[Craig Hope, Mail Sport] Jarrad Branthwaite’s season is over and, while the problem is not as bad as first feared, Daily Mail Sport understands Branthwaite is facing around two months on the sidelines. There is hope he will be back for pre-season.

Yes I am fucking worried he’s Mina 2.0. We need to spend whatever it takes on every best specialist to try and help him as much as possible because he’s that fucking good when he plays.
Just two months on the sidelines would be pretty perfect in terms of the timing for him coming back to training. I have zero medical background but it seems like this will be a regular thing for him now?
Massive shame. I genuinely wouldn’t have thought for even a second to swap him for Guehi or Konsa, think he clears them both at full fitness, unreal talent.
No surprise his season is over honestly that prognosis is better than I thought it would be. He needs to spend the summer at a Himalayan Buddhist healing temple or something at this point. Poor guy.

I’d be sending him to the best specialist in 6 countries to align on the best plan of action and then sending him to the best rehab center on the planet, if not the universe.
Feared the worst when he went down. Time out, rehab and hopefully a full preseason does him wonders. Hes been trying to catchup all season and just hasn’t worked out. Still young enough to hit his peak as centre backs tend to peak a touch later than other positions
Get the surgery now so he can be back in pre season… dont wait until November again for it to settle
Look on the bright-side. I doubt any big clubs will come calling and he will just need to have a good backup for when he is sidelined. As others have said some people’s bodies just can’t take it. It’s no one’s fault.
Have to admit, as far as long term injuries go, it’s a pretty good time to get one unless you were planning on being at the World Cup.
all too familiar a story. The club need at least one starting centre half this summer, and probably 2 given Moyes preference for O’Brien as a right back.
Treat it as a bonus when he’s fit, but you can’t build a defence around him
