Jesus that's insane, poor guy

 

[Windhook]

I'm sad about him. What could have been a great season turned to recovery.

 

[Horatio]

disgusting news. At least it proves we haven’t made a pact with devil unlike some.

 

[Alik]

Shouldn't have any expectations now.

 

[Andresito]

12 months is on the high end though. Could be back for preseason best case.
But let him recover in peace.

It’s the conservative timeline for a young player but concur, let the kid recover without any pressure

 

[Messi983]

He's sadly finished.

We'll loan him to the best club in the world in two years.

Finished at 17? Would be record-breaking, but I doubt it's true. He can come back and play good football again. Maybe not at the level he would if not for the injury, but that's a different story.

Certainly not praying to the gods of knee injuries while making U20s play 70+ mins every 3 days, that's for sure

Would rather he takes 18 months to recover. He's a generational talent. And the easier it is to recover for him the better for him and us.

 

[Barcaman]

He's not pace reliant. Should be fine once he gets back.

 

[jamrock]

He was already slow, if he gets even slower after this injury, his position and reading of the game, will have to be close to busquets tier, in order to make up for it.

That is actually worse, losing a step means you are becoming slow player at the age of 18, in an era were being fairly athletic is necessity.

With that said, ACL shouldn't guarantee losing pace even with meniscus involved. There is a chance he returns with the same physical profile.
