Yannick Bolasie

[maccavennie]

He's off his crutches, walking and in the gym now. I'm not an expert on ACL injuries but that might mean it's far better than initially feared - potentially a cameo again at the end of the season?

I've seen that mate but I still think he's a long way from being selected again mate. He's due to be fit in about 9/10 months time as he needed 2 operations so don't think he'll be anywhere near ready by the end of the season.

Even when he comes back we are going to have to give him a few months time to acclimatise again so I'm personally not expecting him to be in a position to make a massive contribution until Feb/March 2018

Rehab can be pretty slow after an ACL, but much depends on the fitness of the player. Just as critical will be the psychological impact of an injury like this. Really feel for any professional sportsman/woman going through something like this, that kid at Bournemouth (Connor Wickham I think), came back from long term injury and has now done his other ACL, out for another 12 months, horrendous.

Modern methods focus on starting rehab as soon as possible. I had a crutch for the day of my reconstruction and thats it.

He'll not be fit till October at the very earliest. It's usually a 9 to 14 month injury

Chrimbo at the earliest

Chrimbo at the earliest

Or to be realistic, he won't be back to his *ahem* "best" for another two years, if at all.

 

[Librarian]

give him one of those blades (but wait until Fed 15th just in case)

Love watching bolasie playing

Love watching bolasie playing on his phone whilst sat on the bench, with the actual good footballers on the pitch.

Fixed.

this time next year he'll be fully fit and raring I reckon.

We'll see

If he can get on the pitch before the new season it will be a miracle.

Jay Rodrigues did his nearly 3 years ago and he still hasn't really got back to full fitness. Not wishing this on Bolasie but recovery isn't always straightforward.

Loads have come back from it stronger though so works both ways.

Have to wonder how he'd have played in our recent run of form. Feel like we all just remember him from the first half of the season when we were a poor team anyway.

It's almost as if the upturn in form coincided with Bolasie not playing isn't it.
