I was walking unaided ~2 weeks after ACL surgery. Then running after 3 months, playing tennis after 6, and probably back to full pelt after 9. Generally it is risky to return until at least 7-8 months have passed. That would put him at end April/early May. Physioroom has him returning on Apr 18 - sounds optimistic to me and I would say there is no chance of any earlier.
Though Mendy will have what you might call an enhanced physio regime - oxygen treatment, underwater exercise etc. All that will speed up his recovery time. I don't doubt they gave you a physio regime but I suspect you would have recovered sooner if you'd had City's treatment facilities available to you!
