But why would he walk off if it was a cruciate? I don't understand how he could walk off if it was a serious injury.

Virgil walked off.

That’s not the case unfortunately, many examples of guys walking off with an ACL, VVD walked off and Leoni was up as well

Didn’t touch the ball, scissor tackle, not even a yellow. Spuds were a disgrace today

I thought it looked like his ankle got rolled as he tangled up with VDV.

Let’s hope that’s all it is.

I’m reading a few other accounts that are sports science related - some saying ankle and some saying knee. **** knows, but he looked in pain and with Gakpo injured, Salah away and Wirtz looked like he pulled something then maybe finally he’ll start Chiesa!

I would not be surprised if Hugo is a fitness doubt; he looked to be struggling a bit before he scored.

By bets a MCL injury.

I thought the same, but seeing the armchair physicians commenting ACL does cause a little concern, I must admit.

I’ll stick with our diagnosis until the real Doctors make their call.

His foot doesn't look like it should be at that angle to his leg..

I thought he reached to his ankle when he first went down. Wishing him a speedy recovery.

Players frequently walk off after an ACL. Virgil walked off completely unaided after his.

It can be adrenaline. Or the pain and swelling hasn't come on yet. Or the nature of the tear still allows straight line movement.

I get it, but surely the medical staff would not let him walk?

To me Wirtz just looked like he did the typical 'I ain't getting that' theatrical run stop, cos straight after he started jogging back just fine. He was subbed for fresh legs, I reckon.

For a player that relies on pace and agility, twisting and turning, it doesn't look good, and will probably be curtains for getting any substantial return (i.e. a hatful of goals) on the investment if it does turn out to be his ACL.

I thought he got up, anyway….. it’s not uncommon for a player to walk off and have an ACL injury. Let’s hope it’s nothing like that because he’s already fragile and we might have pissed 125m against a wall

Wasn't Leoni stretched off? He was in agony.
