VvD out for 6-8 months would all but end our title challenge, unless there's a lot more slip ups this season. No-one looks untouchable to be fair.
My brother tore his ACL knee ligament before and the pain is excruciating.
I had a partial tear and it was more like the way VvD reacted. Swelled up later on/very painful but no immediate pain, just felt wrong. This seems like best case now. With the expertise he'll get, could be as little as 1-2 months.
I expected the same, VvD seemed uncomfortable, but they were flexing the knee, he walked off, he didn't need a stretcher/oxygen etc, I remember the OX looked really bad, but it is so hard to check, it needs full tests/scans at hospital.
Hopefully he will be ok but I am expecting bad news.
I am surprised they are saying Thiago could be bad, as he played on till the end of the game?
This will definitely affect our season, but we can still win the PL IMO, we would probably have to move Fab permanently to CB for the season, but we should have enough strength in MF to do that.
The transfer window opens in 2 months, so if it is bad for Vvd and pretty much out the season, we would have to buy a CB if we want to win the PL, it is similar to how City lost LaPorte last season and how it affected them.
It is disgusting how some Bitter fans are gloating over the injuries.
