3 - Gerard Pique

[BerkeleyBernie]

I think it'll be 3 or 4 months.

Yep, at least. A bit more to return to match fitness.

 

[JohnN]

This season keeps getting better and better.
Corona has destroyed us, because we had on of the oldest squads and playing every 3 days was bound to have a bad impact.

We destroyed ourselves. Corona only made it worse. Barto, Shitverde and the seniors have disgraced this club.

Stay strong, Geri, we're with you.

Pretty good explanation here about his injury.

True. We were badly prepared and this happens. Of course, the worst possible thing.

Is this his Barca career? Very unfortunate for a guy who has generally stayed pretty healthy.

Sadly could be. He will be 34 in a few months. I doubt he can regain full fitness until he's close to 35. Will probably play in MLS by then due to the US connection he has (Shakira is still huge in Miami).

 

[Messigician]

Getting puyol vibes from this.

He'll stay for a while but he's DONE as a world class defender and arguably has been before the k knee injury too unlike Puyol

❗Gerard Piqu? has decided not to undergo surgery, and has preferred to undergo conservative treatment instead. [cat radio]

Umtiti and Pique fuse together they can maybe get 1 functional knee

They should call Vermaelen to get some spare parts too...

 

[Messi983]

lol

I would still bet on Geri coming back stronger than Umtiti despite him being much older.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

This never worked out.. Umtiti, Dembele etc.

GL

 

[Messigician]

(🌕) JUST IN: Despite Dr Cugat's opinion, Pique prefers to follow the advice of Bar?a doctors & opt for conservative treatment instead of surgery. He hopes to play in 4 months, although he has doubts he will be able to perform at his best this season. @CatalunyaRadio #FCB 🇪🇸🚨

What could go wrong

 

[Birdy]

Stupid! He officially decided to end his career with this.
Playing for 2 months (March - May) football as a starter (if not relapsing) and then being permanently injured (3 matches healthy, 1 month out) like Umtiti.
Of course he will be sweeping the bench next season, so twice stupid!

But ignoring Cugat's advice shows what's in his brain.
Didn't expect anything better from him. He has shown his level of maturity many times in the past.

And what's wrong with that? He's almost 34 and ready to retire anyway.

He ignored one doctor's advice and followed another one's. How is that immature?
