I would certainly hope he would be. That’s a full 88 days (12 and a half weeks) after the injury. I think he was out for 10 weeks last time with the same injury wasn’t he?

I suspect our world class medical department will have a handle on that.
There was a time not so very long ago, when the City medical team comprised half a dozen graduates from the Dr Nick Riviera School of Medicine, when such a statement would have constituted the purest sarcasm. Another indication of how professional we’ve become that I think we all now have complete faith in our Doctors, physios and other specialists

When he came back from the injury 2(?) seasons ago it was spring I think but can anyone remember his form in the first couple of games? I seem to remember he took a while to play himself into too form but I’m hoping that might not be the case.
yeah, he's back training on his own. Not with the group yet.My mate texted me saying he seen kev driving into the ground yesterday.

I wonder what Kev even squats normally....he's not big but footballers do have disproportionately strong legs and core.
He's bulked up no end, from when he joined us. He's very hard to knock off the ball, these days.

Great news if true. Whilst we have coped well so far without him, any team would miss his drive, lung bursting runs and ability to thread the ball through an eye of a needle.
Plus the odd bramha of a goal.

I'm fairly sure he came back just as good - scored that brilliant volley against Bournemouth followed by decisive displays against PSG
I think our conditioning team target maximum strength on an individual basis, probably something to do with body mass and muscle. Definitely has been applied to Jesus, he’s looking stronger and he’s bulked up, more of a man now than the teenager that arrived a couple of years ago.He's bulked up no end, from when he joined us.

Saw that last night, I’d be surprised if it was mid-Nov before we see him on the pitch, I’d guess he won’t make the dippers game but maybe be back for after the next international break mid-Oct.

Sounds good. If he’s back pre break, Martinez will call him up immediately.
Not too worried about having him back for pool, I’m fine with Bern and Dave starting that. Let Kev come back when he’s fully fit, it’s a long season.
Totally agree, the likes of Milner and Keita kicking lumps out of him is probably not what he would need so close to a return from a bad injury. Can see now Klopp and those scummy dipper fans celebrating as he's stretchered off after they kick him to pieces.Sounds good. If he’s back pre break, Martinez will call him up immediately.

no need to rush him back and gamble on KDB, being match fit is another matter and it takes 2 to 3 games to pick up the pace and your at your worse for picking up another injury, so just feel him back into the first team slowly from the bench

saw him on tunnel cam at the fulham game. He has lost the knee brace but is still walking with a noticeable limp. Our medical staff will not take chances with him.
