Looks like he planted his foot awkwardly and his knee buckled underneath him. Ropey pitch a factor? Gutted for the lad, but really, we could do with reducing the risks that come with these games.

Yes I think some of it is relationships with small local teams but sack that if it’s causing issues they can generate their paydays in other ways 2 minutes ago, Cheese said: Doesn't look like it was caused by a bad challenge.

Yes IE commented on the pitch saying it wasn’t the best which like I say just eliminate it even if it means behind closed doors on training pitches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM Trotter Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Haven't seen it, but yeah, freak ACLs happen. Done it myself years back on an astroturf in Prestwich, same week as Yannick Bolasie did his for Everton. Safe to say neither of us have hit the same heights since... Sickener, hopefully the Port Vale lad is capable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantra Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Iredale and Sheehan both had recent serious knee injuries Pretty sure Iredale has had two previously in his career also. MJs knees were kinda fucked too. Almost signed Wilson, another one with a bad knee. Hopefully whoever we sign now is a bit more robust in the knee ligaments area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farnywhite Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Well at least it didn’t happen a day after the transfer window shuts so at least we have the time to do something about it . Bet he is wishing he had signed a new deal will be out of contract by the time he is back . Could of been a risk for the club if he was on a 3 year deal and does not fully recover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
