A significant number of players never recover as the knee will never be the same. Look at Bellerin. Post repair he fell off a cliff. Timber clearly ruptured his ACL as can be seen in that slow motion videos that were on Twitter. You can see the femur going forward and the knee cap popping up, and then the femur popping back as he planted his right foot. I would say March-April return at best. Then we have to see how he performs. This is tragic.
Remember when Turkish said is tear of joy when KDB out of Injury?
Karma !!!!!
Declan rice is gonna get injured next, typical arsenal every year…….
Just gutted
ACL injuries are the worst. best of luck to him because he's gonna need it…
Why o why….timber noooooooo! Havertz useless n nothing happens to him 😒
Arteta bringing him on in second half after a knee knock was naive
Arsenal's medical staff needs to be looked at. Did you hear what Arteta said after the game. He said he trusts what the medical staff had said to him after they assessed Timber at half-time. The medical team obviously got that assessment of Timer completely wrong. But even so i Wonder why they decided to risk playing him in the 2nd half regardless considering they saw how awkward he looked after his bad moment he had with his knee in the first half. This is not the first time that players end up being out of action due to injury longer than they should have been due to Arsenal's medical team and manager's wrong decision making. You guys should do discussion video on it.
I think we should consider a loan for somebody, cus its not like we will not have timber, we will have him for after 6/7 months and loan is a perfect option because we will not overload the positions for next seasons. COYG!!!
Arteta is to be blame keep playing these guys out of their position
Blaming medical is dumb…
SACK MEDICAL STAFF!!!
srsly our best player in the last couple months 🙁
Not arsenal fan but what a shame for the lad . That's a bad injury 😕
Why in the first place did Arteta deploy him to full back 3,, Timber is a central defender,, quick recovery boy,we are praying for you back here in Kenya 🙏🙏
It's like buying an appliance that blows up the moment you try using it, then finding out you have no warranty!
Enjoy your descent into obscurity gunners.
Money you'll NEVER GET BACK!!!
When I did my knee, I felt something go wrong in my knee but there was no pain…just an odd feeling. 10 minutes later next play, it ruptured. I have to say this and anyone who’s ever had an acl, you are never the same. You change how you move, run, you are a new type of athlete, a more conservative one. You lose explosiveness, arial ability. You fear twisting and turns. Really sad to hear this happen to Timber. I’d rather break a bone than an acl. ACL’s are never the same.
Ffs we really need to turn down a notch on strenuous training.
It depends on the kind of injury if it's grade 1 or 2 then we are lucky but if it's grade 3 like I had then it's 7-8 months out and you need to learn how to run again It is kinda fed up…. Finger 🤞 it's not grade 3 tear
Both signings from Man city is injury prone.
Karma – Turkish was happy with the KDB injury – don't celebrate a man's suffering for your own benefit
Could see when it happened it was serious. Has anyone ever had an ACL and come back just as good?
I'd like to see us use Tierney and get back to having some bloody width! We so rarely cross the ball.
Arteta is to blame
Kiwior
A Typical arsenal player. Does any other team have more injuries than arsenal ever. Was even worse under wenger.
Absolutely ridiculous, what a joke, bet the player is distraught. Don’t know what turkish is on about trying to differintiate the injury, it’s a career ending injury. He’ll be out for 9 months and won’t be the same player if he comes back at all.
Robbie must have felt what chelsea fans were feeling after nkunku injury……he was mocking chelsea fans for loosing nkunku to injury for the next 4 months…..now timber will be out for 8 months that's apparently the whole season😢, its hurting but never enjoy the injuries of rival players bcoz you never know what will happen to the players of your club…..quick recovery jurian timber.
Horrible injury. Changed Van Dijk forever, though he's much older than Timber.
As someone who has done two ACLs (one in each knee) they can be drastically different each time
The first time I tore my ACL I literally jumped 15cm in the air to grab a rebound in a basketball game.. similar to Jurien, no one else was around, I wasn’t touched and the only damage I did was tear my ACL. I was able to comeback 100% and that knee feels stronger then it ever was tbh (because of all the extra physio)
On the contrary the second time I landed awkwardly after getting hit mid air while playing basketball. I tore my MCL, ACL, partial LCL tear with a lot of meniscus damage.. that knee has only now 4 years later, started feeling like normal and it’s still dodgy
I think the way Timber injured his knee he will able to come back quickly without alot of long term issues.. he wouldn’t have a lot of meniscus damage
On my first injury I was in the gym doing squats a couple weeks later to keep my strength up before my surgery
While with my second injury I was in a knee brace for weeks
Really sucks, he was arguably the most promising signing, he looked fantastic. Very bad news.
Most players don't recover from ACL injuries
Hindsight is a bitch isn’t it? In an ideal world plenty of blame to go around. These are the risk each player take every time they enter the pitch. Technology is not as advanced as it should be when you spend the kind of money being spent on these athletes. At halftime there should had being a scan that could “percentagize”, risk vs reward if they continue to play.
Cecil finding excuse already for when they dnt win the title 😂😂
