6 - Carles Alena

[God Serena]

Out until September or October it seems.

Yes, we need two midfielders. Offload all the flops. And ditch Griezmann if he's still leaning towards staying.

Dembele was out with the same injury for 3.5 months. Alena will be back by mid August. In time for the start of the season, but no pre-season.

July, August, September

That's 3 months. Catalan Press speculating it's more likely 4 than 3.

So October. Where did you get August from?

Anyway, we'll get an official figure after his surgery. All that we know is that it's the shittiest timing ever.

He's probably not sitting on his bum waiting for July to get his surgery. Even me as a mere peasant in a country with no health care could get surgery within 2 weeks. A footballer playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world would surely be able to get the surgery done quickly.

And honestly, who cares about the Catalan press throwing bullshit around to sell papers?

I cannot believe I have to explain this.

Let's say he has his surgery 15th June.

One month from 15th June is 15th July. Two Months from the 15th June is the 15th of August. Three months from the date of the surgery is the 15th September.

And if it's 3.5 months like Dembélé it will push him towards the end of September/Early October.

The normal recovery time is 3 to 4 months and they are NOT going to play him right away without a mini pre-season of some sort after that injury.

 

[DonAK]

How do you even establish that 3 months from the surgery date in June is Mid-August?

 

[God Serena]

I can tell you've got a bit of a pole stuck up your ass at the moment seeing that you're being so argumentative when I'm not, but I'm counting 3 months, June, July, and August. If he gets the surgery, say, tomorrow or the day after, he'd miss... June, July, and August. Possibly part of September if the half month part rings true.

 

[tacticvarium]

Omg can't still believe this happened to him at this very crucial stage of his career.
He is 20 and already wasted 0.5 year at the B team. Hope he doesn't end up like Samper.

 

[ronniecro]

no chance he'll stay with first team after this,i reckon he'll be sent out on loan

 

[Devils]

Terrible that he'll miss pre-season.

Hopefully he makes a faster than expected recovery.

After you said he'd be back for the start of the season in Mid-August and only miss pre-season, mmkay

Let's see what they say after his surgery.

 

[FCBfan22]

no alena & oriol for pre-season then .. it must be riqui chance definitely

Oriol should be back soon...

 

[Joan]

Sad for him. The worst time to be injured.

 

[xXKonan]

Onda Cero says he will return from injury Late September early October.

 

[te amo barca]

Shit luck. Without a proper pre-season there is no way EV will use him next season. I would be glad to be wrong but I think he will waste the next year on bench and then get loaned out for 1-2 seasons.

 

[Catta]

Damn, tough luck. It could be that his Barca career ended before it even started. I expect he will not get much game time except for the odd copa match in the first half of the season, and in January he will probably be sent out on loan.
