• Vydra injury.

Posted: **Sat May 07, 2022 6:17 pm**

I hear he played for 80 mins at Watford with an ACL injury and will be out around 9 months. If that's the case, I can't see him being offered a new contract. I hope the injury is not true.

Vydra !?

Posted: **Sat May 07, 2022 6:24 pm**

I think you’ve made it up

I’d be very surprised if Vydra managed 80mins with an ACL injury

Posted: **Sat May 07, 2022 6:26 pm**

As someone who has had an ACL injury, there is absolutely no chance you could play on it for 75/80 minutes. Mine gave way repeatedly (once/twice a day) whilst waiting for my surgery (granted, I way probably two Matej Vydra’s!!!!).

If it was an ACL then why did it not come up in the press conference when Jackson gave an update on injuries

ACL doesn't automatically mean ruptured which we know is a very serious injury.

My fault for not spell checking, what I’d meant to be Vydra.

Can understand them not wanting to alert Villa to an injury but he did sustain it at Watford and I believe it is an ACL.

Gutted for him then.

Do you know if we’d offered him a new contract?

Posted: **Sat May 07, 2022 8:44 pm**

I’m 4 months post acl reconstruction and I don’t recall him going down in a crumpled heap. Hopefully it’s just a minor tear.

Wow, that’s terrible news for him going into a summer without a club. I’m amazed by that considering the agony I was in on mine, but I guess there must be levels of severity and he may not have known what he had done at the time.

Posted: **Sat May 07, 2022 9:28 pm**

Bad news for him and for us. Going to miss his craft

Posted: **Sat May 07, 2022 9:30 pm**

I think we will offer him a new contract, for at least the length of his recovery.

Posted: **Sat May 07, 2022 10:01 pm**

Has this been officially confirmed anywhere - he didn’t look in any discomfort today kicking the ball about at half time…

Are you sure we’re talking about the same Verda?

Why was he kicking the ball around at HT though?

Posted: **Sat May 07, 2022 10:12 pm**

Sure as well Marney a few years ago did a ACL injury and when he got it he wanted to come back on the pitch not know how serious it was.

He was fully track suited up, obviously not playing as injured, but can’t see it being ACL with the way he was walking fine and also passed a ball a couple of times as he walked back to the dug out alongside JBG

Posted: **Sat May 07, 2022 10:26 pm**

Hopefully then a medial ligament strain or something and a weeks rest may get him a place on the bench at spurs, then back near the starting 11 for the crucial Villa/ Newcastle games.

Posted: **Sat May 07, 2022 10:30 pm**

I am saving up for a Veranda.

Ince I have enough for an a and an n, I will have it.

Anyone got any spares?

Posted: **Sat May 07, 2022 10:50 pm**

Might have to stick Cornet up front again as an emergency measure, just as he was hitting top form, shite news.

Posted: **Sun May 08, 2022 11:09 am**

I have had a high grade sprain of my ACL since a footballing injury last October. Accepted I am far from elite level at 39. The MRI shows the ligament hanging around the knee like a bust elastic band. I can walk and jog but can't kick a ball through laces. MSK have said it falls short of an op with a 12 month rehab following surgery. ACL injuries are horrible.

Posted: **Sun May 08, 2022 10:55 pm**

Ruptured cruciate ligament. Out for 6 to 9 months. Last we see of Vydra.

He wasn't walking around the pitch with JBG yesterday like a bloke with a ruptured cruciate ligament

I don't know the facts as whether or not it is true but would he be sat in the stand with Jay if he'd ruptured his knee?

Posted: **Sun May 08, 2022 11:09 pm**

Would be very bad timing for him to get a bad injury with his contract situation.

Posted: **Sun May 08, 2022 11:11 pm**

It is sometimes possible to play with a torn cruciate, I play in a sports team with an older guy who doesn’t have any in each knee. But it is risky for people in good health as it can lead to long term problems. I seem to recall Tiger Woods won a golf major while unknowingly having a torn ACL and a double stress fracture of his tibia.

Let’s be optimistic, if Vydra’s efforts against Watford keep us up, we should revere him for those guts while having a serious injury, and best wishes to him in getting fit and for the future.

Well that obviously a big blow to us but more importantly to him as he enters his 30's.

We need to get Jay back 100% fit for the final three games.

Posted: **Sun May 08, 2022 11:19 pm**

Priority is that Jay gets fit. I think we can cope without Vydras goal and work contribution.

Posted: **Sun May 08, 2022 11:20 pm**

Not great. Think we need to look at Cornet up top now. It’s not ideal, but we need somebody up there with a bit more dynamism. Weghorst and Barnes yesterday was painful.

yeah sad for Vyds tbh

Posted: **Sun May 08, 2022 11:28 pm**

On a slightly sinister note I hope he stays with us now because I've always rated him

Posted: **Sun May 08, 2022 11:40 pm**

Awful injury. I posted on the other thread about my ACL and it is a truly awful injury to get. Will this affect his contract situation with us? I know his contract runs out but would love him to re-sign

Posted: **Sun May 08, 2022 11:44 pm**

First, gutted for him and us as he was looking like someone who could change things when it wasn't going well in the remaining games

Second, we can't afford to keep players on injuries that put them out for six months when they are out of contract

So that will be the last time we see him in a Burnley shirt and I wish him look for the future

But the injuries really are happening at the wrong time

Posted: **Mon May 09, 2022 6:46 am**

Gutted for us and Vydra. Always thought he offers a lot to our side when given a run and recently he proved that. 2 assist and 1 goal in his past few appearances, all decisive contributions in the respective matches too.

Posted: **Mon May 09, 2022 7:17 am**

That's a shocker of an injury whenever you get it, even more so when you're out of contract. It's a shame, because we always looked better with him in the team.

Posted: **Mon May 09, 2022 8:06 am**

Bugger.

Posted: **Mon May 09, 2022 8:19 am**

It’s sad for him personally and I wouldn’t want to be in his position but this is what can happen not signing a new contract (assuming we’ve offered one) and waiting for a bumper pay deal on a bosman.

Put in our terms would you leave a job without another job to go to?

Posted: **Mon May 09, 2022 8:25 am**

Gutted. I have always thought we looked a better side with him up front. Although, as others have said, seems strange to see him at the game, walking unaided, with such an injury.

Not sure if we’ve offered him a new contract but hope we do the right thing now & offer him one and obviously sorting his rehabilitation either way.

Posted: **Mon May 09, 2022 8:26 am**

Apologies - looks like I was wrong on the other thread. He really didn’t look like he had an ACL injury (I’ve had one - I couldn’t walk!)

I hope he recovers quick and I also hope he stays with us too

Posted: **Mon May 09, 2022 10:23 am**

No room for sentiment for me, especially facing the financial situation we could be looking at.

We can't afford to be offering a player a 2 year deal, knowing he's going to be injured for the best part of half of it, whatever league we end up playing in.

Even more so if we're in the Championship if the debt repayment figures are to be believed.

By all means give hime the best medical care, re hab etc but I'm afaid his contract gamble may have backfired.

I like Vyds, and would have liked him to stay as he offers something different, but sadly this changes all that for me.

It goes without saying of course, I wish him a full and speedy recovery.

What if the deal is a vastly reduced one with increases linked to appearances?, especially if we go down.
