Topic: Sadio Mané

[Welshred]

So exactly what are you implying by the above? That's its down to us?

As for Chelsea they will never go through a season again where they have so few injuries. I can't recall the last time a team went through a season with as few as they have.

Last season, Leicester.

[jillcwhomever]

I can't beleive the amount of people who are panicking considering none of us actually know what the problem is.

[jillcwhomever]

Last season, Leicester.

It doesn't prove much though does it? Anyway I am sure I looked on a website and found they had suffered more, than a lot seemed to realize.

[didi shamone]

Or it seemed ok, they were happy and then overnight it's ballooned up and he's in a lot of pain. It's not black and white.

No. It's black and blue.  Ba dom tish.

[Crimson_Tank]

You could say that about any injury though, not just ACL.

Agreed. So when is the time to amputate?

[AaronSingh25]

Walcott had an ACL but doesn't seem to have lost his pace.

He has. He doesn't have the acceleration he once had.

[Nick110581]

Pointless speculating at the moment.

[rob1966]

Surely if he'd done something bad, or the club medics suspected this, he wouldnt be allowed to swan out of the ground pulling his suitcase and signing autographs?

I tore the medial collateral in my right knee a few years back and was walking about all night with a slight limp and slept fine, just a bit sore. Woke up the next day and my leg was swollen like a balloon.

I wonder if there is a procedure that needs to be followed if there is such an injury? So if a medical department thinks it could be such a knee injury then would they immediately put the player on crutches or do they just say go home and do what you normally would do and we will find out tomorrow?

[RedForeverTT]

We are so screwed. 

The last time we lost Sane for Afcon, Coutinho got injured, Llalana lost form and the whole team went to shits. Hope Coutinho keep up his good form, Can continue to improve and no more injuries. We might still able to salvage something.

[newterp]

so wait the Joyce - meniscus tear story isn't true?

You do know where we sit in the top four right now, right? United don't win today they can pretty much forget top four and Arsenal keep messing up.

[Anfield Kopite]

How long is a meniscus tear if it is true ?

[TepidT2O]

How long is a meniscus tear if it is true ?

5mm?

Up to six weeks according to this article I found - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-27940923. Suarez recovered in about a month, I could see Mane being similar if he does have this tear.

Reading that you would give the player the rest of the season off. Obviously there was no way Suarez was going to miss the world cup.

it very much depends on the tear.. I saw a video about repairing them when I was at the royal college of surgeons recently..  very interesting it was

but as I've seen no story about a meniscus tear, then I don't think it's worth discussing.

They won the league two years ago and never had an injury then. They didn't have a great deal of injuries last season.

In Mourinho's last season they had a few injuries, but anyway that's beside the point. Still don't understand the relevance towards us in this.

Starting to think this thread should be locked until we actually know something.  I keep coming in here expecting to find some news and all I'm getting is panicked speculation.

It's a good idea, I don't think we'll get any more real information for a few more days now. Perhaps it can be locked, and opened whenever an official update occurs?

[Redman78]

Pray for Sadio!

I had one operated on in January.  I'm ok now but a really bad replacement for Mane.
As you say depends on the damage. Dings has a meniscus injury which was obviously serious.  Sometimes it requires a stitch as parts of the inner meniscus don't have blood flow and dont repair naturally. Those ones take longer. Anywho regardless of what part of the knee is damaged,  the extent of the damage is the key thing. And the fact that he was mobile and presumably still is has me erring on the optimistic side long term.

I don't disagree to be honest, they are obviously taking their time, so maybe that's the best solution.

[Mark Walters]

If this is not the same injury that Skrtel suffered a few years ago I'll be very surprised.  That was the ligament behind the knee (posterior?).  Doesn't take as long to heal but still bad.

[rob1966]

So if a medical department thinks it could be such a knee injury then would they immediately put the player on crutches or do they just say go home and do what you normally would do and we will find out tomorrow?

With me the physio did some pulling and pushing to try and determine which ligament it was, she was almost certain it was the MCL but wasn't 100% due to the amount of swelling. I think she gave me some exercises to do and sent me off home, I didn't even have any time off work. I was back running within about 5 or 6 weeks.

[Lycan]

Still no news on Sadio?

[elbow]

They didn't have a great deal of injuries last season.

They didn't have a physio either....

[Tony19:6]

Totally agree there's actually zero point until we know something official

The speculation in here is worse than on Sky News.

[pezzzer]

Just heard on talkshite that theve had word from Liverpool that the swelling has gone down so they have done the second scan and it's ligament damage that will require an op they reckon more than likely out for the season but cld make the last game.
I know it's talkshite but they did confirm they had spoken to the club. Bugger.

I would wait for official confirmation mate. They don't know shit.

Let's not kid ourselves here. He's out for 6 weeks plus.

There's a reason why they're known as Talk Shite, I would wait for the club to say something.

Are you a medical expert and/or someone with inside knowledge of the club?

[pezzzer]

I hate quoting them mate but I don't even think they can get away with stressing they have heard from the club directly without it being so.
6 weeks is about the going rate for ligament surgery from what's been posted by ppl who know far more than me. Let's hope Daniel has got his 'I'm so lucky to be playing for Liverpool and getting oodles of money so il give 100% to there cause' head on.

[CraigDS]

He's LFC's Chief Pissy Pants.

Stop your constant bed wetting. He's getting an amputation for fuck sakes.
