Kolarov Out 3 months?

[Blue Blood]

Sorry i don't believe this.

Surely it would have been mentioned in todays presser if it were true.

According to Marcotti:

Hope that's not true.

....can you not read

It says...."Ive been HEARING that Kolarov COULD be out for three months"

all of a sudden it's a fact....albeit suffixed with a question mark

I said " I hope it's not true." So, I'm hoping the thing that he has heard, isn't true. Seems to me like I read it just fine.

I think maybe you did....apologies...I'm just enjoying shouting and ranting a lot today

Serbian media has reported that he will be out for 2-3 weeks, but additional tests need to be taken. So either tests revealed further damage, or this report is made up.

2-3 weeks sounds about right. can't believe he'd be out for 3 months.

i am no doctor or physio, but if it were a bigger problem than a twist, i doubt he would have sat, foot in ice bucket, on the touchline on saturday. just saying.

and he wasn't crying either. brave boy.

2-3 weeks i guess. 3 months and sky would have flags out, mocking the futility of buying him.

Well done Mancini.. in bringing in another set piece specialist (Balotelli) and keeping cover for Kolly. Thats how you manage!

FFS this can only happen at City. Even if it is "only" for 2-3 weeks it's fucking shit!

New Manchester City defender Aleksandar Kolarov is out for at least two weeks after damaging ankle ligaments against Tottenham.

There are fears he could be out for longer, and with Wayne Bridge still out with toe injury, the Blues will draft in either Pablo Zabaleta or Joleon Lescott for Thursday night’s Europa League tie at Timisoara.

Jerome Boateng was also absent from the travelling party but is expected to come into contention for Monday's Premier League game against Liverpool.

Meanwhile, Shay Given was on the plane to Romania this morning despite boss Roberto Mancini saying the goalkeeper would be allowed to leave the club if he wished

2 weeks eh, fingers crossed that is all.

Two weeks is bad enough. Arse.

I thought he looked pretty good in his debut prem game. He got caught out on the odd occasion but recovered really well.

I had low expectations for him but was pleasantly suprised.

He did better against Lennon than he got credit for - and given his attack minded game he will always be 'out of position' a number of times when we lose the ball - which the central defenders/defensive midfielders expect and which they have been coached to cover for.

Hopefully Barry will come in handy covering for him when he bombs forward.
