From personal experience I can tell you why this could be the worst outcome. i fully ruptured my achilles, i didn’t feel any pain. 

 

I found this odd and my physio told me it’s because it has fully snapped… like cutting an elastic band. 

 

The less severe the injury, the worse the pain. Reason being as it’s ripped but still attached for the pain to flow.  If it’s his achilles and he was as calm as he was… i can only imagine that’s fully snapped… which is best case 4 months with an op… and a very slow recovery to get back to full strength

Let’s wait and see what rodgers says later today 

 

just hope whatever it is has no more than a six week recovery timescale ….

 
terrible for him, especially as we may hear later his name mentioned in the list of unavailable players 

[Cropwellfox]

Ricardo’s Achilles will likely be 6 months before he’s back, could be a season ender for JJ 🤦‍♂️😢

If he has actually snapped it then he’s out for quite a long time but because the season runs into June, it may not quite be the last we see of him in 22/23. Really feel for the lad if it’s bad.

Would you really trust the timescale that Rodgers puts on it?

 

Rodgers timescale + an extra 6 weeks might be a better gauge.

I can’t bear the thought of Luke Thomas playing for us in the Premier League 😭

Quite a lot of 'if' going on here.

Why not wait to see what's actually happened?

Do we really think Rodger’s puts any timescale on any injury…..sure the team of experts employed by the club do that job….there really is no limit to what the man is responsible for…..

[StanSP]

Gutted for him if its a long term one. Just as he was coming back to form

 

Long-term injuries can affect you mentally just as much as physically. Especially if it's not your first.

Agree but what comes out of his mouth in the press conferences has not been very believable on many occasions.

The other 42 times he's played, he's been terrible 

[Pliskin]

He said he feels his knee, I’ve ruptured my Achilles also, and I certainly didn’t feel anything in my knee. I imagine it’s an impact knee injury.

[brookfox]

Gutted for him, was just starting to get into his stride.

 

Plus we're now one more injury off Big Dan filling in at RB! Anyone know where Betrand is?!

I'd rather Big Dan at left back than Bertrand

Not every single one. Don’t be harsh. Most though.

He’s done his ACL. Other leg. Gutted for him and us. 

[Fear Of The Fox]

We need to accept that certain players are injury prone and we can't rely on them. Ricardo, Justin and our former player Fofana fall into this category. It's all about their build and shape of legs. The club must have another 2 first team players at RB and LB.

Don't worry you will get over it and anyway with our improved defensive set up he can concentrate on defending which is where his strength lies. He is not an attacking full back, he is not Chilwell. I have plenty of confidence in Luke to do a good job.

This would make sense. His reaction was that of someone that knew.

The way he sat on the floor with his legs absolutely flat wasn’t a good sign. He was obviously aware that the feeling wasn’t dissimilar 

 

If there are rumours that it’s an ACL then that’s really grim …..

Some reports saying it’s an Achilles rupture but the medic definitely signalled a cross to the bench which is the sign for an ACL.  Hope whatever it is it’s not so serious though - they can still get it wrong even after an MRI. I thought he was getting back to his best recently too. 

[Dames]

If the injury is as serious as some are suggesting on here then unfortunately I think his career at Leicester is done. 

 

We've had it with Matty James and Ricardo where we've clung on too long hoping for them to come back at a certain level and they just ended up suffering injury after injury. We can't afford to carry injury prone players and not strengthen properly in those positions.

 

I hope the injury is minor but if it's not we have to face the very real possibility that JJ is probably done as it would be a second serious injury less than a year after recovering from his first. Those kinds of patterns tend to repeat, look at Jack Wilshire, look at Matty James and look at Ricardo. 

[st albans fox]

We should wait for confirmation before writing him off (but I think your point is valid - he’s dropped off 10% since his ACL and if it’s the other leg this time then …)
