2024/25 Iliman Ndiaye

[den]

Considering it’s an MCL injury and he was able to walk, it’s likely at worst a grade 1 tear, which can heal within 3 weeks without surgery. Medical credentials: I read something on the internet.

 

[Bebeto]

They are actually useless at asking any questions regarding injuries. You would think journalists would realise it's the main thing that supporters want to hear about in these pressers

Or are they keeping those questions for the part of the conference that is not broadcasted to fill the papers.

 

[Hellerad]

Hopefully a minor injury.

I tore my MCL and damaged my PCL when I was younger. It’s painful. Luckily he has great physio care. I didn’t, and my knee is very unstable to this day. Prone to dislocate.

 

[NathDogg]

Don’t rush him back unless we are right in the poo, which I hope with what Davey has done since coming in, won’t be a possibility.

Gutted for illy, was playing great and having a huge impact in nearly all the games.

Hopefully alcaraz will come in and pick up some of the creative burden. The Saints fans are gutted they got rid of him and want him to do well from what I’ve seen online.

If that's actually him, and he didn't need surgery, that's an absolutely sound outcome

 

[lieneverton]

Not watched it back again, but am i imagining it, or did that sausage Szoboszlai catch his heel as he was about to kick it so basically put him off balance / preceded Ndiaye kicking the ground?

Pretty much.

It's a very unfortunate injury to be honest, it's not like he's gone to do him or anything.

 

[lieneverton]

Unfortunately add in the Everton factor (takes 50% more than usual for our players to recover) I'm only expecting to see him for the last few games. Could've been worse, admittedly.

A big blow nonetheless and thankful that Moyes has got us those wins to get us away from immediate danger.

Gonna be a miss but really glad it's MCL and not ACL. This guy has a fantastic career ahead of him, hopefully in blue

Don't think so mate for instance I haven't read anything of substance regarding when McNeil being back

 

[Huyton Layne]

Called MCL, you could tell by where they put stuff on his leg during treatment. Now if he's back in 6 weeks, I'll want some sort of faux title.

 

[Bedfordblue]

Pretty much.

It's a very unfortunate injury to be honest, it's not like he's gone to do him or anything.

IIRC it was a ‘professional’ / snide foul though, no doubting there was no intent or desire for the result, but much like Gomez when he was done by Son (he’s not that sort of player ) the result was extremely unfortunate.

 

[Gilbert..]

Pretty much.

It's a very unfortunate injury to be honest, it's not like he's gone to do him or anything.

Yep. He didnt suarez him.

 

[Toffeelover]

Give him good time to recover and make sure really fit before playing him.

 

[Simon Buttle]

Imagine he loses a yard of pace after this injury...

Yeah its a worry mate, he has been our standout this season, the way he has been playing I'm also worried the vultures will come calling. Id like us to build around him simply because he is such a busy little player but also has that repertoire of tricks he can call upon. Surround him with the right players and it could be a formidable attacking line imo. They have to be the right players though.

Hopefully with no stadium and new owners the days of having to sell our best players are behind us esp the like of Branthwaithe and Ndiaye. Only reason from now is if we are selling our top players is if they want out to likes of Real Madrid etc and demand they pay over the odds and not being lowballed anymore
