Yep very odd.
Wouldn’t have saved his ACL but there’s huge risk of further damage to the meniscus etc.
Protect your injury from further damage.You’ll need to rest immediately after the injury, but not for long.
Depending on the injury, consider using some form of support.
Even more stupid when you think the metabolism, due to playing, is probably on hyperdrive maybe pumping blood disproportionately and maybe opening wounds/ damage further , very much a layman's take ...but not out of the realms of possibility..
Ice and elevation el rapido.
Presume he had it within days/weeks of the injury.
Probably out until 2027 I'd have thought.
He’ll thrive in the Championship. I suppose that’s a positive.
Maybe he can come back this time next year to help keep us up.
Credit where it's due, Lange has built a squad perfect for the club's future.
Nah he'll get eaten alive. He's Bryan Gil with dreadlocks.
So wish we could get rid of he & Tel, but for sure at least one of them will still be stinking up the joint next season.
Like throwing money straight down the shitter.
I actually like Odobert and felt he was starting to put in some decent performances before the injury . End product isnt there yet but we’ve missed him .
Missed him? He’s been here 2 years and done absolutely fuck all. What exactly have we missed? If this guy was playing we’d be even closer to relegation than we already are.
You kind of forget the guys like this who haven't played in so long. Odobert might eventually develop into something, but will he ever be a finisher? I just don't see much goal scoring threat.
The thing we missed most wasn't actually his output, but simply having an actual winger in the squad. He was the last fit one we had left and we've been reduced to playing RKM, Gallagher and Souza as wide players in his absence (Tel's the closest and can play wide but I don't think he's a natural winger, really).
He's still very much a nearly man and hasn't come close to fulfilling promise, but he was finally getting some form together playing on the right prior to the ACL and I do think we have missed him.

Kind of player other clubs sign and then loan out to get experience somewhere else. Not us though. Signed as a cheaper first team option in the hope he can step up. I don’t dislike him but he’s never going to reach the kind of level we need him to.
Think of all the money we’ve wasted on him, Tel, Yang etc. We could have bought a top draw winger instead.
Yeah we essentially signed him as our Son replacement. Complete joke.

A reminder that young Wilson is in fact a good talent, considering hes only played around 1500 minutes.
Also for all the Richarlison fans, this ones for you.
He's a talent and might come good but it's still almost all potential - his actual output since joining is minimal. He's been shafted with 2 long term injuries which hasn't helped, but I think we should've gone bigger on a proven first team winger given it was clear Son was ageing out. Especially given we'd already bought 2 other teenagers that window.
Getting Tel on top of him was even more ridiculous and one of the many reasons we're in this mess. Far too much pressure to rely on kids in key positions who aren't ready yet.
I completely agree with you that we should have got a senior LW to replace Son but thats the club making shit decisions as usual and not Odoberts fault.
Odobert has ability and his numbers back this up.
I think the last 10 games or so we started to see that he was turning potential into performance.
