Take 6th and end the season now. 

No chance. All still very much to play for.

 

I sincerely hope the players are not as defeatist (though I do worry that they might be after what happened last season).

[turlo]

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.”"

At least we know why he didn’t start on Thursday 

 

players carrying knocks can’t rest because of the schedule and injuries ....

Maybe they've seen the injury before? There was an hour between him going off and Rodgers interview.

According to Rodgers in the post match interview it was an existing injury from knock he took in a game a few weeks ago

[Jobyfox]

If Rodgers says six weeks then this could be at best career ending and, at worst, life threatening 

[Lambert09]

Maybe just maybe, this is why he was rested midweek... and not because we weren’t taking it seriously

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.

[goose2010]

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....

Fully deserved. He’s in pole position for my player of the season at the minute. 

....how easily they forget, at one stage my a country mile it was JJ, out of sight is out of mind!!!

[STUHILL]

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.

How the hell do they know it's a six week job and needs an operation already? They already been down the hospital for a scan, or was this something they already knew about?

....I am sure Rodgers said that it was something they were aware of!!!

Exactly. They knew the risk of playing him and I guess it took another direct hit and now a small op to remove the bone fragment is required. Gutted for him but wow what a season he has had

...massive risk to take with a players career!!!

I just hope the situation was explained to him and options given to him prior to this. He has been outstanding and I believe he now believes himself that he is now the go to player in the team.

The injury situation seems one of the worst since I started supporting the club.

[cruzFOX]

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.

Wonder what Dave Rennie thinks about it..

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? Not interested in pointless conspiracy theories about Dave Rennie either

See, it wasn't all my fault, the decisions the manager took despite my reservations are as much a factor,  the pandemic doesn't help.

That isn't what he is saying in any way whatsoever.

You can make someone words meet any narrative if you try hard enough.

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....
