No operation for this, I think.

The rest actually might do him good as he never really had one over the summer. Trying to look at it positively in that way. Use this time to recharge

In a way it could be a blessing in disguise if I dare to be that glass half full person.
The schedule isnt to difficult, Messi gets a much needed rest to be fresh for the rest of the season and others are forced to step up.
As long as he recovers 100% and comes back good as ever, it might not be the end of the world.
Eventhough I lost 50 quid in 2 minutes betting on him to score twice.

No. Just rest and physiotherapy.

 

[Sumlit]

MCL doesn't need surgery unless it is some extreme case, usually accompanied by other ligament tears. Rest, physical therapy, likely a knee brace and pain meds is enough.

If he was to have a knee injury, he had the milder one. As long as you don't tear the big 2, Anterior and Posterior Cruciate Ligaments (ACL and PCL) and injure the Meniscus cartilage, you aren't in terrible risk and just likely need rest and milder treatment.

Pedro really should have stayed patient and either left in Jan or gone next summer if he wanted.

MCL injuries are nowhere near as serious as ACL, and with modern medicine, even ACLs are completely repaired in most cases and are actually stronger then before break. The greater issue with these injuries is psychological, more surrounding injuries due to overcompensation for the recovering injury and just returning to overall fitness. Tendons are far more problematic for future career.

You seem to have knowledge on this, for how long will he have to wear a brace? Will it cause him to loose musclemass?

 

[XaviMessiGirl]

Ugh... hope he gets well soon and gets back to his best.

I've gone through an MCL tear myself. Only issue is it takes shitload of time to heal because of the limited bloodflow to the area. Besides that, I am totally pain free now. I'm sure with the kind of medical staff that Barca have, Messi will recover much faster. Losing musclemass- not much, but definitely some, but nothing that won't regrow after he returns to regular training. Muscle memory is a fantastic thing

 

[Zincubus]

What happened ??

Just a fluke injury or was he taken out ??

 

[Zincubus]

Would be hilarious to play both Munir and Sandro in the clasico... and win.

We might as well play Douglas as well then .... and really humiliate them ....

....... and wake .....

OK, thanks for the response. Lets hope he heals well.

But still 2 months with Messi is just to long.
