Aurelio out till Christmas

Well Rafa is saying he has had it operated on and commented on the cartilage that's why I think it will be longer he has had problems before and usually it takes longer and longer the more you injure it.

Great news for Fabio, must only be minor cartilage problem for Rafa to say 2 mths max. Funny vid above, never seen that one before.

I'd expect 3 months max cuz obviously, Rafa only knows how much he knows, and Aurelio could take a wee bit longer to be 'ready'.

He's been quoted as saying that we could have Aurelio back within a month, maximum two months.

I think Rafa would have been fully informed by the medical staff what the situation is.

Yeah but obviously he doesn't want the team to look weak by saying Aurelio one of our main full backs will be out for many months, so he may be shortening it. But I don't doubt his word, 2 months it is.

What do the media honestly know by saying that its for the rest of the year..?

Rafa has his staff accessing Aurelio's leg, he would be fully in the know and I wouldn't doubt Rafa's words one bit.

Exactly what I'm saying, that's why he put it out there that it's only 2 months max.

So that when the 2 months pass and Fabio is still injured he looks stupid?

I don't think so.

Ok thanks Dr. Dizzy!

Ross that commentary is in Portugese no?
