Joe Bennett

[MacAdder]

he is 30 now aswell , not a great injury at that age

as i follow netball aswell now, the ACL is one of the most common serious netball injuries, England Roses Beth Cobden has suffered 3 ACL injuries, she has made it back every time, currently back and in with a shout of another england call up, so its not over for Joe yet

Thats right.
This was a career ending injury only a relatively short space of time ago.
Shearer and Gascoigne were among the first footballers i can remember having an ACL tear and the reporting on it at the time was touch and go.
They made full recoveries.

If you or I suffered one it might be different but top sportspeople recover all the time these days with all the technology and support in place.

A lot of hard work needs to still happen by Joe though so providing he has the mental strength, the motivation and doesn't go on the Lee Tomlin diet, he could well be back in a City shirt.
Fingers crossed🤞

yes when i studied the ACL injury topic after my lad had it done playing Futsal I notice a high number of ACL injuries in netball too Blue matt .

the common demoninator i guess being playing on hard surface at high tempo and speed your very vulnerable to that type of injury

I think skiing gets alot of ACL injuries too

I agree, hard surface and quick change of direction , Futsal and Netball have them both in common, when i researched it, it seems a good warm up and stretching of the ACL's really does help

I know a young ( ish ) girl ( she is in her 20's ) that plays for a Development team with my daughter, she had a bad ACL tear, she stayed fit ( ish ) and was back playing netball in 2 years, that was via NHS physio work, i must admit, she has lost a massive edge to her game and people seem to think she holds back as to not have the same Injury
