He may have thought it was more important he was fit for the Reading game than the Preston match. I have a feeling he will play against Reading

If the physio even suspected ACL or PCL, seriously doubt he would have been bending the knee ?

That's my point. I'm fairly certain i saw him bend it a few times. Someone in the East Stand might be able to confirm?

My other half ripped his ACL in a bike accident, which was only aspirated at the hospital. He walked/limped on it for several months (albeit in a lot of pain) before the doctor finally diagnosed it.
As Bong was going past the north stand, on the stretcher, it looked as though his knee was slightly raised and bent, with padding underneath it for support.

I'd say that. I say that now, and I'd have said that before the game too.

I'm pretty sure that I did mine in 2000/2001, and it was only diagnosed last year. This is despite going through an X-ray, MRI and exploratory keyhole surgery.
Possibly but it really depends on what the medical diagnosis was. if there was a danger of causing a long term injury then obviously not

Yes, he definetly bent it 2-3 times.

He went back to his doctors because his knee cap kept dislocating. He fell over in the street when it gave way (stone cold sober I might add) with his knee cap at right angles to his leg. He was in surgery within 2 months.

Like CH before the game I would have said with Murphy back we could and should have won the game so sensible to rest Stephens if there was a slight doubt. Hindsight says that wasnt the correct move.

Actually, as we don't know to what extent Stephens was injured or to what extent he may have agitated it, in hindsight we got a point and Stephens may only be out for one game when it could have been/gotten worse..
100% this.
The rest of the team let us down but it happens. Could have easily lost that game with playing with 10 men near the end.

That happened to me intermittently (approx every six months) for over a decade. I'm not so sure my knee cap was at right angles to my leg, although I became rather adept at clicking the knee back into place -- relocating the kneecap?
Exactly my point earlier in this thread, unusual to bend it. He might bend it, if it was ?medial. All very hypothetical of course.
played there in the cup final.....

When the surgeon looked during the keyhole exploration his ACL had gone completely. There was nothing to hold his knee cap into place. The first op used a webbing which then in turn, went. 15 years later he had a new ACL constructed from a piece of his hamstring.

No news still? Tomorrow will probably be the day. Everything crossed that it's not too serious

If we see him this side of New Year I reckon we should consider that a result.

No info on Gaetan whatsoever. Just going by how bad it looked.
Someone on here said earlier that the club are waiting for test results so that may still be the case.
