Blasters Knee

Pretty sure he would not be mobile and able to go on the lash with an ACL injury.

Hoping he heals well and it was more precautionary than anything else.

He was 100% targetted on Sunday. So many late and over the top challenges. I thought the ref was very poor.

In my extremely amateur opinion he has an mcl injury. Could be anything from two weeks to two months but I suspect it’s going to be on the more lengthy side.

I did my MCL a while ago. I was on crutches afterwards. It healed after a couple of months.

Out of ACL and MCL. MCL is not the bad one, but I wouldn't have expected him to be out boozing afterwards if he'd done it

Apparently, he had a scan in London yesterday.
Partial tear of ACL. No decision yet whether to operate.

Whilst this, if true, is awful news - football wise it doesn't hit me as hard as it would had it happened 2 months ago.

Peck showed on Sunday he is more than capable. And with Davies back, we will be ok.

Still a huge blow.
 
The timeline for a professional footballer to return to playing after a partial tear of the ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) can vary widely based on factors such as the severity of the tear, the player's overall health, the quality of rehabilitation, and whether surgery is required. Here's a breakdown of the recovery process and potential timelines:

1.​

  • Timeline: 2 to 6 months
  • Description: If the partial tear is not severe and the knee is stable, doctors may recommend a conservative approach. This typically involves:
    • Rest and rehabilitation to strengthen the muscles around the knee (especially the quadriceps and hamstrings).
    • Physical therapy to restore knee stability and function.
    • Bracing to protect the knee during early phases of recovery.
  • Return to Play: Players may be able to return within 2-3 months if the knee responds well to therapy and they regain full strength, stability, and confidence. However, if instability persists, it may take closer to 6 months or longer.

2.​

  • Timeline: 6 to 9 months (can be longer for some athletes)
  • Description: In some cases, a partial tear might require surgery, especially if the player experiences knee instability or if there is damage to other structures (like the meniscus). The surgical procedure may involve:
    • ACL repair (where the torn portion is sutured or reinforced) rather than a full reconstruction.
    • Post-surgery rehabilitation is intensive, focusing on regaining range of motion, strength, and neuromuscular control.
  • Return to Play:
    • Phase 1 (0-3 months): Initial recovery focuses on reducing swelling, regaining range of motion, and beginning muscle strengthening.
    • Phase 2 (3-6 months): Progressive strengthening and conditioning exercises, agility drills, and controlled sports-specific activities.
    • Phase 3 (6-9 months): Full participation in high-intensity training and return-to-play assessments. Clearance for competitive play typically comes after successfully passing functional tests that simulate game situations.

3.​

  • Severity of Tear: The more severe the partial tear, the longer the recovery.
  • Player's Position: Positions that require quick changes in direction, such as midfielders and forwards, may require a longer rehabilitation period due to the demand for knee stability.
  • Rehabilitation Compliance: Adherence to a well-structured rehab program can significantly affect the recovery timeline.
  • Psychological Readiness: Confidence in the knee is crucial. Some players may need extra time to overcome the mental barriers associated with returning to play.

4.​

  • Professional footballers with partial ACL tears have sometimes returned in as little as 3-4 months with non-surgical treatment, but this is highly individual.
  • In cases where surgery is needed, players often take around 6-9 months to return fully, with some extending up to a year depending on the complexity of the injury and recovery.

5.​

  • There is a higher risk of re-injury if an athlete returns to play too early, particularly within the first 6-12 months after injury. Thus, many sports medicine experts emphasize the importance of a cautious approach to ensure long-term knee health.
Summary: A professional footballer with a partial ACL tear can typically expect a return to play anywhere between 2 to 9 months, depending on whether they take a non-surgical or surgical route, and their specific recovery progress.
 
I would be willing to make a large wager that Blaster will be fine. There is absolutely no chance that medical staff allow Blaster to stay on the pitch if they thought he might have torn a ligament & almost certainly make it worse. There are quite simple tests that they can do to check it & allowed him to continue.

Any scan will be precautionary & I anticipate that he’ll be back involved with the first team relatively soon.

All IMO of course 😁

How would you possibly get to know about the scan if he's even had one in London yesterday ,some people need to really give their heads a serious wobble .

The same way as we've been getting all the 'ITK' news about the takeover. Let's not forget it was somebody on Porktalk who started the ACL rumour on Monday.

I mean it wouldn't be like a midweek fan to have a agenda .

I'll wait for the clubs response.not some grunter on porktalk who had it diagnosed even before blaster was shopping in the smoke .then religiously passed on on this board

I did see this when I replied to your other post. 😄👍

I'll take that bet. How much? and when do you think he'll be back?
 
As said already, let's see what comes out in the wash.

All I will say is that he looked absolutely gutted when he came back out to sit behind the dugout in the 2nd half. The look on his face suggested things were not at all well, however that could have just been disappointment at having to sit out the 2nd half and missing the goal, in such a huge match.

I do agree though that the medical team would not have let him continue had there been any inkling about a ligament injury.

Hopefully the lad is ok.
 
We'll never know. We never do get to know about injuries. He'll just turn back up in an under 21 game in 2 weeks or 2 years or anywhere inbetween

I did exactly this the second time. First 4 pints were a struggle as I felt sick, but settled into my game after that and got through it. Was like I’d grown a head on my knee the next day
 
Fuck me, this thread sums up social media - speculation, attention seeking know nowts and “experts” spouting bollocks. Hows’ about we all calm down and wait until an official announcement is made. Sorry but you might have to amuse yourselves with a discussion about married at first sodding sight or summat for 24 hours but we will get there in the end, I promise 😡
