Just seen Ekdal injury on sky sports news, looks like his leg is stuck in the ground and the force of the forest player goes right on his right knee area but his leg foot doesn’t move, looks a nasty one

[DCWat]

Fingers crossed that it proves not to be as serious as feared. Either way, a real shame for Ekdal and a problem created in terms of recruiting, so near to the end of the window.

Here’s to a speedy recovery and hopefully some positive news on the injury.

[mybloodisclaret]

Absolutely devastated for him. Hoping it isn't too bad. I am recovering from a my second bad knee injury, and whilst I am nowhere near an elite athlete they are horrible. Hope he gets back fit asap, and it doesn't ruin his season.

[BB4Claret]

Such a shame for the lad. He was having a great game before this incident. I hope it’s not as serious as feared and can only wish him a speedy recovery.

[Taffy on the wing]

He was probably the player i was most looking forward to watching this season......BUMMER!

[Quicknick]

So disappointed for him and the team.

[ArmchairDetective]

Kompany just confirmed in the press conference this aft that there was more worry about Ekdal at first, but he's on a typical rehab pathway like the other players. Didn't give a time scale but good to hear it's not as bad as first feared.

Did they mention if he's had a scan or just treating him like that until they know otherwise after a scan?

[123EasyasBFC]

Beyer will be mid October I reckon before he’s fit

[ArmchairDetective]

Can't recall if they mentioned a scan. But they did say they were still waiting to hear about the outcome for Vitinho, which maybe indicates that both Ekdal and Ramsey have been checked out? Can't imagine he would have said they're relieved Ekdal's on a typical recovery pathway if the necessary tests hadn't been done...

Kompany reckons after international break, which is soon

[Claret Toni]

Mid October is after the international break

[Kevwando]

No mention of a scan

[Nori1958]

Mid October is after the international break

So is Christmas

No injury is good news but that's better news today on Ekdal than feared last night

[Silkyskills1]

He was having a very good game but that's because he is a very good player. The longer he lay on the ground motionless( as it seemed from the other end) the more worried I became. Good luck to him in his recovery and again sincerely hoping it's not as bad as first feared.

[LordBob]

Interesting what VK had to say about the Dalek injury 'the good thing he feels pain because when everything is torn off the bone you don't feel anything' well one way of looking at it.

[Tricky Trevor]

Saw what 123easy saw in his post above. Looked like a hyper-extension to me. Painful but shouldn’t be too long.

[FCBurnley]

Avoided serious injury is great news

[BB4Claret]

Totally agree. It was a very somber feeling, trying to look the whole length of the pitch to see what was going on. At first, the guys around us weren’t sure if it was Ekdal or Al-Dakhil who’d gone down.

You’ve inadvertently giving him the new nickname of The Dalek, perfect anagram
On his return he will exterminate opposition centre forwards

[NewClaret]

Posted on Insta about being in the next round last night. Hopefully a good sign. Great player.

[Quickenthetempo]

Seen a stat yesterday that he's yet to be on the losing side with us in his 10 games played.

Let's hope he heals well and comes back fit.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Hope it’s not too bad. Hes one I’d be interested to see in a back three with any two of the three at either side of him.

He’s our best option in the air too and a real threat from set pieces .
