Thiago Translantara

[utility73]

According to himself he seems to be out for "only" a few weeks this time.

 

[DrPepper]

Never seems to catch a break. Must be karma for being a traitor.

 

[Alik]

He might achieve greatness someday, but his constant injuries are one of the reasons I don't mind having let him go.

Actually he hasn't been injured for a great while.

Thse knees are knackered for good.

 

[Barcilliant]

Man is made of glass since similar to Adriano

Another example of somebody never getting over ACL injuries. Whenever somebody gets one of those, they'll never be the same again. What a shame.

Not always the case though. Some players come back to same level and it has no real lasting effect.

If not be as well just selling Rafinha!

Obviously it's not always the case but it is more often than not. Most return to their team but never reach their pre-injury form. Of all the injuries ACLs are really nasty.

Yeah a lot of quick players struggle to get past it but can remember players like Shearer and RVN getting better after theirs when young.

Even Walcott this season although now injured seems same athletically as in the past.

 

[Hamzah]

didn't xavi have an acl injury?

Yeah, he did, back in 2005.
I was at Camp Nou when he returned from the injury. It was one of the more emotional standing ovations I've seen when he was subbed on.

They do make you more injury prone.

Jese from Real Madrid has an ACL injury and he is just now looking like 60% of the player he was pre injury. These things can take a toll on your body. I fear for Rafinha when he comes back because even after you come back, there is still another 4-6 months needed to get acclimated to football.

With Thiago, he seems to have gotten back to prime from then suffers another injury. At some point it all all finally catch up.
