turlo Posted 28 February 2021 Share Posted 28 February 2021 no idea what injury that is a "bone has come off" "A bone in the knee has come off. He’d had niggles with it. He had a clash of knees in the game a few weeks ago so it has been irritable. Then there was a challenge on it today that made it worse. “It’s a bad one for him and a blow for us.”" https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/harvey-barnes-jonny-evans-jamie-5055647 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WigstonWanderer Posted 28 February 2021 Share Posted 28 February 2021 Needs to have it sorted then rested as long as it takes. Don’t bring him back until it’s fully healed and he’s 100% fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose2010 Posted 28 February 2021 Share Posted 28 February 2021 If a bit of his knee cap has chipped off then it will be just a case of removing it it so a small surgery. If that's all it is he is almost lucky as floating bone in the knee is so dangerous around the tendons / ligaments. Strange injury that though as there was no impact and didn't even look like it gave way. Might just about have him Praet and hopefully Maddison back by mid April then....

STUHILL Posted 28 February 2021 Share Posted 28 February 2021 I criticised Rodgers for not starting him on Thursday. Just shows how little us fans know about what is going on behind the scenes. I had already accepted it was another ACL, so although gutted we lose him for 6weeks+, I am very relieved it wasn't a lot worse. Can't replace him, so Rodgers has to figure out a different way of playing, with who he has available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been outstanding and I believe he now believes himself that he is now the go to player in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzFOX Posted 1 March 2021 Share Posted 1 March 2021 Hands down one of the worst injury situations in the league! Saying that Newcastle have had it pretty bad as have burnley and I’m sure many other teams. You only hear media reports more on Liverpool or man city because their managers moan about it. The rest of us just get back up, dust off and go again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short (non existent) pre-season, compressed season if I had to guess, but as to why we are worst hit than most? Not sure about that. Just bad luck?

SHANE_ Posted 1 March 2021 Share Posted 1 March 2021 Unfortunately with him and Maddison out it is unlikely we will get top 4 as they were both contributing greatly. Unless Vardy gets some form out of nowhere or Under steps up we are in trouble.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
