LauraH Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Poor guy, ACL again - http://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/major-injury-blow-for-derby-county-defender-craig-forsyth/story-29643164-detail/story.html Derby County defender Craig Forsyth has suffered a second major knee injury in the space of 10 months, the club has confirmed. Scans have revealed that Forsyth ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during Saturday's goalless draw with Aston Villa at the iPro Stadium. It is the same injury which forced him to miss a large part of last season. Forsyth is due to undergo surgery in the coming days before starting what is likely to be another long road to recovery. The left-back made his first competitive appearance since November in the recent EFL Cup first round win against Grimsby Town. He has scored Derby's only league goal so far this season - heading an 87th-minute winner at Preston last week. The Scotland international has made 131 appearances for Derby since joining the club from Watford in 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DcFc Dyycheee Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Another ACL injury to add to the list. Gutted for him, worked so hard to get back, then gets the same injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I couldn't tell from the article whether it was the same knee? If it was, so it's happened twice, is that game over for Fozzy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostyn6 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I genuinely feel sick for him. Such an honest and hardworking professional who conducts himself without fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuitYourJibbaJivin Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I'm sure it is the same knee, I really am gutted for the guy, will be a big miss this season. How many knee injuries can one club have?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashz09 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 We don't have luck with injuries do we. We're going to miss his power in the air that's for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Not only the preferred left back but our joint top scorer is out for season. Dreadful luck for Craig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 If it's the same knee that isn't good. Really gutted for him, at least he can spend some time with his new born child whilst he recovers. Every cloud and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LauraH Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 His right knee again. I always thought if you had an ACL once then the knee was meant to be stronger and very unlikely to sustain one again but obviously not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PodgeyRam Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I'm so gutted for him. After working so hard to get fit for this season and it seemed like the Fozzy of old was back; defensively solid, decent going forward, threat in the air. He'll be back, and we'll all be waiting for him when he is, to cheer him on to the pitch where he deserves to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carra Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Absolutely gutted for him. Hope his surgery and rehab goes well and we see him back out on the field soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsy1884 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Unfortunately its an all too common injury in football. Absolutely gutted for Fozzy and he is going to be another big loss. The only ray of light in this is that we do have cover a LB. Just. Hopefully Olsson will be fit enough to start vs Burton or Carlisle. He is going to be out until way into next year so hopefully Lowe will get given a chance as well. The injury list is starting to get alarmingly long now. 5 or 6 players who are potential first team players out and the season has barely begun.

Ramsley Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Absolutely gutted for the lad. Was really hoping that worst fears would not be realised but sadly its come to pass. Was overjoyed for him when he scored the other day, now this. If there is a faint chink of light for him its the newborn in the family! Suffice to say I would hope all DCFC fans are right behind him supporting him in his rehab etc! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Oh my word. Did it once. Can't imagine doing it to the same knee twice. Poor guy and so recently back. Thoughts go out to the fella who has always been a model professional, brought in by Clough on the cheap who turned him from midfielder to a splendid fullback who drilled those lovely balls across the six yard box for our rampant midfielders and forwards to bury. Pleased he's got himself on the scoresheet this season (with infinitely more league goals than any other Derby player to date!) and hope he manages a full recovery.
