He needs a relaxing holiday and then full pre season to reboot - missing the World Cup (not that he was guaranteed to go) will be the best thing for him at the moment. Can still be a very important player in our squad.

Just goes to show how quickly things can change in football. One minute you're being touted as one of the best midfielders in the country and a candidate for a World Cup, next you suffer from an unfortunate injury, which derails your season.
Let's keep fingers crossed that a decent rest during the summer can lead to a successful pre-season and he is back to his best for next season.

Let it be fixable. The kid was a breath of fresh air and a great home grown story
What was it ..... a step onto a drinks bottle.?!?! Fucked up
That's his world cup hopes completely over then. A shame.
Could do with a loan move to another Prem team to get regular play time.
Fantastic to hear. Glad to see Winks is alright doing this sort of punditry while he's recovering from injury - was worried that the long period out and missing the World Cup could have effected him massively but he seems in okay spirits there...
If he gets fully fit I expect him to get alot of starts for us next season, the worry for me is if he can get fully fit
He needs to be fit for preseason tour. Many players due to World Cup will miss this giving him opportunities and if he does we'll then as man in possession of a starting place he will be difficult to dislodge. Same applies to Moura. New season, new start. Whilst I am not suggesting the likes of Kane will lose their place some positions are up for grabs and those not in the team now really need to take advantage.
Doesn't really say a lot. But he seems down. Poor lad.
Just get yourself ready for next year Winksy boy.
He seems devistated tbh, when he gets back fit it will be massive for us
When I started a job in Asia, I stayed in a 5 star Hotel for 8 weeks, I was board shitless after 3 weeks. Despite the luxury it was the same room, same staff, same lift, same menu (morning, noon and night), same laps in the pool, same gym etc..... It was just such a fake environment but above all I was on my tod, bored beyond belief.
I can imagine he will feel the same, maybe even worse as his rehab would be repetitive exercises.
I’m pretty sure I’ve read separate accounts by both Lamela and Rose about how isolating it is to be out injured for a length of time. Love Winks, such a shame it happened when he was making such a name for himself. Hope he recovers soon.
I know that Hotspur Way gym is designed to lookout specifically out onto the training pitches, this was seen as a real help for players in rehab, if my memory serves me correctly i think it was Dawson that made that reference. But there is still that detachment from the rest of the squad until your are ready to go outside and train with the rest of the team.
Just think it must be far worse in Qatar, on your tod, living, sleeping, eating, training in the same place for days o end.
There's just summit about him that reminds me of a young Beckham...
The accent...? Boyish good looks... dunno...
I just hope he has as big an influence on US in his career as Beckham did on Utd!!!
He sure looks good in a suit!
Get healthy Winksy- we need your good passing instincts back in our midfield!
