Just wanted to also say that it’s a nightmare injury to deal with. My son has just had a knee operation which required a cartilage graft, which I’m guessing is a similar issue, and it’s been horrendous. It’s been very painful. He can’t really go out because he can’t bend his leg beyond twenty degrees in a knee brace which makes most activities pretty difficult and he’s understandably terrified of damaging it. He can’t really do anything for himself like get dressed, have a shower, even make a cup of tea. Crutches are painful if you can’t let your bad leg weight bear at all because all the weight goes through your under arms.
I think they have a lot of guts playing again. I really think my son is not keen to do anything that would cause it to go again because it’s not a pleasant thing to deal with. Thankfully he’s got some lovely friends that have come around to keep him sane - he’s only 22 so he should be going out and being an idiot not hanging around in bed or on the sofa. Six weeks doesn’t sound like a long time until you can’t do anything for yourself or go anywhere and then it seems like a very long time. And then he’s got all the rehab and physio to do. He can’t really go to work either because he’d have to get his colleagues to do everything for him which would be embarrassing and he’d be worried about knocking it or slipping when out and about but luckily he can work from home.
People had a go at Luke Shaw for going mad at the guy who nearly took him out recently but I can understand if you’ve had a horrendous injury and someone does a similar tackle to the one which caused it you might react similarly. I know it’s not life threatening like the sad news we’ve had recently of our popular posters but it’s not an easy thing at all. |  | |  |

Worse in the womens game apparently. Nearly all of the top players have had one.
QPR had there share, remember Carlisle and Langers doing their's in the same bloody match. Rufus Brevett caused Carlisle's didnt he?
Seems easy to do in the modern game. |  | | |
