Oh, lord! Here we go again! This is being reported on the BBC Football website. It's also being reported that AVB hopes he'll be back sooner, but with ligament damage one can never tell. Just when it looked liked everything was going smoothly... Still, at least we have some good cover.
how is kaboul? Is it looking like Caulker + Dawson for the start? Not my ideal combo i have to admit but both decent players.
I was afraid it might be worse. I'm still afraid it might be worse. If they're right, and Vertonghen can be at full strength in week 1-4, not too bad, all things considered. The killers are the Sandro-type season-enders, and the cripplers are things like this in the middle of the season.
Sandro's was a knee ligament was it not? Which i believe is considerably worse than ankle. Andy Murray's tendons/ligaments in his ankle are basically shot (hence that fat brace he wears) and he can still play tennis. While i don't endorse that for Verts i'd like to see Murray play with an ACL injury. Actually, i wouldn't like that, it would be kinda mean. Is this similar to what Bale did last season? He was out about a month was he not? Although he is superhuman
