Andy Posted September 28, 2025 Share Posted September 28, 2025 I'd normally think the fact he played on for a bit after the challenge and didn't immediately get stretchered off was a reassuring sign that it was just a twist or something, but Botman played about 5 weeks with a disintegrated knee so fuck knows Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I did my knee, it was obvious. I couldn't put weight on it at all, but it's all too common for people to seem ok at first after tearing their ACL.

Drewboy74 Posted September 28, 2025 Share Posted September 28, 2025 Initially thought it was his shin. Saliba is a coward. You only do that to hurt someone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly jeering when the stretcher was coming on. But not actively when he was coming off - albeit no applause either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed very in the ground, I was going fucking mental from level 7.l as soon as it happened. Want to see it again Yeah it looked quite deliberate from where I sit on L7 too, knocked him out the air and had no chance of winning the ball.

ChrisMcQuillan Posted September 28, 2025 Share Posted September 28, 2025 I saw it on the telly and thought it was outrageous. It’s worse in real time than the replay. You can tell he’s gone in to try and injure him. He doesn’t challenge for the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

black_n_white Posted September 28, 2025 Share Posted September 28, 2025 The injury was far worse than losing the game today for me, absolutely gutted. He looked distraught coming off the pitch so I think we can expect the worst here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted September 28, 2025 Share Posted September 28, 2025 Really early obviously and we'll not know until it's been scanned etc. But the fact he got up and continued playing for a few minutes would suggest it's not massively serious. Fully aware it can still be serious and he's able to limp on, I'm trying to be positive. When he went down for the second time he didn't look in absolute agony either, looked pissed off and knew he was coming off but not thumping the ground in pain etc. Fingers crossed for him it's not as bad as we all fear. Also need Hall to get back asap, it's just one thing after another atm, Hall is gradually introduced again then Tino gets carried off. Just can't seem to catch a break Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
