It's not kneejerk, he has literally pulled his hamstring that he had surgery on, what reaction are you expecting lmao.

So you honestly think he won’t play again?

 

[Seathestars]

Few reports that he had reached for his hamstring a few times before the tear

If true it’s a harsh lesson for him, Moyes and the medical staff

There should be no emotion or opinions when it comes to hamstrings, there’s no strapping it up or toughing it out. It’s not about heart or desire or commitment or playing through the pain with this injury

Short of being chased down the street with a knife by someone and your body pushing out pure adrenaline to get you to safety, there’s no way of pushing through a torn hamstring. You can’t terry butcher it. You’d have a better chance of carrying on with a broken foot

Same happened with kdh at chelsea in December

Absolute negligence if true

He had gone down with it a few minutes before he went down totally. He got up and kinda signalled he was ok. Then the serious injury happened.

 

[Cels]

He's finished sadly.

I thought he had taken a kick to the ankle for that one he went down for a couple of minutes

Oh, I didn't realise it was for a kick. My bad.
I assumed they were connected

 

[PhilRegan]

Any medical guys ? What's the deal with a post op injury here , will it be the same injury. Has the op failed in a sense ?

Or is it just bad luck and a new injury purely coincidental ?

 

[Shibbywiggles]

It’s him, Pickford, and Ndiaye that are a class above. Jimmy G is great but those 3 have something else. It’s a shame Branth can’t stay fit.

Completely agree, probably in that order for me as well

Tons on here

No it might be mate, I just thought he was limping when he got up like he was kicked on the ankle. I'll take a look again later if I get a chance. If its true and he was feeling his hamstring, its absolutely shocking from the physio and management not to have subbed him.

He was bent down Grimacing at one point before that incident happened..

Just feel for the lad, such a cracking player and wouldn't go amiss in any team..

Great strawman like.

I watched it back and on 77 minutes theres a melee in our box. Not sure if he blocks a shot or gets stood on but he deffo gets hurt in that section and isnt during a sprint. 20 seconds prior though he makes a rushed clearance which is what leads to their attack. He doesn't seem to injure himself but he's deffo stretching to clear the ball.

From 77 to 81 he looks a little leggy but still marshaling the defence, then he does his hamstring. Hamstring seems to go as he rushes to get up and back on the pitch after getting nudged by Gakpo and falling into the hoarding

Could be out for season if it is a grade 3 tear hamstring has he had a scan yet

I wouldn't expect him back before Christmas.

They won't rush it. Unless they suspect a full tear (highly unlikely) there's no rush to scan as the injury isn't going anywhere and he's out for months.
Probably this week, when the specialist has an opening.
