He tore his ACL and meniscus and maybe his collateral too. In slow motion, he looked to have taken a knock to the side of the knee from De Ligt while it was planted.

Ouch..that is incredibly awful luck if all true. You see those sort of instances 100s of times per game and they rarely result in anything serious. Hope he makes a full recovery.

Still trying to piece together how Zaniolo even tore his ACL in that play. There didnt seem to be any unnatural movement of his knee, no hyperextension. He was just running and got impeded then BANG..ACL torn..:(
He hit the wall. Mdl has huge legs. I dont want my worst enemy to clash with MDL.

I remember saying we needed to sign one more CB in summer and people claimed that was overkill.

LOL 2 ACL injuries later we are praying Bonucci and MDL don't get injured because all we have is Rugani


@Kyle - was that you saying we didn't need anymore CBs? Who was it?

are you saying we need 6 CBs for a 4 man backline cause thats ridiculous. 5 is plenty and if we have so many injuries the issue is not 5 CBs the issue is the constant injuries

Worst thing about the demiral injury is we probably wont buy anyone this month and end up basically screwed no way can we rely on keeping de ligt and bonucci fit as well as relying on rugani it would be a huge error to do that. Chiellini is basically unknown right now we dont know if he will be the same plus we dont know if once he gets fit he can stay fit

What's ridiculous is that our only backup for the rest of the season is Rugani and that we only have 3 CBs.

Poor planning. Even if its an old 37 year old that can sit the bench for extreme backup emergencies.

And how can you blame physios on ACL injuries? His injury yesterday didn't have anything to do with the club fitness levels LOL

You can play Can at CB. Just sayin’.
That's if you don't sell him. He was kept off the CL list...he is certainly going to get added to it now.

????? you make it seem like 4 long term injuries are commonplace
Rugani is shite, but ffs he is 5th choice
Plus you can slot Can there for emergencies like this, plus one of our fullbacks there for an extreme stretch

so we should have 6 CBs for two positions? do we also need 10 midfielders? ffs the squad is already too big to register the amount of CBs is not an issue. calma

So what you're saying is, the same Emre Can half the forum constantly bitches about, and Rugani the other half of the forum bitches about isn't an extreme stretch yet but having to use a FB is? That seems a bit bizare to me. 24 hours ago most people hated Rugani and Can and now Can is going to be the solution to finish the season?

God help us if we injure another CB. And if you haven't been paying attention the last 8 years out how "commonplace" on injury list is, you should have known better this summer when we sent Romero back to his club.

We have always had "eclectic" players that can fill multiple roles and yes we needed another CM b/c we know suspensions and injuries are "a thing" at this club. They don't need to be 8m salary players but experienced enough to fill the slots in an emergency. We all know our youth players can't do shit.

LOL we can't expect Can to do his job as a CM but noooooo problem as a CB :grin:

At least Rugani & Bonucci don't get injured hardly ever.

Oh, MDL has a clear issue with his shoulder too. But not to worry :baus:

i know you love drama but for all the issues this club currently has a shortage of players, particularly CBs, is not at all one of them.

there are much more pressing concerns for you to lose sleep over
