It's got a sort of Pre-Islamist look to it hasn't it?I’m not loving the beard
An ACL is often described as a two-year injury, one to heal then another to regain full confidence in planting and cutting and being athletically explosive again on the knee.I am a Bentencur fan but with this long term injury it is a whole lot different to be fit to play and play as well as he did before the injury. He has had no pre season and will have to compete with the other midfield players for mins. With only weekend matches he will find it difficult to break into the team and even if he plays COULD be a shadow of his best for some time. I think it will be January before he is back to his best.
