Surely 2013 no? 

That's what I was thinking ... interesting from TT with both Alonso and the left footed Sarr on the bench ...

He couldn't put any weight on it. That usually indicates of a worse kind of injury. Remains to be seen.. 

It's always hard to tell. Van Dijk was out for a year and he walked off the pitch unaided.

It’s not official until @coco says it’s official. 

I think the standing ovation was 'official' enough.

That's a 2 month lay off at least surely

Unfortunately, ya — if it is an MCL sprain it is  usually 5 to 8 weeks for healing and another 2 to get back to fitness. Hopefully not ACL (that’s 9 - 12 months). On the quick video clip though, the weird bending didn’t look like an ACL injury.

He’s got those before! I’m given him a couple. 

Video of Chilwell's injury:

Perhaps it's just me but I think I can see something pop on the right side of his right knee when he plants that foot.

That is a massive blow to us. Absolutely massive.

West Brom last season?

Oh well done - good memory !

Isn't Alonso also out... A bit light on that left side. Dave to the rescue it is.

He was getting changed to come on but I think Dave beat him to it.

Friend of mine got that back in school. Took him about 2 months just to be able to walk to class normally. 

That look from Mendy after he had to make a save 

Imagine loads of us were crying out for Sancho, I'd take Chilwell every day of the week. 

Mendy saving us again.

Plenty of us were sceptical about signing Chilwell. 

If Chilly's out, we need to buy a LB in January. 

One of our own............

Dearie me, you have to score those - on his strong foot as well.

Dave can do the job!

He's a freak.

He planted his feet and the challenge on the legs twisted his knee

That doesn’t bode well at all then, hopefully it’s not as bad as it looked.

Looks like Saul might have to be a back up left wing back

I forgot Mason was playing.. 

Why did he place it?? Just blast one in!!

Probably got a few left backs at Cobham that can fill in. Heck one of them will probably oust Shaw from the England team by the end of the season and we don't even know his name yet LOL.

Slowly becoming a key player. This is a huge moment for him!
