Rob Holding: The Return

[Preacher]

Rob Holding: Of players aged 23 and under, only Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (67.7) is making more passes per game than Holding (61.4) in the Premier League this season (5+ apps)

He was very important for our build-up. Will we make a move in January or will Koscielny and Mavropanos be enough ?

 

[Manberg]

I hope to see him recovering and back in time for pre-season.

 

[Sniper Mik]

From 6 to 9 months out. Gutted.

Hopefully closer to 6. Didn't Walcott come back within 7 months? As a centre back age is definitely on his side though. He has a massive future here.

 

[Ricardinho]

He's a big strong lad so hopefully that will be a positive in his recovery and keep the timeframe to a minimum.

 

[jmsmtthw28]

horrible news but I'm sure Holding will come back stronger.

The referee has some responsibility for this. United were making snide little tackles throughout the first half, someone was always going to get hurt,

 

[krengon]

I tore my acl in February and had the operation in July. I'm not running yet, but not far off. If this is an acl rupture, he will miss the rest of this season and potentially most next season also.

Professional athletes usually come back within 6 to 9 months( usually closer to 9) and they’ll operate pretty soon so he should be back for the start of next season unless there are setbacks.

Gutted for him, just when he was getting a chance regurlarly as a starter.

Just when I was beginning to think that he could be knocking on the england squad if he keeps on improving this year

I guess the positive is that an injury like this won't dramatically impact his game since it's not based on physical traits like pace and acceleration.

[Gooner Zig]

He could come back earlier if they do the LARS treatment but I don't know if that's even considered a viable option anymore. Rather just do the full reconstruction and recovery.

ACLs used to be career ending, now elite athletes can make 100% recoveries

 

[Jae]

Will definitely have to sign a CB in January now.

I think Theo’s injury against Sp**s in 13/14 is what did for him, he looked lethal before that one. Think he lost a yard after.

 

[say yes]

Gutted for the lad but don’t think this will affect us too much.

We have loads of CBs at a similar level and can always recall Chambers if required.

Ideally we’d go out and sign a top CB in January but that was the situation before his injury too.

Dammit

 

[HBL]

Chambers is playing well at the minute and is finally getting a consistent run of games, don't think we should recall him. Let him stay at Fulham for the rest of the season and then re-evaluate in the summer, could sell him for a decent fee if he continues to impress or we can decide to keep him.

Just seen on twitter that there isn't a clause which allows us to recall him in January anyway.

 

[Preacher]

BIG Rob. Good luck in your recovery path.

 

[A_G]

I think Theo’s injury against Sp**s in 13/14 is what did for him, he looked lethal before that one. Think he lost a yard after.

Walcott is an interesting case because, although he lost some pace, he still played very well in the 2nd half of 14/15 and 1st half of 15/16. Even the following season he managed 19 goals, so it shows that you can come back from this.

 

[celestis]

Rashford didn't even get the ball there , he went through him .

 

[Rimaal]

That's sad news.
I hope he get better soon.
