Bit shocked by this one honestly.  Watching the game thought it was simple precaution taking because of the pitch and a meaningless match.  He even stayed on for several minutes afterwards if I remember right.  Damn

Zero luck.. you couldn't make it up. 

We are a cursed club.

we also buy too many damaged players

[Blue Armour 4,312]

Fucking hell. 

No break whatsoever.

First Fofana and now Nkunku. And James on the treatment watch too.

As if last season wasn't enough.

I don't like it, but I hope the Neymar links aren't just idle paper talk, and that we actually take the gamble of bringing him in.

But then again, his injury record isn't too great either, so who knows.

Every time we play in the US some injury BS happens. 

[Mhsc 916]

Should never have been playing on that pitch, club really has not learnt to protect its assets.

Second serious injury in a row...

He is finished, he won't be able to reach high speed again.

Yeh he’s probably washed 

[MoroccanBlue 5,320]

Probably a partial tear and they just need to go in and clean it up. 
 

He’s out for 5-6 months at least. The rest of 2023 for sure.

[Special Juan 27,439]

16 weeks according to Matt Law

[MoroccanBlue 5,320]

Only ourselves to blame. We knew of his knee injury prior to the World Cup (and it is the same leg) yet still went through with it despite not doing some due diligence on how prone the knee is to have a reoccurring injury. 
 

You genuinely could not make this up. Looking forward to Jackson tearing his ACL next.

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

Christopher Nkunku underwent surgery on his knee this morning and is likely to be out for 16 weeks - three-and-a-half months - before he can resume training. Unlikely to play before December. #cfc

Club are saying extended period. I reckon that is longer than 3 months. At best that is a clean up and see how it goes but may require more surgery.
