Personally think we should give him longer break. No need to rush whatsoever. Even if hes ready. Keep training keep recovering get right physically and mentally for pre season

That Arsenal game seems like a lifetime ago, will be interesting to see if he actually gets on the pitch in the next few weeks.

Absolutely beautiful to see. Godri.

I know it’s too early but how amazing would it be to see him on Friday!

Incredible effort to be back training. Need to ensure he isn't rushed back into things, but excellent news.

He had his operation on the 27th of September so he’s been recuperating for just over 7 months. By contrast Dan Sheehan, who plays rugby for Ireland, tore his ACL in early July 2024 made his come back in January 2025. Different sports, greater mobility and turning required in football but more load bearing in rugby, especially as a hooker in a scrum.

Hopefully we’ll see him back soon, great to see him train but he doesn’t appear to be in full training (yet).

Just as we enter into May which is what I said 4 months ago when claims were being made about him being back in full training with a view to playing by march. There's always a minimum time frame on these injuries. No need to push it, give him a light cautious reintroduction and maybe he gets some minutes at the cwc.

At most, he perhaps gets 2 minutes in the bournemouth game with instructions not to do anything just so he can get some much deserved fan appreciation.

Wrap him in cotton wool ready for the FA Cup final and the CWC. Be great to have him and Big Erl back.

Agreed. I wouldn't play him before next season. Unless maybe a couple of 15 minute cameos at this nonsense in the summer.

best signing we could make

Maybe he wants to be back playing ?

I'm glad to see him back but ACLs are no joke. It's often a 2 year injury in terms of getting full range of motion and speed back - and some people never return to full athletic peak. I can't imagine another 3 months at least wouldnt do him some good to get ready for next year

It's a 2-year injury for a normal person, Rodri could pretty much join the Avengers at this point.

I agree . Next season and not before .

Elite athletes have rehab us mere mortals can only dream of.
