Joe Gomez

[Cormack74]

Just listened to a podcast where they spoke about the injury - full patella tendon rupture......ffs. It sounds like a really bad one to get and v hard to recover from.

In American Football it has a 50% success rate at even playing again - looking at around 12 months before he gets back on the field. Described as stitching together two horse’s tails.....ffs

It basically controls where the kneecap sits - this could be a career ended to see if he gets back to former levels.

That's weird.This morning's Guardian reported he could play again this season

These lads called the severity of Ox’s injury also - they are normally bang on

On the Anfield Rap they said 4 to 6 months, but it could be more due to his injury history.

So I'm going 4 months

[Cormack74]

Edit: On reflection, it might not have been the Anfield Rap . .

So many sites / so much opinion and information.

[Cormack74]

Edit, edit: Talksport are saying 'season ending' so I'm definitely going 4 months.

Could argue that just because you have a car crash in London, doesn't mean you would've still had one if you'd stayed in Liverpool

But I won't

This has just started going round hopefully crap ....


I've left it a few days just to see if anything leaks out but no, everyone keeping schtum so here goes.....
My first thought when Joe got injured was that horrible lil manc prick snake had something to do with it, finally got revenge! My suspicions were raised further when Southgate insisted he went down with no-one around him, just as Sky turned off the cameras. And they have repeated that mantra in the press all weekend, no-one around him. This statement alone was suspicious to me, even more so cos they keep repeating it. Seen the team news tonight and the rat isn't involved or on the bench - again!!! Not injured! [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848] My cousin plays at the academy and I was told on Friday that Sterling went right through Gomez in training, so everyone knows but aren't saying a word or the FA is preventing them from doing so!

Surely not...

[spud_gun]

Yeah that's total bull****

Why would Henderson keep quiet?

[Exiled_red]

Sterling is supposedly injured or was a doubt according to reports this morning.

I must admit that I too did think it's a bit odd how many times they mentioned that Gomez just went down with no-one around him as that's not usually something that's said, but I assumed it was because of the nature of VVD's injury. But I don't think that there is any conspiracy here.

Sterling picked up an injury in training on Friday...

Chatted today to my Physio about Joe’s injury. He said exactly the kind of injury you’d get landing after a jump etc and that they can take up to 2 years to recover properly from. He also mentioned that if his ACL reco had harvested the patella tendon (this is less common, but does happen. One of my 3 ACL recos did this), then that may have significantly weakened the tendon.

Happy Monday folks

The ACL was his other knee but there is no doubt that the catastrophic injuries he has suffered impacted his body. The additional games he was being forced to play to compensate for other injuries in the squad also didn’t help.

I think it will be a long time before he is back at the levels we expect
