Knee not knacked

According to reports, Massadio Haidara's knee has thankfully survived Sunday's assault relatively unscathed, with no ligament or bone damage, and only severe bruising.  Although the Mirror do claim that his knee cap did effectively pop out and then back in as a result of the collision.

The upshot of which is that the player could be back playing in a matter of days/weeks.

The quotes reported in the Guardian come from their translation of an interview Haidara gave to Le Parisien, which can be read in French here. 

Whilst my French is decidedly rusty, from what I can see he's understandably keen not to rush back and will inevitably be wary when he gets back on a pitch, but should be alright in the long run, which is excellent news.
