Bielik Injury

Have I completely missed it or has there been no official statement as to the extent of Bielik's knee injury?

Out for the season.

I get that but what is the official diagnosis? ACL or something more complicated? His agent had his say and then it all went very quiet.

It’s definitely a knee injury. With him being out for the season it’s almost certainly an ACL.

Think the only “official” word we’ve had is Cocu saying he’s out for the season. Bit odd we didn’t get an actual club statement, we’ve tended to in the past for such major injuries if I recall. But I think it’s fair to say with it being a knee injury that it’s almost certainly an ACL. In the past that has tended to be 6 months until a return to training and 9 months until a return to the pitch roughly. From that, I would hazard a guess that Bielik will have a relatively normal pre season - maybe starting later and progressing slower than others - and then be available probably after the first international break. If all goes to plan I don’t think he’ll miss much of next season. We’ll see if I’m right.
