fleckneymike Posted 9 May 2015 Posted 9 May 2015 Suspected knee injury. Not sure if it is the same one he injurred as a youth player at United.
AKCJ Posted 9 May 2015 Posted 9 May 2015 i suspect it's a christmas job. seen a replay and he knee buckles when the southampton lad skipped by him. nasty one and we'll miss him unless danny plays as well as he has done recently.
tom27111 Posted 9 May 2015 Posted 9 May 2015 Wouldn't be surprised if it was an ACL. Really looked nasty.
Callabinho Posted 9 May 2015 Posted 9 May 2015 If it's his knee then he's possibly finished. I know the fitness staff have been constantly monitoring him as they were concerned about his past injury. I fear the worst for him.
RowlattsFox Posted 9 May 2015 Posted 9 May 2015 Looks like he's going to be one of them players, a serious injury is never too far away. Worst time to get injured ahead of pre-season too in terms of getting back fit.
GloverFox Posted 9 May 2015 Posted 9 May 2015 ... If it is indeed an anterior cruciate ligament then he's got a tough road ahead and at least 6 months for a small tear or 12 months for a torn and complicated injury, taking it easy and taking a good time to allow it to repair will be essential and not just for his football career ... I wish the lad well and hope it's just a small tear injury at worse
davieG Posted 9 May 2015 Posted 9 May 2015 James Injury Update Posted: Sat 09 May 2015 Author: Leicester City image: http://www.lcfc.com/cms_images/player/james-4-3280-2449424_478x359.jpg Image by: Plumb Images Nigel Pearson says Leicester City must wait for the results of a scan to discover the full extent of an injury to Matty James, which he suffered in the 2-0 win over Southampton on Saturday. The midfielder started the match alongside Esteban Cambiasso in midfield, but with the Foxes 1-0 up early in the match, appeared to catch his studs in the King Power Stadium turf before going down injured. David Nugent returned from injury to come on as a second half substitute, but the manager revealed that he will also have to undergo a scan after picking up a knock late in the game. He added: “We had to deal with a couple of injuries throughout the game. Matty James picked up what looks to be quite a serious knee injury then Nuge (David Nugent) going on as a sub and not being able to finish the game at full tilt. “It potentially gives you a few problems. Credit to the players though, they dealt with what they had to today. “[For Matty James] It really is a case of getting the scan done and taking it from there. It doesn’t look to be at all encouraging. It could be a serious knee injury, but we’ll wait and see what the scan tells us. With Nuge it’ll be a case of having a scan and seeing where we go.” Read more at http://www.lcfc.com/news/article/james-injury-update-2449429.aspx#zJQR26960LRaWiqP.99
TOMBlcfc Posted 9 May 2015 Posted 9 May 2015 I really felt for Matty, currently recovering from an ACL injury myself and I can tell you it's a bitch, out for the long haul too. Pros have the best so recover much quicker but I did mine at the beginning of august last year and I'm on course to be back to football mid september
st albans fox Posted 9 May 2015 Posted 9 May 2015 we're going to need to sign a fair few midfield re inforcements. MJ likely out till November at the earliest EC a year older Deano will go Not a lot of bite left Real shame for matty
foxes_rule1978 Posted 9 May 2015 Posted 9 May 2015 I'm still surprised how was it not a red... wins the ball but clamps down on his knee... Needless..
tom27111 Posted 9 May 2015 Posted 9 May 2015 I'm still surprised how was it not a red... wins the ball but clamps down on his knee... Needless.. No. Not at all.
Babylon Posted 9 May 2015 Posted 9 May 2015 He's so important for us, I pray it's not bad but he looked distraught.
LCCFox96 Posted 9 May 2015 Posted 9 May 2015 Think it's a given James will be out for the rest of the season but hopefully he'll be back for the start of next season. Gutted for the lad and hope it turns out better than everyone fears. On the plus side, at least midweek Pearson said King was close to a return and should be available for the trip to Sunderland so at least we aren't too thin on the ground for the final two fixtures.
Richard Posted 9 May 2015 Posted 9 May 2015 Stringer said he did both of he knees whilst at United, so could be a serious, serious injury. Potentially career threatening. Will force us to dip in the transfer market for a new midfielder at least over summer
Narborough_fox Posted 9 May 2015 Posted 9 May 2015 Schmeichel was telling Riyad not to take a look when he walked over to see if James was alright. Obviously a nasty injury and can only wish Matty a quick recovery.
Collymore Posted 9 May 2015 Posted 9 May 2015 He did manage a wave to the crowd. I don't think he would have done that if it was super serious for two reasons. 1. He'd have been too in shock if a potential career ender had happened. 2. He'd been In too much pain to worry about appreciating the crowds concern. Ill put my neck on the line and say he'll be fully fit for August's opening fixture.
