His injury hurt more than the loss for me , he is key to playing Ange's style of football and without his pace it’s almost defensive suicide . Absolutely gutted for the guy. Either way we have to recruit in January

So ... how are Ledley´s knees these days? Should cast his ambassador´s frock aside and join the team again?

I watched a video of him “walking” off the pitch. That has got to be a complete a tear. He can’t move the leg at all. Of course, that’s all based on googling everything so my medical evaluation is total bs, but it does mean my attempts at finding hope have so far proved fruitless.
Must admit I don’t understand why we haven’t got a golf buggy pitchside to take off injured players, I couldn’t believe he was trying to walk off and then we carried him off with two physios!

Budget was spent on go-karts...

it probably has to do with player safety funny enough. You have to account for every sort of outcome, imagine a player is sprinting and can't stop his momentum, slides and goes out of touch but into the buggy and breaks his leg, career over. Are the advertising boards not moveable? Because I would expect them being able to drive one on that is maybe down the players tunnel.

He could barley walk, would be shocked if he’s back for city.
He did walk off assisted by the physio though. Anyone who saw Neto do the same thing the other day should note he couldn’t even get himself on the stretcher and was in agony even while being stretchered off. Looks bad but I don’t think a full rupture as you wouldn’t be moving it at all.

Hopefully, he might have over exaggerated as his done before, let’s hope it’s not bad

What would be the point of exaggerating the result of a non-contact injury? You make a meal out of it when you want to make the ref believe a foul was worse than it really was. I get the need to find silver linings but that feels like a straw too far.

You mean someone on SC hasn't already looked at how he went off and the look on his face and told us exactly how bad it is and how long he'll be out for?

I refuse to believe it :D

Not saying things escalate in here, but . . .
