    Shit. Considering how ACL injuries permanently messed with Holding and Bellerin, this is not good at all. Hopefully Timber can avoid such a fate.

      Really gutted for him on a personal level. On a football level, I hope he can come back the same player he’s been all along.

      At least according to 3cbperformance, the problem is mostly mental statistically, which is at least something. Definitely on the eye test it feels the other way though. I miss pre-ACL Holding and Bellerin…

        @Astrealix @ThePowerOfGeek having had a recent knee injury (not torn acl but close) i think a lot of it is mental and also biomechanics; you lose so much muscle and strength in the leg with surgery and it is easy to see mechanics get thrown off as a result.

      I’m just hoping the medical and rehab team is different from Hector’s. We have yet to see how well Tomi and Jesus comes back from their knee injuries.
