      He had an ACL and a broken bone - both of which after recovery didn’t affect his ability - just like the tendon injury won’t as well. He is still young and many other players have had worse and still played long successful careers mainly because of the modern science

      Let’s not write him off just yet


      Yes we potentially might need to bring in a CB but I can still see only a short term one whilst they bring through the likes of Phillips , Williams and Koumeito

      Besides the serious injuries he does seem to pick up niggles here and there as well, didn't he miss quite a few games last season as well? Anyway good news if he gets back this season.

      I don't chalk this injury up to the schedule as i think fatigue from the schedule is more likely to result in muscular injuries, like what we saw with Arnold, that are more short-term. Gomez must have had a hard collision or tackle or something in practice to damage a tendon to the point of surgery.

      Southgate lying then ? You can damage tendons in knee by jumping and landing awkwardly or through lack of muscle strength in areas supporting areas could of happened at any time and location

      When did i say Southgate was lying or alluded to that? i am simply stating that i do not think i would consider fatigue from the heavy schedule as the reason for this injury, like i would for Arnold's, since its not muscular. You are correct that this type of injury can happen at any time or place.

      If Joe had any weakness in his knee the gruelling physical schedule would have exasperated the underlying issue as recovery days are massively important for these athletes.

      Hope it's not the patellar tendon....

      "Similarly, after a complete rupture, the patellar tendon surgery recovery time will also vary. Immediately following the procedure, the knee will be immobilized, and the individual will need crutches to assist with mobility for a few weeks to prevent reinjury. It may take a full year to make a complete patellar tendon tear surgery recovery. Many patients experience weakness in the injured knee even after the patellar tendon has fully healed."

      I believe that’s exactly what it is.

      The tendon wasnt fully ruptured and was only damaged along with no other issues with the ligaments with the expected recovery within 4/6 months

      I doubt it's a patellar tendon rupture if the club think he can play again this season (especially considering how reluctant we have been as a club in recent years to put timescales on injuries).

      Poor Joe, he must feel absolutely gutted with the news as we all are, like everyone has said, all these games in such a short space of time are bound to take it's toll on the body no matter how fit these lads are, he will of course get the best medical help and support from the medics and the club, time to put all that new machinery at Kirby into good practice with all these bloody injuries....gutted, as if this year hasn't been difficult enough.  :f_wah:

      Agree with you Robby - this could easily have happened at Kirkby.

      Aside from that, it's absolutely ridiculous that we are having these international breaks. Bar the play offs they should have been scrapped entirely given the circumstances/fixture pile up. Personally I'd ban all internationals during in season and have a 3 week post season block and then another 3 week pre season block to play them in. At the very least, get rid of friendlies. I don't think there's a bigger waste of time in this world than international friendlies.

      I see Diogo Jota came on for Portugal to play the final 16 minutes of a 7-0 match. Talk about meaningless...

      I like international football actually, but the confederations and FIFA have been way too aggressive about creating new events, crowding the calendar with friendlies.

      If it wasn’t ruptured surgery would not have been needed.

      Partial or full rupture makes no difference to recovery time, it would still need to be reattached via surgery like I said the journalists associated with the club have said a rupture.

      Just to add after reading the posts on here, I know which message board I'm coming to consult the next time I need free medical advice!  :D

      Patient: "Hey Doctor! It hurts when I do THIS."

      It is the third time Gomez has been injured while on England duty.

      In October 2015, he missed 15 months after damaging his anterior cruciate ligament playing for England under-21s and in March 2018 injured his ankle playing for the senior side against Holland, ruling him out of that season’s Champions League final.

      You can doubt it all you want, but it sure is odd that he had surgery so quickly for a non-contact injury (which that can often be, it's an overuse injury a lot of times). Also, doubt the club would advertise that they are now going to be without their 2nd choice CB for the rest of the year. Teams with CBs they could move on in January must already be salivating......

      FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

      These cu*ts really do want to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, don't they.
      As if the club fixture list isn't bad enough, they have to pile on these stupid f**king "friendlies" that only serve to fill the FA coffers.

      Cu*ts.
      As much as I think the fixture list is ridiculous and the idea of adding friendlies to this already ridiculous schedule all while in the middle of a world pandemic is beyond any word I can use to describe the level of stupidity, I have to say that this one could've very well happened in club training.

      They are reporting nobody was near him when this happened. I am no expert so I can't asses if this is the type of injury that have increased risk of occurring when in the middle of such a ridiculously tight schedule but I'm guessing this is just pure bad luck for us and considering how sh*t our luck has been since this season has started it would've probably happened all the same in LFC training.

      They need to allow the 5 subs and just cancel the intl friendlies. Adding travel fatigue on the players and increasing the risks of covid contagion is just stupid. I reckon a friendly or two, or F**k all friendlies will have to do for the national teams. Like Klopp said in his presser after the City game (I am paraphrasing) ''we pushed for the domestic season to played and that's fantastic, but now we are also pushing for the Euros to be played but we have to ask ourselves, at this rate, with which players are they going to be played?''

      Amazing how you know more than what the club release 🤦‍♂️

      He damaged the tendon , surgery repaired the damage and it’s anticipated that he will be back before the end of the season provided the  rehab goes as expected - simple as that

      I have seen plenty of statements from the club over the years down playing injuries and giving best scenario dates.

      You can believe what you like.
