Calm down ? I have seen this movie before, it does not end well for us. Injury to VVD and the season is over for us.

I wonder where is the best place for him to do his recovery.
A kid moving to a new country to play football is going to find challenges but doing rehab is a whole new ball game.
Would he be better off being back home and doing his rehab there under strict guidance and supervision from the Liverpool medial team

Yeah, I was thinking that. I reckon they'll go for a hybrid approach. We'll oversee things here but once he's had his surgery it would make sense for him to be around family (which, I assume, means Italy), then once he's ready to do more intensive work with our physios he'll come back here and hopefully also bond more with his team mates. Will all depend on where his support network is. If (some of) his family have moved here then it will be a lot easier. But certainly in the short term he's going to need people around him at home.
Honestly, the thought of being on my own in a foreign country at 18 and not able to even do my job - I'm not sure how I would have handled that.
But you know what, if he chooses to stay here throughout the process then we need never question his attitude and his courage, ever.

Did he actually say it's worse than the typical ACL? Or are you assuming it's a really bad one because "about a year" is even longer than the usual recovery (around 9 months)? Because if the latter he could just have been using imprecise language and/or referring to when he's actually ready to play (ie the start of next season).
I was just going off the recovery period. He didn't say it was worse than normal. But Rodri was back playing in the same season he was injured (albeit not at top capacity) and Slot seemed to rule that out here - he said out for a year, but as you say that may be a language thing and he actually means the season. But his English is good, I'm not sure he'd make that mistake. Hopefully I'm being pessimistic.
I'd say there's a decent chance he was just ballparking it.
Actual quotes from Slot:
He is not in a good place because he tore his ACL which means he will be out around a year. Being so young and coming to a new country and playing so well in your first game, it’s very hard to take the positives. There is never a positive side but you try to look at that and that is that he is still so young and he has so many years still go to after he recovers from a terrible injury.

I think it's just a "shit happens" kind of thing. You'd point the finger at the medical guys if they didn't spot it after it had happened, but I don't think it's anything they could predict.
Sometimes there are recurring injuries players get that can be minimised through coaching (or "pre-habilitation" as the medics like to call it). I recall reading that Andy Carroll had a tendency to always land on the same leg when he went up for the header and the doctor (think it was Bruckner, at the time) was concerned that would lead to a greater injury risk over the course of his career. So the advice was to work with the player in training and get him used to coming down on either foot to reduce the chances of career-long niggles in the ankle / knee on his normal landing foot. One of those things that the average guy in the street wouldn't think of, but it's hardly rocket-science for the experts.

Is she part mermaid?
You have to laugh at all you Middle Ages cunts who turning yer noses up at some of the most beautiful women on the planet while ye crawl over glass for a 5/10 in Popworld. 😂😂😂😂
You want to see if she smells like fish?
You do know it’s all a joke right?
Only if they can be found off the Giants Causeway (clue)
It's very believable - it had me doubting my standards 😂😂😂
The lad is 18 and no doubt his bird is about the same age. I have one word to say about people who try to talk about her in that way.
Nonce.
Yeah ACL isn't something that can happen over time.
Of course scans can pick up scar tissue from previous tears. They can also do tests to test the strength of the knee movement.
However, an ACL tear is 99/100 times the act of the knee bending in an unnatural way. Either by studs sticking in the ground, landing awkwardly or a force going into the knee (usually another players body, especially in sports such as Rugby or NFL).
ACL isn't as career ending as it was 25 years ago. Its more probable he comes back than not.
Even the triple whammy of ACL/MCL/LCL that Oxlade Chamberlain got, you can come back from.
It'll be down to attitude from here. Fingers crossed for him.
I fear it'll only worsen matters by us providing advice on the wrong ligament...
I was working in a bookshop in Germany during my year out and, wearing contact lenses, managed to knock myself in the eye opening a parcel. Wasn't off work for long and got good medical attention but I can confirm it wasn't much fun.
One thing that did help as I sat in my room on the first night with a bandage over my eye was listening to radio coverage of our victory at Anfield over Borussia Moenchengladbach in the home leg of the final of the then equivalent of today's Europa League. I was back at work by the time of the second leg in Germany, which we lost, but the aggregate score was 3-2 to us.
Ah, the memories. 🙂
Did you make a full recovery and go on to be one of the top, top booksellers the world has seen?
