Detroit Blues Posted 30 March 2020 Share Posted 30 March 2020 Some interesting information on ACL injuries from Barca Innovation Hub https://barcainnovationhub.com/recovery-time-of-the-anterior-cruciate-ligament-injury-in-elite-football/ Here are a few relevant bullet points: 7% suffered complications before playing the first match (a new rupture or other complications in the knee). The average downtime after ACL reconstruction was of 6.6 months to come back to training and of 7.4 months to come back to competition. Coming back to competition a year after suffering an ACL injury was high (85.8%); however, only 65% (60 out of 93 players) were capable of competing at the highest level three years later. So, based on the above points, the average elite athlete with a mid-march ACL surgery might return to training by the end of September, and back to match fitness sometime in late October/ Early November.

StanSP Posted 1 April 2020 Share Posted 1 April 2020 Very good to hear him speak and be in good spirits despite what must be a challenging time for him, in addition to the isolation etc. Silver lining being that he can focus on recovery without missing as many games as he would have. Genuinely seems to enjoy being with us and just a generally decent bloke 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is in my top 5 For city of all time not sure he was ever world class he has never been the first choice for his country 13 starts at international level would suggest he is well below the “world class” benchmarks And most of those were friendlies not really even a top level international for England really but he does what he does so so well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

les-tah Posted 2 May 2020 Share Posted 2 May 2020 (edited) If it was a standard acl reconstruction the earliest he would be playing is late October I think... and that’s with a perfect rehabilitation. Edited 2 May 2020 by les-tah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are extremely talented but not world class enough to be a starter in any club side. Marhez is one of those I would suggest, very talented but hardly world class. Ricardo imo isn't there yet when you compare him to other greats like Cafu at right back but, he's young with plenty of time ahead of him. I can only really think of Banks, Shilton and Cambiasso with Kante just about ready to scrape in there if he continues on the upgrade. Very subjective and depends how high or low your bar is. True world class to me would be Pele, Maradonna, Best, Maldini, Messi and Ronaldo and similar. Not many of our players would come close. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate greats are greats never called them game greats world class players are players in the here and now at this time of their prime that would have a genuine chance of paying at any club or team in world those three come into that bracket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
