Relieved.

Bruce has to take some blame. He was in too much of a rush to play the Kerry Hurling manager's son. It's good to hear the injury is not as bad as first thought.

He wrenched his knee - it could happen to any player at any time. His ligaments are fine.

That is the best news I've heard in ages!!! So relieved, sitting here in work with a big grin on my face after hearing that.

Hopefully that will be a warning to Bruce to treat him with a bit more care than he did over the Christmas.

The young man obviously wants to play and play but it is up to the medical staff and Bruce himself to protect him a bit more. I'm dying to see him pull on the green jersey but would take waiting until the summer if it means he is 100%.

Best news I've had this week! Was thinking last night we wouldn't see him playing again until the start of next season.

That's great - I figured if the ligament had gone of its own accord it did not look good for him.

I can still dream of reading a match report that someday references the Ireland central midfield of Meyler and McCarthy.

Meyler will be a great addition when fit.

I agree. The sooner the better.

PS. Would like to see Marc Wilson get a chance there too.

Delighted for him that its not as bad as first thought. He is highly thought of at Sunderland.

Delighted! I feared the guy's career was in the balance tbh.

'Manager Steve Bruce has revealed that the signs are that the ligaments are intact'

Steve Buce doing his Al Pacino impression.

"This boy's ligaments are intact. They're non-negotiable."

Super news, I had visions of Colin Healy when it was thought it was gonna be another long term injury

Thankfully there was no tackles involved like that of Youssef Safri.

Great news, all the best with the recovery. The extra time off may be no harm for the cruciate and any return should be gradual and progressive.
07/01/2011, 7:23 PM
legendz

How's the extra time any good if he has an injury again? He needs to be playing, though gradually introduced. It's a pity Catt's has been out. Bruce didn't have much of an option.
07/01/2011, 7:26 PM

In that his training programme for the next few weeks can be concentrated in building strength back in the knee. Im no expert but perhaps he was rushed back without sufficent training in building back up his knee after the initial injury. The lad is young and clearly talented, plenty of time to get long run of games in once he is 100% fit.

10 week lay off confirmed. Could be worse but won't make Macedonia late March.

David Meyler will be out for around 10 weeks, Sunderland manager Steve Bruce has confirmed.
It was initially feared Meyler had ruptured the cruciate ligaments in his right knee against Aston Villa, but scans have revealed no tear.
Meyler, 21, has only recently recovered from a cruciate knee injury sustained against Manchester United back in May.
He saw a surgeon earlier today who confirmed the diagnosis.
Bruce said: "The specialist has confirmed that David has stretched his knee ligament but fortunately there's no rupture, which is wonderful news for us and of course for the boy.

"He'll be in a leg brace for 6 weeks and we anticipate he'll be on the sidelines for around 10 weeks in total, which is nowhere as bad as we initially feared, thanks goodness."

Is there a cap on the number of loans a club can have? Heard a rumour Sunderland are looking at bringing in a midfielder on loan but I thought with 3 loans already they cannot bring in any more.
08/01/2011, 12:30 PM
tetsujin1979

AFAIK it is 3, but if any of the loans are due to expire or the player is recalled by their parent club (possibly Wellbeck) then they can bring in someone else to replace him

I think Bruce is looking to sign El-Mohamidy permanently.

Forgot about him, that's 4 players they have on loan: Mensah, Onuoha, Elmohamady and Welbeck.

Lads, Been away and really appreciate the updates on Meyler. Great news considering the initial prognosis. Hopefully he doesn't play until late in the season.

I would be more happy with the pre-season.

Fly, I feel you're being a bit pedantic as our sentiments are the same. From Bruce's comments I feel he will only play when ever he has passed every medical test available which is reassuring to know.

Read this morning that sunderland are in for muntari.can't be good for meyler even if cattermole might be more suspect

Muntari will hardly go there though, surely he's better than Sunderland?

No games at Inter and it's still an upgrade from Portsmouth. Think his style would suit Bruce and the team too.

From today's BBC Gossip
Sunderland midfielder Lee Cattermole is set to miss the rest of the season with a broken bone in his back. (the Sun)

Hope this doesn't mean Meyler is rushed back again.

Is one of the 200 you follow or one of the 20 odd you follow regularily ;-)

Youthful enthusiasm, love it! just hope he is fully rehabilitated. We need these promising players like himself to start fulfulling themselves and edging out the mediocre players in our squad. God knows we could do with a battler that can play a bit of ball too.

I cannot wait to see him play for us. From the glimpses I've saw of him in action so far he could be a key player for us these next few years if he can stay fit and healthy.

My thoughts exactly. I've been looking forward to seeing Meyler in a green shirt more so than Coleman & Clark.

Emphasis on fitness. I really hope he can get these injuries behind him and get back to the level he was at in the later part of last season when he looked well capable of adding the kind of engine and aggression we need in midfield. Trap would surely fancy him. A five year contract and the speed at which he was thrown back into action last time would indicate Sunderland rate him fairly highly too.

Take it you didn't go for a roll in the hay with Stuttgart then?
Look I'll give you a sympathy thanks too. Leave me alone.
