    Completely torn ACL at 19. Can’t get any worse than that.

    There is zero chance of him coming back as the player he was and even if he comes back strong he’ll be fighting with it for the rest of his career.

      Wirtz is playing a great season so far and he had a similar injury at a young age. Not saying it’s possible for everyone but there’s certainly a possibility that the injury won’t affect him in the future.

        I get your point but zero means zero.

        I’m not saying he can’t recover and become a great player despite this. However a fully torn ligament will never heal 100% and will always be a liability.

        It’s a hard truth. Way too much evidence across multiple sports. Fucking sucks.
