So did Eriksen . I'm not saying will be the same result, just that it doesn't mean he's fine either.
Alejandro Garnacho has left Old Trafford on crutches
- Thread starter Damien
- Start date
Well yeah obviously but that's not a given. In my eyes something should have been sacrificed in this crazy intense season. We might pay for it too. If we lose at Newcastle it's definitely squeaky bum time.
I'm talking about the context of a world cup interrupted season. We are playing too many games with a squad shockingly low on quality.
He's comparatively an old man though. I expect an 18 year old to bounce back quicker.
The tackle is more chance of a injury than the Casimero one, they guys made sure he scissors his legs around both feet on ground there no wriggle room it's a sprained ankle at best then you get the Eriksen one. Impact one can be just that hurts and you can recover from it like the player did, was substituted later on In 2nd looked OK.
The officials need to clamp down more on tackles like that it's a I'll get the ball then wrap my legs around . Hope Garnacho is OK. Not out for long .

Gutting for Garnacho especially — he’d just been called up for the NT. Hopefully it’s nothing major
And not even a booking for the fecker.
Carroll got nothing for his tackle that injured Eriksen. He only got sent off for trying to cripple two more of our players.
We should have recalled Amad
These scissor tackles go under the radar but they are often worse than studs up tackles.
I thought scissor tackles were supposed to be a no no. I agree most people get up even after the majority of studs up tackles but scissor tackles are sneaky and far more dangerous.
Gutted if he's out for a extended period of time.
Only positive I can see about it is that hopefully Pellestri will get more minutes.

Pellistri can play left wing too right. Simple choice to be used there if Garnacho needs a lay off.
He's probably fine. He was running around for a bit afterwards.
Unbelievable … EtH needs to take a ban/fine for the team and call this nonsense out. Open season here.
That's a shame. Hope it doesn't keep him out for too long
Basically the rule is, you’re off if there’s a still frame of your studs going into the shin, purely because we’ve seen players break their leg that way. Any other kind of slide tackle is pretty much accepted, even though you’ll see far more knee/ankle injuries that those leg breaks.
I agree with that. We should play for both Cups.. But hopefully we can secure Top 4 as soon as possible...
If you don't win the ball and scissor it's a red. Happens regularly. Not sure why winning the ball changes that, its still a dangerous tackle, like uno, the same as winning the ball and following through high is given a red because winning the ball doesn't mitigate the danger.
Agree, impact injury apart from the leg breakers from yesteryear, players know they won't get away with those, but get away with the scissors tackle if they get the ball, both tackles on Eriksen and Garnacho went unpunished not even classed as a foul!!! The body of refs etc needs to look at these, read it was a fair tackle ?? He got the ball then takes player out.
Damn, hopefully its nothing too serious.
The scan has revealed he will miss the international matches, but does not say how long he will be out for?
Not sounding too good.

Potentially the 3rd player who's season has been ended by reckless scissor challenges, none of which even lead to bookings. Yet Casemiro gets a straight red for his foot rolling over a ball and touching someone's shin.
Massive potential loss, which is daft when you consider he's a kid with barely any experience, but he's really offered exactly what we've sorely missed far too often this season.
Hopefully he's back for the April 2nd match against Newcastle but that's probably too optimistic.
I don't know how he gets the motivation to get out of bed in the morning.
I think we are looking at another ligament damage injury.
When is he expected back?
After Rashford is expected back.
two weeks...
GNev two weeks?
Really need him back now!
He’s back wearing football boots again.
What's going on with his new deal? 3 months ago it was down to image rights, now we've not heard anything for a few months and nothing announced.
Glad to see the boots on! Like Eriksen probably a few weeks away
Pink boots. In our day, it was all black, sell him.
Sell him and bring back Pogba for the fashion!
Saw today he's been called up for the youth WC this summer but United don't want him to go. AFA are trying to get him to go but it looks like he might sit it out.
