Diogo Jota

[VladimirIlyich]

I hate to praise him (he thoroughly deserves praise) in case I jinx him with another injury.

Oops! Sorry Diogo.

[Kevin D]

He’s the only player in this team who could have made the first goal. Gutted he’s out.

[KMD7]

Nightmare for him and for the team if it's serious. I love him.

[Scott_M]

Unfortunately I think that’s him done for the season, wouldn’t surprise me if it’s an ACL or something. 
 

Hopefully I’m wrong.

oh FFS.

Looks like if it a serious one its more likely an MCL injury, all depends on the grade of the strain. Best case its just an impact injury.

 

IF  MCL confirmed:
Gr 1: 1-2wks
Gr 2: 3-6wks
Gr 3: 6-10wks

Exceptionally clever that.

ACL is outside of the knee isn't it? He was holding and pointing to the inside I think. Isn't that lateral? Which is normally a couple of months.

Barnes and Sherwood were in a studio. Barnes reckoned medial and Sherwood agreed .

The MCL (medial) - have done both. Yea, it is side to side.

Sorry  - missed this.

Is this the same knee he did a few years ago?

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

I’ll be gutted if he’s out for an extended period. He’s in great form and brings so much to the team. That run he went on today, when he got to the edge of the Brentford area before getting tackled, was brilliant. It also showed how deceptively strong he is as he was holding off blokes who are much bigger than him. 

[Carra_is_legend]

Just when we were looking forward to having both Salah and Jota in the team.....

A lot of our success this year is based on firepower, too.

 

Salah, Nunez and Diaz aren’t doing it? Bring on Jota and Gapko for the last 30 minutes.

 

We’re not going to be able to fly at teams in the second half. 
 

Today went really well in terms of results, but those injuries might be the ballgame.

I had Tim Howard in the studio.

 

Arguably, you got the better deal.

[gkmacca]

That header to Nunez was a thing of genius. When he gets in the groove he's an astonishingly ruthless player. Hope he's not out for too long. 

[Scott_M]

Apparently if surgery is required, that’s up to 6 months out.

Anybody know the recovery time for this?

Dr Google tells me if you don't need surgery it's 10 days. If you do, 6-9 months.

10 days if non-surgery. 6-9 months if surgery is needed.

Quite a difference. Let’s hope he doesn’t need surgery! 
 

Unfortunately we know which way our luck in these situations tends to fall.

Does that DavoCKop fella actually know anything? The article is non-committal. Basically saying it's potentially that but not known.

 

I definitely followed him on Twitter at one point and stopped. If I remember right I think it's because he was putting clickbait headlines up.
