It's got a sort of Pre-Islamist look to it hasn't it?
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.
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.
This season there should be zero expectations for him. If he recovers well and doesn’t have any setbacks then 24/25 he might be back to his best. Any contribution he makes this year is a bonus.
That injury really got to him.
I see where he's going
It's like when Edge came back to WWE looking like a hobo!
That will feel like a new signing. The good thing is with Biss,Sarr and Madders is that we don’t have to rush him back. If we can get him firing leading up to the African nations then hopefully missing Biss won’t be as big a blow to us. I still think we should sign another centre mid once we sell Hojbjerg to athletico.
I really hope we don't rush him back.
What being injured and playing Baldurs Gate 3 does to a mf'er.
Will be cameos off the bench
Don’t think we can expect him back to his best until the new year. Even that’s ahead of v schedule
