Looks like a routine bang on the knee and potentially he could have played on but wasn’t risked.And yes I’m looking at it from the most optimistic standpoint.
I was thinking yesterday Kamara and Palhinha are the complete antithesis. Bouba is brilliant as a defensive player, by effortlessly dispossessing players and great positioning. Palhinha only gets by on referee leniency, because he always over commits in tackles and tries to take man and ball (and sometimes not the latter).
I thought it was more of an impact injury. There didn't appear to be any twist of the knee or studs caught in the turf. So, hopefully not too serious....
Maybe if the ref had given a card they’d have been less likely to dish out further heavy tackles.
I watched this tackle over and over again this morning. Firstly I’ve no idea how it wasn’t a booking which maybe would’ve stopped the later shithousing. Second it just looked so innocuous that makes me fear it’s something bad inside the knee ligament. Those with better sports science knowledge than me may offer more insight.
