It’s a torn meniscus. Rosenior said in one of his interviews. I had a bucket tear in my meniscus cartilage, which was repaired at the same time as my snapped ACL and LCL. The meniscus repair required 6 weeks on crutches and a leg brace.
They avoid surgery now if possible as they think that most of the time surgery only gives the same result as physio, just read this
Surgery
Ten years ago, if you had a confirmed meniscal tear on MRI and you were not improving after 6 weeks you may be offered an arthroscopy (keyhole surgery). However, there have been large studies published, with thousands of patients in, showing no difference in outcomes between those who had surgery and those who did not. Surgery should be considered if your knee has mechanical symptoms. Mechancial symptoms are defined as locking or clunking of the knee with a significant restriction in range of movement and pain.
Meniscal surgery is not recommended if you have underlying osteoarthritis as the research has shown poor outcomes. At this stage, the main focus is about managing the pain and undertaking regular physiotherapy. Pain management may include injection therapy, such as steroid, hyaluronic acid or Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP).
I’ve had 4 arthroscopes on one knee and one on the other . The one I stood on for footie is the 4 one it takes all the torque . The other has been and still is perfect . My bad knee can be restricted but I’ve run , walked miles and played golf with no bother at all , but every once in a while a small bit of bone or something breaks lose wanders around my knee for a few days then disappears . I was told all they do is clean out the debris and off you go for about two years - it was true - hopefully Delaps is straightforward
My son in law has just had keyhole surgery on his knee (he knackered it playing for junior's five a side team) and it's amazing how little damage they do to the knee to do the operation, he's only got one clean scar line. In fact, the only scar he's going to end up with, is from the bit they cut out his thigh to graft on to the knee.
Can he play left back?
He had the operation a couple of weeks before Christmas, he's now walking fairly normally and driving again and he returned to work in the New Year. They were surprised at how quickly it was healing, but they've told him he should probably not play football any more, as it could easily break down again.
My meniscus healed quite quickly, it was torn in 4 places. The rest of the knee reconstruction has been the biggest challenge. I’d imagine Delap will be at the lower end of the scale as he has age on his side and access to the best medical teams, physios and rehabilitation equipment.
That must be gutting for the lad,but at least he is able to do most things normally again and maybe just like most people they probably won't accept it and eventually he will try to play again would not be surprised if he has already mentioned that.
Not play football any more !!!! oh no Delaps career is over. I hope he listened at school and has some GCSE's
It could be 3 months. We have no idea really. What I was saying, is that taking Rosenior's actual words, putting it through a few layers of Chinese whispers, rounding up an extra month for good measure and then saying we might as well call it the season at that point, isn't a realistic appraisal.
He's gutted and I wouldn't be surprised if he had another go at some point, though as he's been told not to and he's married to my daughter, it might prove difficult.
Hull City are closing in on their third signing of the January transfer window with Ivor Pandur expected to sign a contract with the Championship club in the next 48 hours.
Pandur jetted in from the Netherlands for his medical on Wednesday ahead of his move from Fortuna Sittard, after both clubs agreed a fee in the region of £1.5m for the 23-year-old.
Boss Liam Rosenior says Pandur is a goalkeeper City have followed for a period of time and have done extensive research work on ahead of making their move for the Ere Divisie stopper.
The Tigers chief says the Croatian Under-21 international will need time to settle into English football, but believes he has the capability of challenging both Ryan Allsop and Matt Ingram for the number one jersey at the MKM Stadium.
"I'll be really honest, that's the one that's pretty much down to medicals," Rosenior told Hull Live. "He's an outstanding young goalkeeper, and I think he's got a lot of potential. We've watched him for a long time, obviously coming from another country he's going to need an acclimatisation period for the Championship.

He didn't actually jet in, he came on the Eurostar.
Greta will be happy.
That'll be a first!
