So we know it’s gonna be multiple months, but Slot has also said he could still feature at some point this season.
We don’t have to know the exact date today, they don’t know it themselves. It’s up to the recovery now.

Don’t expect him back this season. If all goes well, he should be 100% ready to start preseason full-on.
Though Slot has said he will be.
It’s quite common in English as well. Possibly even worse in German, as “ein paar” is also a pair which is always 2 in English.

Didn’t Slot just add unnecessary word/s and should just have said ‘months’ just ruling out years.
Or just referring to when he expects Isak back doing some form of serious training rather than ‘rehab’?
The bones generally take 6 to 8 weeks to heal, but he would have to get back into training after that. We do have fairly state of the art training facilities, so he is likely to be able to work on it as it heals, hydrotherapy or whatever.

If the sky isn’t falling in and Arne isn’t a cunt for breathing then people aren’t happy. No wonder so many left or are leaving.

What do you guys and gals think of Franck’s comments on the Isak’s leg break?
On a positive note, even a leg break is horrific, it is said that break is not as bad as anticipated. Isak will be back by march maybe.

Unfortunately Isak plants his foot so it makes it look worse than it is, but that is a natural action for a defender.
It’s Isak’s fault for planting his foot. Pardon my French but Frank has proven to be a grade A cunt.

I thought the Spurs team were overly physical. That Spurs player could have said “very sorry” to Isak. Franck coukd have mentioned the sorry word as well.
Isak’s career could have ended there and then.
Thanks for this @GermanRed . That is very noble of Van der Ven to do this. He is redeemed in my book.
I hope Isak is psychologically ok. The road to recovery for a footballer can be a lonely one some time.

Is that another term for psychotically violent? There were several occasions where Spurs players went in with the only intent being to cause injury.

Frank seemed to think his players were just playing defensive football. He was a nice guy at Brentford. At Spurs seems to metamorphised into an ‘ego-maniac’.

He fucking scissored Isak’s leg the cunt.
That’s not an apology!

For me what he says about Isak’s foot makes it worst. It’s not true. A real apology doesn’t include false excuses.

Perhaps at Brentford the players refused to go down that road.

You have a point there Flobs. I expected abit more from Frank as well.
One fleeting moment, a long while ago, I thought Frank would be a candidate for Liverpool manager’s job

The thing with blocking, quite an important thing, is the getting in the way of the ball between the player kicking it and it’s direction of travel. People keep taking about the challenge as an attempted block, using that to justify the manner of it. The ball was gone before he got to the player. It was a very late tackle, it was never going to be a block, it was far, far too late for a block.

Noway was it an attempt to block the ball. It’s absolutely useless to try and block the ball by taking out the players supporting leg. That’s like farting and saying ‘sorry I wanted to burp’
