He won't be properly fit until start of 2025/26.

 

 

 

 

Agree, although I'd expect him back involved sometime between Jan-Mar 2025 based on the return times of others who have done it. Same for Lascelles as he did his two weeks later.

Good to see him recovering well.

He's lost a yard or two.

Do a same sort of run to the bathroom when the turtles head appears.

Hoping he doesn’t rush back. Take as long as it takes.

[Joelinton7]

Taking very ginger steps. A fully fit Botman with Diomande is my dream. 

[Shadow Puppets]

He's doing well, yes, but October would be highly optimistic.

[STM]

I'll repeat what I said last time, people kept saying he'd be back in the new year, which I said was bollocks.

 

He will back alot sooner.

It’s called A Cat Dies by the Dying Cats.

Just wait for the inevitable set back

He's kicking a ball on his instagram story today.

 

Good news that.

Not bad for someone who "100% won't be back until new year" (according to some). 

[Ikon]

Not sure about his return date, but kicking a ball doesn’t say too much imo. What takes a long time is to get the knee the stability and strength that it needs so that you can rely on it being strong enough under heavy load as well as well as being able to handle awkward/accidental twists and turns without a setback. That proper stability and reliability is what takes such a long time to get back. Every progress is positive though, even if minor steps alone. 

[Dokko]

Tak of Oct return. Be good thst. 

[Shadow Puppets]

They’re aiming for a late October return to full training… mid-November to competitive football is the plan as things stand.

Not sure what that tweet is getting at? It still will be within that time frame at least. Back on training ground, but still be at least 2 months work on that before resuming full first team training where you ideally wouldn’t want to rush him back through that. 
 

Hope if Botman says come September I’m good to go, we tell him no. 

[Guest]

March to September tends be 6 months most of the time.

Did I imagine it but didn't Howe say in a recent interview end of the year when referring to Botman. As long as he comes back the player we signed it takes as long as it needs no mistakes this time.

So next April then... 😅

[janpawel]

Doesn't it normally take a year after they are back before ACL repaired players are at their best? 

 

Took Van Disney a full season to get back to being a world class CB. I'm sure Howe said they were taking it easy with Tino because of his injury too, which would have been over a year ago when he said that
