Our new Head of Medical will be going with Lanzini to a consultation with a top knee guy in Barcelona in a couple of days. Lanzini says he's going to be having surgery.
No indication yet on how bad the injury is and how long the rehab will take
Sun says 'could be out', Mirror says 'will' miss 15 months. Neither say how they know but both say the club has been told it is worse than first thought.
The sun has a special hotline to the whole of the football world. And have done for years. That’s how they got the scoop and full real story on the Hillsborough tragedy.
Personally, I believe the rag to be scum, dreadful, and utterly despicable. But that’s my own view. I will never ever touch that chip wrapper until the day I die.
Why would the club suddenly be told it's worse than first thought when 2 weeks ago he was operated on by reputedly one of the world's leading knee doctors and our medical head was there and it was reported as a success. Surely the surgeon would have known how bad it was when he operated on him and his knee was open.
I will believe all good things with Manu, I wish him a speedy, and complete recovery, and much love and all the luck in the world. However, if I hear anything from the sun or the mirror, I may choose to ignore it and wait for something more reliable. Like my Auntie Jeanne reading tea leaves in the bottom of my cup.
I don’t drink tea, and my Auntie Jeanne has been dead nigh on 15 years.
Iron herb that's not the point. Success or not the surgeon would have known the severity when he operated on him not suddenly decide 2 weeks later that maybe it was worse than he thought. He's supposed to be the top man in his field. It may well be true that he will be out for 15 months but I don't recall anywhere that any timeline was given so maybe a complete season out was always the prognosis.
In this instance though Vorse (not questioning your knowledge of post-surgery rehabilitation!) the issue is being reported as the injury being worse than first thought ('cruciate plus') rather than them just firming up the length of the rehab period.
At the end of the day, I obviously wish him well and a speedy and complete recovery, it appears clear however, that we cannot expect him to play for us any time soon, at least we have that information and can try to plan accordingly.

I believe it takes a while after surgery to see how the patient reacts so they know how long the recovery will be...
So presumably (if the latest stories are true), a further problem/complication was identified in this hospital-based recovery period?
Ho hum
Thats more shocking then Gemrnay getting knocked out.....
