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🤞
