Good news for him as yesterday it sounded like he might be out for a year. Now it sounds like he could target a return in time for the end of the season and the Euro's.
I rate Gomez as much as anyone but I hope he isn't rushed back for the Euro's. England's record of picking half fit players for major tournaments isn't inspiring.
Don’t ask me why, but I have a feeling we will see him back with us sometime down the line.
Is it because of his injury record?
Well that does come into it of course. It’s just that I would like to think a few years down the line we will be in a position to get even better players on board. Joe has retained his interest in us from afar and because of his injuries he’s likely to not last at the top table for as long as he might have. Only a thought on my part but quite possible when you think about it......let’s hope he continues well with his treatment and gets back to a good level of ability and fitness.
Unbelievable bad luck Joe has had with his career due to injuries. Even with one premier league medal and a champions league medal he’s missed so much football. Going to be the third tournament he’s missed due to injury.
I had a punt on him to make the England squad back in 2016.
He’s actually lucky he is at a top club with all the facilities and access to the best specialists. Even then, he may never be the same player. Far too early to tell.
Can only wish him all the luck in the world. It’s very likely it could have been a career ending injury.
I was trying to work out the source of the other scars as his ACL was the other (right) leg. Can only think back to when he was misdiagnosed by Liverpool for "conservative treatment" of a leg fracture which did then require surgery 8 weeks or so later.
I first saw Joe play as a 15 year old ( heads up from Pigott senior) that we had a star in the making in our academy in a game at Sparrows lane. Also my lad and I were in the Costa del Sol, 7 years ago when big Bob Peeters first took over and watched Joe Gomez glide over the pitch; held in the golf complex in the Mijas hills.
We trust that surgery has advanced enough to give Joe a chance to regain and continue his career at the highest level. He has been robbed of taking part in tournaments and I want to see this cool character and nice guy continue his upwardly mobile career.
Good luck Joe and thanks for the memory from Cafc and more memories from England in the future.

Betting on (not that) Rhys Williams or Nathaniel Phillips making the England squad for the Euros?
