Looked like he was holding the back of his leg just above the knee from the highlights.

He contacted the club in the summer asking for a return. Doubt rival will let us have him now!

Hamstring?

A broken Bong. This pic resembles the topic rather appropriately.

It's Just typical isn't it? We finally get a quality, permanent left back and now it looks like he is injured for a long time.

Biceps femoris / Hamstring is my guess.
Could be any amount of time out.

ACL is pretty much within the knee itself.
Bong's clutching his hamstring there - outside of the ham is the B Femoris, which is the weaker side of the hamstring.

The physio was bending it like he was trying to loosen it up. Must admit, at that point i did not think it was serious. Fingers crossed.

But that would be better than ACL, right?

Depends how bad it is.
I did a couple of ankle ligaments a few years ago and was out for 3 months.
So as a complete guess, if it is what I think it is, 2 months best case - 6 months worst.
I'm just anxious in finding out exactly what the injury is, hoping for news today.
Sounded like a slight strain, nothing more. Wondered whether there was an element of 'resting him', with Reading coming up.

strong and stable with me, or...
So difficult to tell. The whole knee joint can go into like a shock, swell up and show all the signs of a serious ruptured ligament or cartilage, but in fact settle down quite quickly in some cases without any serious damage. Some players experience a stretch of the muscles and ligaments without full tears or ruptures so that it can heal fairly quickly. Here's hoping anyway.

Some might say that it wasn't a great move to rest Stephens in the same match that Kayal was suspended, but perhaps that would be too overcritical.
