Hopefully it's not too bad, it didn't look too bad at the time, fingers crossed for him, he has been having a very good season so far.

As soon as Nasri went over you could tell it was a bad one. He signalled to bench immeadiately. Be lucky to make World cup. Massive shame as he has been a top performer this season. Get well soon lad

Its a medial ligament injury by all accounts and he could be out of action between 3 to 7 weeks.

Where is this being reported? Only 3 weeks for ligament damage?

If it is medial that's about right, you refer to 3 weeks but ignored the 7. It's more likely to be closer to 2 months for say you and I but these guys will get much better treatment of course.

When I did my ACL it was initially diagnosed by the hospital as medial ligaments and they advise a couple of months.

If it is an MCL tear it is more like several months, as much as 9 if surgery is the only solution. If it is a strain, a month or two is best case.

Should be banned for as long as Nasri is out.

Cuntish challenge that gets brushed off as 'taking one for the team' when counter attacks are on etc.

In my opinion it's blatant cheating and worse than diving because although it doesn't always result in injury it can! Gutted if it's long term and Nasri misses the World Cup, he's been a shining star this season.

Did that wanker of a manager pardew have owt to say anout this.
Did he fuck!!

No thats not corect as I understand it.

As per my previous post a grade 3 is the most severe level of 'tear'

'A grade 3 tear usually takes from four to eight weeks to heal, unless it is associated with damage to the ACL, in which case the recovery time may be longer'

Nothing will be done, it's a City player we're talking about here. Imagine if it was Jaccuzi who'd been taken out like that, there'd be fucking uproar.

Unfortunately too true. Doubt the 'tackle' will even make the reports. Have read sky sports review on phone and it just says Nasri injured in a challenge!

[Beefymcfc]

Just a thought, with Nasri out it may mean that one of the many French players within the Newcastle ranks would have a shot at the World Cup.

And I agree with what another Blue said, Pardew sent them out in the 2nd half with a no holds barred mentality and with the ref's inadequacies he knew they'd either get away with it or have a decent excuse for their behaviour.

Somebody asked me a while back why I acnnot stand Pardew. Well, some of what we saw today will explain it. He's a horrible cowardly scrote who thinks he's above all and sundry. Can't think of anything worse than being associated with that twat, even if it is for just 90 minutes.

Hahah that's the best nickname I've heard for him.
Fair play.

I'm not sure about that.....does anyone really make a fuss about mid table teams?

That occurred to me too.

[PrezIke]

how this was not a red i have no damn clue. what a joke. it's one thing to disallow a goal, it's another to let that mistake lead to a tackle that seriously injures a player.

You know that thought had never occurred to me, but I am a sucker for conspiracy theories, so I totally believe it. I had a quick look at what their fans were saying after the game, and it is bigger bollox than Chinners provides !

I am baffled as to how Cabaye has been missed in all this.

He was on a yellow and ran full speed into Navas and bowled him over, nowhere near getting the ball.

In anyone's book that's a second yellow. Not even up for debate.

Newcastle should have finished the game with 9 men, and they want to talk about a disallowed goal.

I think Sissoko was lucky to stay on the field as well.

The fucking ref kept doing his best to 'even things out' all of second half ... he wasn't reffing the game, he was simply looking at each incident and giving it to them thinking this'll even it out for them and then right after that his brain was signalling that nah, not yet evened so next one has to go their way too ... guess he was going to continue doing that till they scored a goal, which never came ...

[Breks]

Cabaye, santon and yanh-mbiwa should have all been sent off. That kick to nasri's knee was an assault.

If the injury is the medial collateral ligament of the knee, recovery time will depend on extent of the tear. Incomplete 2-6 weeks. Complete 6-12 weeks. Good news are that an isolated medial ligament injury will heal. Sooner or later.

It is different from a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament(ACL). ACL-injuries, suffered by Bell and Lake, are much more serious, and will most often require surgery and a long rehabilitation.

by recovery do you mean damage repaired, back in training, or back into premier league football?

Damage repaired, basically. Then up to the med team and physio to deside what is next. 8 weeks is guide. There are individual differences both among players and not at least clubs.
