Timberrrrrrrrrr!

goon

Google tells me that the recovery time for a torn meniscus is between four to twelve weeks, which wouldn't be the end of the world. At least it's not an ACL or something like that.

Burnwinter

Sicario2 - Tier 1 Why? We had players suffer injuries last season as well. Frankly we've done great business past few months. Our record of player retention looks spectacular now, and that by itself is now worth hundreds of millions of pounds. I'm keen to hear it's not bad news for Timber, but that's because he's a great addition to the squad.

Mokbel: 🚨Growing concern at Arsenal that summer signing Jurrien Timber suffered a serious knee injury on his debut in Saturday's win over Nottingham Forest. Set for lengthy spell on the sidelines.

Take a while to assess? As soon as the swelling is down and you can do a scan you know 100% what it is, right?

Jurrien Timber underwent initial scans on Monday but it could take several days before a defined timescale for his recovery becomes clear. It's believed that further exams may be needed to see whether he suffered any meniscus damage.Should it prove to be an ACL injury, Timber would be facing a significant spell on the sidelines.[@jamesbenge]

If it's the ACL thats the season done for him. That is horrible luck. Do we still sell Tierney? We have Timber, Zinechnko, Tierney and Tomyiasu for that position, and I'm 100% convinced it will not be enough to cover all games. They will all break down as soon as possible

Pepe LeFrits

Tierney should definitely be kept. You should want 2 players for each position, so 8 defenders. Losing Timber puts us at 7 so we're already looking at quite a few minutes for Holding, and Tierney going will add minutes for Cedric on top of that. F that

Sicario2 - Tier 1

Timber out is a massive blow to title chances.

Everything happens for a reason and if that means we keep Tierney then so be it.

Absolutely fucking laughable. In the most crying way possible.

This is...so dumb.

Some further insight here: https://www.football.london/arsenal-fc/news/arsenal-jurrien-timber-injury-explained-27519337
We should be ok between Tierney, Tomi, Kiwior, White, Partey and Zinchenko for the fullback positions but Jurrien was looking like a key ingredient in the team's ability to excel. So really hoping for the least bad news and that he can return 2nd half of season.
Oh shit its sounding like ACL.

HomeSteak

Fuck

RocktheCasbah

HomeSteak knew it was knee ligaments - okay, I didn't know but it just looked like it. That is some appalling luck for him, and us.

TambourineMan

HomeSteak So was this fake news in the end? Or are we still waiting on confirmation that it's definitely his ACL?

goon

What rotten luck, honestly. So innocuous too.

Big Willie

Isn't the ACL at the front? He was holding the back sidr of his leg so I'd assume it was the LCL or something else?

The ACL is in the center of the knee and it holds everything in place. When it goes the femur and tibia can move back and forth independently of each other which can cause damage to other parts of the knee and present pain in other areas.

Don Pacifico

We need to dig out some horse placenta and fast!

In all seriousness, this is really shitty news but we do have decent coverage at least.

How long generally is ACL? I saw Madrid players projecting to come back next season, or is that depending on the severity of the tear?

RocktheCasbah

Clrnc he'll be out for at least six months, I think you can almost say it's a season ender by the time he gets back to full fitness.

Clrnc

RocktheCasbah 😢

At least this means Holding stays though.

Pepe LeFrits

RocktheCasbah he'll be out for at least six months, I think you can almost say it's a season ender by the time he gets back to full fitness.

Yeah it's a minimum of six months, that's the best case scenario. I did my ACL when I was 29 and my recovery took 15 months, and I never regained full leg extension (98/99%, so close). I had complications (had to get a second op after 9 months) and he'll obviously get a higher standard of care, though, so fingers crossed for the lad.

Panda

Yep he's out for the season poor guy. Terrible news. Such a bad injury for footballers too. Hope his recovery goes well and he comes back stronger 😭. I'm gutted for him.

Sicario2 - Tier 1

Not the first time Arteta has carried on with an injured player and they got further injured (Saka at Notts Forrest at home).

Him and the Doctor are to blame for this.

Clrnc

Sicario2 - Tier 1 When Arteta pushed the blame firmly on the doctor in the presser you know it isn't a small injury.

Tbh with such injuries I never get the blame on the player himself. The doctor have to give the proper advice. Can't be based on just the player feelings.

Not sure if we could blame the manager if the doctor instruction was that the player is fine and he could run it off, pain is temporary etc.
