Great news if he is getting better. The next step however is the hardest.
Getting his confidence back...
I broke my ankle in two places a couple of seasons ago (Saturday after I flew back from Paris 06 - what a fuckbag of a week that was for me

). I was on the receiving end of a horendous studs up special from a total crunt. The only thing that stopped me getting the full Diaby style ankle dislocation was the fact that my calf muscle tore instead of my broken ankle dislocating (according to my consultant I was lucky, the mad bastard!

).
Anyway, 4 months in an immobilisation cast, then intense physio to actually get the ankle moving again (including the horrors of ice immersion therapy to reduce swelling (NOT oo-er missus

). I did three sessions a day, three days a week for a month and it nearly killed me. Hardest thing I ever did. Then I had to try and get fit again and lose the two stone I put on.
Over 6 months out in total.
But the hardest part was the first couple of games back. My confidence was zero. Fucking stayed well away from anything even remotely resembling a 50/50...
Getting your confidence back after a bad injury is really tough. It's a real test of character. I hope he can do it and the fans give him the time he might need.
