This injury is not primarily caused by fatigue, simply a result of having one’s foot planted and suddenly hit by force. Often occurs when changing direction rapidly or landing from a jump.
As long as football is to be played, ACLs will tear. It’s actually easier to pop your knee because of a lack of fitness or over applying yourself when you lack the physical requirements, fitness, strength, build.
My advice to Gavi, take it easy. I respect his passion/aggression. But he is in such a small frame, he can’t physically apply himself all year at such intensity. He little muscles will implode. His joints will disintegrate.
I’ve done my ACL twice.

He’s fucking 19.
He still has PLENTY of time to grow both physically and mentally.
But still he’s our best midfielder alongside FdJ
