Sammys is pretty gnarly as well all the way down the front of his knee cap Must do it differently for footballers compared to us regular folk as my sister who did her ACL had it done with keyhole surgey rather than her entire knee being cut open 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Edit: now that I use my brain, of course an athletes ACL surgery is different to a regular persons and quick repair! Like an F1 mechanic vs Kwik Fit) Really liked that interview. Seem like good lads. Edited 11 September 2023 by ACF 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 11 September 2023 Share Posted 11 September 2023 Great interview, both Leicester fans which is great to hear. Not that it really matters but a fair few of those that have come through and made it in to iur 1st team don't actually support us hahaha. Really hope their recovery goes swimmingly and cannot wait to see them challenging for a 1st team spot in the coming months. It's mad there's about 6 of them all coming back from long term injuries at the same time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to seeing them both soon hopefully. After the last couple of seasons, young lads like these and the recent signings are really something to look forward to, a breath of fresh air that was much needed. Watching young players develop is a big part of it for me particularly if they can stay grounded. But ... as always, the trick from a supporters point of view is to remain grounded too and not expect too much too quickly. Accept mistakes and enjoy the journey. Good luck to both!

Popular Post Xen Posted 11 September 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 11 September 2023 Sounds like it was filmed last month as well - mentions Alves being ~8 months along (injury in December) and Luke Thomas at the club, so they're probably even further on now than what it seems in the video. Both seem to have their heads screwed on and not trying to rush things too much, which bodes well. 6+ months in the gym has probably done them both the world of good, anyway! Both had the technique already, and needed a bit more about them to be able to compete against senior pros. Very exciting to see how they both develop under Maresca - it seems like a formation that could suit both of them perfectly once they're both fully fit. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed ...what has happened to Braybrooke's hair!!! Braybrooke sounds like a young lad from the estates and Alves seems the more introverted, Alves looks as if he has filled out and Braybrroke still looks the same size. So long as there are no hiccups in their rehab then coming back into this system is made for them. The fact that Pep is the mentor of Maresca, the long-term possibility of Man. City, making overtures is a real possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be my imagination but Alves looks like he has bulked up a bit and looks like a real unit. I think being out of the reckoning for the squad during relegation hasn't done them much harm as well to be honest. Real opportunity for them both in the 2nd half of the season. Super excited for them both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two sides to this, he'll either come back an absolute monster or he'll need to lose a bit of that bulk if it's made him less agile.

His older brother Brandon has just made his senior debut for Birmingham this season, which hopefully bodes well for a breakthrough at City down the line. Goalkeeper Lewis McNab, who was picked up by City last season after being released by Exeter, is another to sign fresh terms, along with defenders Kevon Gray and Bade Aluko. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfc043 Posted 11 September 2023 Share Posted 11 September 2023 (edited) First I’ve heard of McNab, was he actually released or did we sign him for a fee? I get it’s all about opinions at that age and you don’t know for sure how they’ll develop but must be rare to go up 2 Catgeories when you are Edited 11 September 2023 by lcfc043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
