Exactly what I was thinking. Just got to hope for the best now. Feels like we’re never allowed a good thing for long and I’m sure Danny is feeling the same. Please don’t be bad. Please don’t be bad.
This from the OS "the late injury to Ings, who was replaced by Shane Long – hopefully no more than a precaution after a nasty fall on his ankle." This could be a smokescreen of Trump-like proportions (wrong thread, again?) but the 'official' word is that Danny went over on his ankle, not his knee (straw clutching?)
Any news on bednarek? He could be as big a loss frankly. Especially given how Stephens has looked this season (and today)
The worry with new ACL‘S are hyper-extensions. They aren’t as elastic as old ones. If it’s hyper extended then likely to be a month or two of physio to build elasticity again. Fingers crossed
`I thought the pain was down the side of his leg, a couple of inches below the new on the left side. I thought he landed on the heel of the Villa player, although I guess his leg also went under him. If we are only playing Newcastle, I’d bring Le Tiss back for that one. Not that fella with the big nose, but our version
"On my way out of the ground, I have just seen Danny Ings. Good news is that he’s NOT on crutches. " What he didn't say was that he was in a wheelchiar (OK, that's a lie, in case you're worried)
Ralph has said his knee isn't swollen which COULD be good news. Swelling is a sure sign of ligament damage.
