The Majorcan based correspondent on the other board is suggesting that he's done both his cruciate and his anterior ligaments and will be out for 9 months.
Awful injury
:crap:
Sounds unlikely they would know so soon?
Poor bugger.
The spotlight at last turns to shine on him and.. boom.
He'll be back.
Speedy recovery Rhys.
Warnock's quotes and Wales Online
Rhys Healey's season has been left in tatters with Neil Warnock fearing Cardiff City's rookie striker is facing at least nine months out after a double knee ligament injury.
Healey went down in agony after his studs appeared to catch in the turf after a surge into the Rotherham box in the first-half of the Bluebirds' thumping 5-0 win over the Millers.
And the 22-year-old – making his first league start at Cardiff City Stadium – covered his face with his shirt as he coped with the pain from the innocuous looking incident.
Warnock will now wait for details of a scan on Monday to see the full extent of the damage to the former Newport County loan star's left knee.
But he said initial prognosis suggested the striker had damaged both the cruciate and anterior ligaments, meaning it could be “at least” a nine-month recovery.
Warnock said: “Even with the result, Rhys' injury soured everything because we think he's done both ligaments. He's gone for another scan but it would be a major blow.
“He's done so well for us, given us a new lease of life with that goal against Burton and winning the penalty the other night and it's so disappointing to see him miss out with a nothing injury because his studs got caught in the turf.
“We'll know for sure next week but if it is both ligaments it will be nine months if he's lucky. It's disappointing to say the least.”
Horrible injury after such a promising season.
Stephen McPhail recommended him.
All early signs suggest it will be a long term injury which is gutting for a player who was enjoying championship football and ready to show if he can play at this level. One player is temporarily out so the opportunity will be there for the taking for another player - Mark Harris? Hopefully Healey comes back strong.
Warnock suggested the 9 month and double break in post-match interview.

I think that's his time with us done unfortunately
Hopefully, the disappointment will drive the kid on after his recovery.
Bad injuries affect the mentality as well as the physicality.
Good luck to him.
I sadly called it correctly at halftime during the match on my FB page having seen it happen right in front of me in real time.
It was quite obvious from the lack of physical contact, the way he went down and his obvious agony on the pitch. Having seen these before, it all added up.
Now confirmed by the club, he's done both ligaments, needs surgery and will be out for 9 months. Gutted for the lad, but I guess he's young enough to come back from what would've been a career ending injury in the past.
Young striker facing nine months out after devastating ligament injuries
Cardiff City have confirmed that Rhys Healey needs surgery after tearing his anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in Saturday’s game with Rotherham United.
The club said:
"Rhys will shortly undergo surgery to repair the damaged ligaments, before a process of rehabilitation that could be up to nine months.
"We all offer Rhys our very best wishes during this difficult time in his career and look forward to seeing him back in action later in 2017."
We wish Rhys all the best in his recovery.
