call me crazy but i see this as the ideal scenario, we have pretty much achieved all our goals for the year and this injury kinda guarantees he wont be sold over the summer. Yes paul will suffer, but this kinda works out for us.
"within 50 days"... The first leg is 47 days away. There's a very good chance he's in the squad for it. Young players often recover faster than expected.

And if we somehow make Semi's, he should be back for them, fresh and raring to go.
As you said, this injury should guarantee we keep him for another year, through Euro 2016, which should see his price skyrocket. And hopefully we invest wisely this summer and can make another real European push next winter.

"The scan revealed a grade two myotendinous junction tear of his biceps femoris. He is expected to return to competitive action within the next 50 days."
Nah. 50 days for both. He'll be rusty, but I'd guess he's playing in a match within 50 days.
It was the same with Morata's partial tear of his MCL this summer. They said 50 days, and he had his first appearance 51 days later.
