Many athletes fear a torn ACL more than any other injury. It’s not as visibly painful, or as gruesome, as a broken bone, but it’s much more menacing. Not so long ago, it was more often than not the end of a career; even now, many who suffer from a torn ACL find they’re never quite the same. Our chief soccer correspondent @rorysmithnyt spent the last 10 months with the @マンチェスター・シティFC midfielder @イルカイ・ギュンドアン, who was recovering from a torn ACL in his right knee. It was painful, repetitive, exhausting, @rorysmithnyt writes. But it wasn’t the physical demands that were most punishing for @イルカイ・ギュンドアン; it was the mental strain, the sense of being apart, adrift, incomplete, surrounded by those constant reminders of what he used to be, and where he wanted to be. “That is the most difficult thing: to feel that you are useless, not worth as much as before, not worth as much as the others,” @イルカイ・ギュンドアン said. @kierandodds took this photo of #IlkayGundogan sitting in a spa pool at @マンチェスター・シティFC’s Etihad Stadium in March, when he was in the early stages of a 10-month rehabilitation.
