OX expected to be out for the Season

[Atlas]

Any coincidence that the Ox news is announced now? Could Fekir be agreed?

Maybe that's one of the reasons we got so nervous with the fekir medical and previous knee issues.
Needing a second opinion or whatever with knowledge something might have been missed re Ox
Yes it may well have been a freak injury but ox was injured a lot at arsenal and maybe it was managed a but better than all out klopp style football?

Never thought about that side of it. I doubt we want multiple ticking knee-bombs in the squad

This whole 'didnt want to upset the squad before a big final' story doesnt make sense. The final was 2 months ago, why wait until now? They clearly expected him back sooner

No, I think all the team knew by the time they played the final. The decision to keep it going wider after that was Klopp's.

I think you are correct - I think this whole story is a load of shit - there is no way he has done that much damage - none of it makes any sense with this new return date. I think we are probably gonna get him back in Jan or Feb 2019 at the earliest. Just in time when Klopp has run our players into the ground and the injuries come up and we all go nuts at Christmas demanding a new signing and suddenly out of nowhere OX is back - it will be like having a new signing won't it everyone ?

Also - I know this sounds harsh and I am not a medical expert like my wife - but we have all seen the incident in which the damage was done - it looked like a regular gut busting tackle to get the ball - if that is going to put him out for an entire season - can we ever expect him to tackle anyone in a midfield role ? - is he going to come back like the way Sturridge has ?

Those that argue about his previous record - I never read too much into that because I think we all discussed it on here before how Arsenal players were always injured - and the underlying reasons.
