fuck. At least Zaba is back

If it's right it could have been a lot worse. Cartliage damage much better than ligament damage.

True but your cartliage crumbling at the age of 23 is not a good sign.

Torn knee cartilage crumble. Sounds like a Jamie Oliver recipe doesn't it?

Hasn't Micah had knee trouble in the past?

I thought it might be one of those tears. I had one about three years ago. It sucks. Painful as fuck and you can't bend your leg.

As least he won't be spending two months waiting for an op on the NHS, unable to bend his leg like I was.

Oh right, I thought it was one of those tears which are hurtful both physically and emotionally and basically untreatable, only time can help.

It's not fun at all! I'm out until September next year at the absolute earliest. Had the meniscus in my left knee completely removed as well as an ACL reconstruction. I've been told to avoid long distance running and prolonged periods of "harsh" movement... Also, hello arthritis

Depending on the severity of his injury and depending if he has to have the cartilage removed, it could potentially be very bad news.

Um, yeah Gobby, you need to like read the bit of the article that says he had surgery to repair his cartilage. ^^^

Removing the cartilage still is mending the tear. And since when do you take articles to be 100% accurate?

No it's not!

and

rarely.

It is!

MEN saying 4 months out.....


Manchester City's Micah Richards is stretchered off against Swansea Manchester City's Micah Richards is stretchered off against Swansea

Manchester City defender Micah Richards has undergone surgery on a knee injury and could be out for up to four months.

The 24-year-old had an operation late on Monday night after sustaining the problem in Saturday's 1-0 Barclays Premier League win over Swansea.

Richards told www.mcfc.co.uk : “The positive thing is that the injury has been repaired so the knee will be as good as new.

“I have a brace on it and I am using crutches. I can’t do anything at all for the next four to six weeks and I am probably looking at 12-16 weeks before I am back in action.

“I knew straight away in the game that it was quite a bad injury. The knee locked and I couldn’t straighten it.

“I suppose it could have been even worse and not repairable which would have meant removing the meniscus; so I am being positive. Injuries are all part and parcel of the job but this coming on top of the other one I do feel a little hard done to!

“I will be working as hard as I can to get back as quickly as I can and I thank all the fans who have sent their best wishes.”

The lay-off is yet another setback for Richards who missed the start of the season with an ankle injury sustained playing for Great Britain during the London 2012 Olympics.

He made his return earlier this month in the 3-0 win at home to Sunderland but after just three further appearances he finds himself sidelined once again.

Richards collapsed in agony clutching his right knee in the closing stages of Saturday's game.

After lengthy treatment, which contributed to an additional 12 minutes being added on at the end of the match, he left the field on a stretcher and wearing an oxygen mask

LOL, Micah's stupid! Doesn;t he know that removing the meniscus is the same as doing a repair?!?

Hahaha yeah yeah aright!

Lucky you. It really really hurts.

Technically everything is a repair, but I actually had my meniscus sewn back, not removed.

Back in 3 to 4 weeks.

Technically, if you've had the meniscus taken out you haven't had it repaired.

I also had mine sewn up. Fairly innocuous procedure.

I thought it was 12 to16?

It is in the same proportions as actual penis size and what a person actually thinks it is
