Lucky it wasn't an amputation....

That reminds me of my poor uncle who went into hospital with a pain in his leg. Turned out it was a tumour and his leg had to be amputated.
When he went into the theatre they cut off the wrong leg. Of course he then had to have surgery to remove the "correct" other leg.
He tried to sue the hospital but the judge said he did not have a leg to stand on.
 
Kudus back after the break, possibly Maddison and Bentancur back and now Kulusevski on insta saying his knee is now better after a small intervention to clear up ‘what shouldn’t have been there’.

We might just might have a chance with quality coming in but the club need to get the manager sorted ASAP and sort it properly.

The problem is match sharpness. Personally I’d hope that we start Kudus against Sunderland but for Maddison and Kulusevski I’m doubtful we see them again this season despite Tudors comments, and if we do somehow see them again I doubt we see much quality from them.

I wouldn't want to start any, wrap them up in cotton wall at this rate, put Kudus and Bentancur from 60 minutes onwards and Maddison and or Kulu from 80 minutes. See how things go from there.

Kudus from the bench at Sunderland, coming on and beating players off the dribble, creating chances… would be a huge boost for everyone

The player's patella (knee cap) healed in December. But the knee has been swelling up after training on the grass (and its been painful when swollen) which is why he had one op and now it seems a 2nd op 2 weeks ago.

This injury to patella seems to be very unusual, and hence its treatment plan not well understood, but he seems to have been very unlucky in the several courses of treatment not working as expected.

Sadly I think that extra 'minor op' probably rules out Kulusevski out of an April return, and now very possibly optimistic for May/this season too which is a great shame - started this season with a hope to return after September 2025 internationals, then 'definitely before end of December 2025' .

Really unlucky with this uncommon injury

Could have been worse the other leg could have got better 😆
