Curse of the ACL injury 14:07 - Nov 4 with 3391 views | Deatho | Surely no other club has had this injury effect their squad as much as us in recent years. From memory these players have all suffered this horrendous injury: Gallen, Carlisle, Langley, Shittu, Rowlands, Buzsaky (twice), AJ, Faurlin (twice). I bet I've forgot a few as well. Lets hope Ale makes a full recovery. Class on and off the pitch. | ![](/images/avatars/2440.gif) | | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Always seem to be an important player at the time of the injury as well sadly. | ![](/images/avatars/2440.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) | Login to get fewer ads

Curse of the ACL injury on 06:39 - Nov 5 with 2851 views | qprmick | Just as an aside, my dog did one in her hind leg about 7 years ago. Cost a fortune and after a lot of rehab she is still going and she is 14 that is the equivalent of about 98 in human years. I take her for a walk twice a day and she is doing fine. Hope Ale comes back for us. Those other victims did not come back as good as ever but heres hoping. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Curse of the ACL injury on 11:41 - Nov 5 with 2654 views | HAYESBOY | This type of injury to ACL is common. Used to be career threatening but nowadays they usually take strips of hamstring from your thigh and graft them to the torn/ruptured ligament. ACL in this case. Tore my left ACL playing football 10 years ago. Took me 7 months to feel normal again. After about a month the rehab is just to get the joint moving again and go from there. Ale will be fine. He has the support of the club and the best medical support in doing his rehab correctly. He will come back and be a good player for us again. I wish him the best in his recovery. | ![](/images/avatars/1477.gif) |

They can also take a strip from your patella tendon, which is what I had back in April. Patella tendon grafts have half the re-rupture rate as hamstrings. Taking a strip from the hamstring is a slightly easier op and is supposedly more comfortable for the rest of your life when it comes to kneeling, but the patella tendon is stronger. Like you said, pretty common injuries nowadays though. | ![](/images/avatars/2027.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Curse of the ACL injury on 18:24 - Nov 5 with 2526 views | CamberleyR | They've probably always been a common injury, it's just that years ago they were lumped in together with cartilage injuries/broken legs as the treatment for them was rudimentary to say the least. Brian Clough had his career ended by a cruciate ligament injury in 1962 although it wasn't said as such until decades later. | ![](/images/avatars/1250.gif) |
