Really? He backed off about 10 yards, enough that Lookman could curl it bottom corner either side and it's a likely goal. 

It was a footballing pleasure to see Van Dijk being majestic  in a Leicester win.   

 

KDH and Lookman were immense in getting our goal.  They play for a capable team.

 

There were times when Van Dijk seemed to have three times more time than he should have done.

 

Likewise, it was a pleasure to see Salah.  I don't  think he lost the ball once in front of us in the first half.  Magnificent player.  Even better:  despite not losing the ball, Luke Thomas was keeping him at bay!

 

I do find it easier to appreciate opposition excellence when Leicesterwin.

I give you

Alan Shearer, Ruud Van Nistelroy, Xavi, Zlatan, Roy Keane

You could probably name a world class team from 1-11 and subs who have recovered from an ACL

Recovered of course, but never had a setback or were the same player as before?

Found this analysis for Shearer and Van Nistelroy. 

Alan Shearer
The standard-bearer for overcoming long-term injuries. Alan Shearer recovered not only from an anterior cruciate knee ligament injury suffered in his formative years, but returned from ankle ligament damage while at Newcastle. His Premier League goal haul of 260 may never be bettered, and that was recorded despite being sidelined for at least half of three separate seasons.

Shearer suffered his first setback during his debut season at Blackburn in 1992. Then just 21, the England striker had been signed for a British record £3.6million, and was in the midst of a campaign which had seen him score 16 goals in the first 21 games of the inaugural Premier League season. Disaster struck on Boxing Day of that year, as he ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in a game against Leeds. Shearer subsequently scored 96 goals in 117 league games across the next three seasons. Not bad.

Then came the second long-term injury. Playing in a pre-season game against Chelsea in the Umbro Cup in 1997, Shearer damaged his ankle ligaments, and missed the opening half of the season. With the World Cup looming the following summer, his hopes of making the England squad to feature in France was shrouded in doubt. Shearer struggled to regain his form instantly, scoring just two goals in 17 Premier League games in the 1997/98 season, and was forced to adapt his game from all-round striker to bonafide target man. The change went fairly well; he scored 121 goals in 255 games across the following eight seasons, this despite continuing to struggle with ankle and knee problems which eventually forced his 2006 retirement.

 

 

Ruud van Nistelrooy
‘Manchester United have broken the British transfer record to sign PSV Eindhoven striker Ruud van Nistelrooy for £18.5m,’ reads the headline from the BBC Sport in April of 2000. Further down the article is the following sub headline: ‘Deal subject to medical.’ Quite.

Van Nistelrooy had been lined up by United to become their most-expensive signing ever, replacing Dwight Yorke in more ways than one. But while United knew they were purchasing a clearly talented striker, they were also aware of the issues – or issue. The Dutch striker had not played for his club, PSV, since March due to recurring problems with his knee. United wanted the forward to undergo keyhole surgery to correct any lingering problems. The striker refused, citing his wish to play at Euro 2000 with Holland. United subsequently called a press conference, thought to be confirming the deal, but they instead announced that they were postponing it for further tests to be carried out. That was on April 25. Three days later, United’s fears turned out to be prescient; Van Nistelrooy ruptured his knee ligaments in a training session, and missed the next year.

Of course, the deal was completed 12 months later, with Van Nistelrooy recovered from the injury. After such a long spell on the sidelines, it was expected that he would struggle to regain the form which had seen him score 111 goals in 144 games in the Eredivisie. Not a chance. He scored twice on his Premier League debut, and proceeded to fire in 95 goals in 150 league games for the club.

To be fair Justin had a 'set back' imagine it happens a lot...

 

No need to rush him back just let him get back to fitness correctly

Setback could be a simple as tweaking a muscle, feeling some soreness or got covid. 

 

 

 

Exactly.....

Van Nistelrooy was signed by United from PSV and he immediately did his ACL at Euro 2000 and was out for a season. He came back and scored 95 league goals in 150 league games.

Realistically this season is over. Just please don't rush him back for the sake of some end of season dead rubbers and fvck him again like we've done multiple times before.

This seems likely to me. Can't see him being fit to train properly until sometime in February. He's had no match play for several months and will need to be reintroduced to the game gradually, probably in the under 23s. Then there may be adverse reactions to deal with.

Mid April possibly for full fitness? Even that might be a stretch.

What you saying we should stick him up front? :D

I'd speculate it was either his first training session of a certain type and he's expressing how k*******d he is or last before moving on to  higher intensity. Boots look too clean to have been used outdoors (just call me Sherlock), last gym / physio session perhaps? Or maybe they belong to that Villareal c*** and he's had him taken out.
