alberto2005 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I imagine he's out of the final but will probably be back for some of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-421 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) Any chance that the 'surgery' he needs is a relatively minor procedure, and something that could have him playing again quickly (even in time for the final), with the knee patched up? But journo's (and ITK) hear 'surgery' and immediately jump to the worst scenario? Edited March 6 by TK-421 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea what the time frames are like for a pro versus an amateur bum like me are, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep standard Arthroscopy to clean up bone fragments \ trim cartlidge etc. would be a quick recovery time but would be too tight for the final in my opinion, not a doctor but I have had 5 of the buggers!

The Prophet Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Hope: "Newcastle will not take any risks with Sven Botman during the remainder of this season, and only after knee surgery will the extent of his absence be known. Mail Sport revealed this week that the defender is set for an operation after seeing a specialist on Tuesday, and that will rule him out of the Carabao Cup final on March 16. Botman will no doubt be determined to return before the end of May, especially as the issue is not thought to be too serious and is not connected to the ACL injury that kept him out for 10 months before his return in January. That is the good news. However, the 25-year-old’s season could yet be over if medical staff decide the risk outweighs the reward in him playing before the end of the campaign. That is a consideration for down the line. Botman was outstanding after his comeback in January, but he has not been seen since limping out of the 2-0 Carabao Cup semi-final second leg win over Arsenal a month ago. It was hoped he would have returned by now, but this week’s specialist opinion has advised that surgery is the best way forward." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JigsawGoesToPieces Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 (edited) Wonder if we need to try and move him on, he's a bit injury prone. Considering both our CBs are snail pace'd anyway might be worth trying to find someone who isnt made of lego and has a bit of recovery pace.

St1pe Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 At least another 8 weeks out for him then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Minor surgery to clear out some fluid and then potentially back before the end of the season. I'd just make sure he's spot on for pre-season at this point. Seems this kind of injury comes with the territory for an ACL recovery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Botman is class, he doesn't require huge amounts of pace because his reading of the game is second to none. We were warned that the road to recovery could be quite a long one, it's not like he's breaking down with soft tissue injuries all of the time. It also shows it's worth waiting to have a decent amount of information before playing the blame game, no matter how frustrating these things can be.

Unrelated injuries are commonplace after prior long term serious injuries. Ridiculous to completely write the guy off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibierski Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 If it’s 8 weeks at best, you are basically either bringing him back for a massive home game against Chelsea, away to Arsenal or final game of season. I’ll be more surprised if he’s back for any of those, just write him off and get him on a full recovery to hit ground running in July. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Like Botman will once again be saying he’s good before then, but take that call out of his hands as it’s been proven in past to be wrong to let him have the say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
