First Degree (Mild). This injury is the most common and usually the most minor. This injury is a ‘pulled muscle’ with a structural disruption of less than 5 percent. With a first-degree injury, you can expect to be back to sports within 1 to 3 weeks.
Second Degree (Moderate). This injury consists of a more significant, but still incomplete muscle tear. This a partial muscle tear and requires 3 to 6 weeks of rest and recovery before you can return to full activity.
Third Degree (Severe). This injury results in complete tearing of the muscle–tendon unit. A third-degree muscle strain can take many weeks or months to fully heal.
So 1st or 2nd degree with the way he walked off the pitch. Out for 1 to 6 weeks then. Damn. But Adrian is a decent keeper and with the change in rules it suits his strengths (distribution and reflex saves).So Klopp seems to say that it's probably a torn calf muscle since Alisson felt like something hit him from behind:
And Lucas.
Except when did right when he was starting to look very good and was then out for a year.
Not sure exactly an update is it
They'd know if it was achilles straight away, so it wasn't that. Most likely his calf.
I know. You can't bear any weight with a complete Achilles tear. Even if partial tear you struggle to put any weight on it.
We'll be fine.
All these unnecessary fears will disappear when Adrian becomes the hero against Chelsea on Wed.
Pretty sure he'd have gone to Matip for the super cup anyway. Think he'll continue to play Gomez against 'lesser sides' though.Out for 4 to 6 weeks..
Luckily there is a 2 week international break in that..
Steady Defensive partnership required.
We should revert to Matip VVD at the back for this period.. Experienced back line needed to cope with the change in keeper..
That's not correct, I completely tore mine 18 months ago...walked off the field, drove home and then drove to the hospital....you can put weight on it, but you don't have great flexibility in the foot.....it's bloody painful mind, so it probably is not his Achilles as he didn't look in that great a discomfort
You're in the minority. I am a physio, so think I know this shit TBF.
