On the basis that is what we did before then yes I would do it differently this time, I'd treat him like a squad player initially not as someone we desperately need to get fit.
You think we just chucked him in last time? You might need to revisit that, there were games behind closed doors, weeks in training, and a sub appearance, followed by him playing for as little or long as he felt comfortable, and having license to literally just walk off the pitch rather than get injured.
