Breaking..Ale Faurlin out with 3rd ACL injury

[Ginger Ninja]

Christ almighty. That really is awful news. Gutted for him, one of the most talented players I've seen pull on the hoops.
Surely thats him done though? 3 ACLs in as many seasons. Not many players come back from 2.

[Nick]

Really sad news but it was only a matter of time with Ale. Hopefully he can still be involved with QPR one way or another.

[Del]

Absolutely gutted

[West Acton]

How did it happen in the match on Wednesday night?

Blocking a cross by corner flag was not even a tackle from memory

[Hove Ranger]

Gutted for the lad. The only positive is it happened now with the transfer window still open and not mid season when we couldnt replace him

[kron-1664]

can you believe its the original knee as well. Very odd and devastating for the lad.

[3London]

Gutted for him... Think we should now be looking at terminating his contract though

Whoa Harsh! talk about kicking someone when they are down!

Absolutely Devastating news..

[Leroy]

You do have two bundles in each knee ACL(Anterior Cruciate Ligment) and the PCL(Posterior Cruciate Ligament) I would say that its the ACL allmost 100% because it streches when you get at rotation of your lower leg, like if your foot gets stuck in the grass. PCL can be damaged in like car accidents while getting the dashboard smashed against your lower leg. That or a late chalange from Diakite...

[Hertford Hoop]

He must be absolutely gutted, I doubt he will ever play at this level again

Hope he copes with the bad news

[Norths]

Shocked to see the news this morning.

[WeAreQPR12]

Extremely sad news, gutted for him as you could never knock him for effort, with a footballng brain

[Hoopsmad]

Sad for Ale as he is a nice bloke. Always had time for the kids and fans.

[dogsrrs]

Gutted for him... Think we should now be looking at terminating his contract though

Can you honestly see TF doing that ?

[QPR_NW10]

As said previous, not half the player since his first one but still twice the player we've had in hoops over the past few seasons

Let's look forwards and the inevitable debate of his retirement/contract termination:

In my opinion: get him through his coaching badges as soon as possible and keep him with the club. He clearly enjoys it here. He's got a natural ability to read the game, what makes him stand out on the pitch. He's got knowledge of techniques and will be a coach/trainer one day so let's support him through it.

[West Acton]

Done it twice in pointless game League and FA Cup
