Any news on Senior Benitez's right knee... where on this scale will his injury end up? 1. Badly bruised 2. Hyper-extension (aka sprained ligaments) 3. Dislocated patella (a la Gooch) 4. Completely blown out with multiple ligament tears
I don't want to speculate because I really have no idea, but man that looked brutal. All the best, Jair!
Fearing the worst, as JB immediately was signaling for the sub, the grimace on KH's face after he looked back at JB, and the way that they were strapping JB o the stretcher to limit movement. That immediate call for sub has me believing that he heard a pop or snap sound from a bone or ligament giving way. Sure would love to be wrong.
Rumor mill is saying a few weeks...FCD by policy won't comment until official league injury report comes out.
Steve Davis speculates that the knee injury is "bad" and could keep Jair out "long-term." When I first read his article, I took Davis at his word. Now it just seems like he was just guessing.
This is all Steve does anymore, speculate. It seems he either lost his good contacts, or is just gotten lazy, but I can't even read his site anymore. No longer does he support theories with reason, or facts, he just throws shit out.
Doing my best translation, it is saying nothing is broken and they have not detected any major ligament damage. The x-rays basically came back negative, which is very good news. Yes! Good for him. I love the guy -- he works so hard for this team.
He does!! Am I the only one who gets the sense that if he were to leave FCD we would hate him! He seems to be always doing something a lil cheap to opposing players pissing them off. It was good to see some of the Galaxy players go over and show him love when he was carted off though!
