CVByrne Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 It's a bonus to us that for next season we get Buendia and Mings added to the squad. We just lose Lenglet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
est1874 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Can any injury experts offer a view on his return? He has been jogging on his knee for several weeks now, I would have thought light training should happen in the near future? Be surprised if he's not back in full training before end of season, but then, I'm not the expert. I know we will be careful with him given the nature of the injury, but again he's been running for a while now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he could somehow make a return for the final stretch of the season it would be a welcome boost! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 If he's light jogging and importantly feeling no issues then i'd imagine the next phase will kick in rather soon. I was hoping if all goes well he might be back on the bench for the last few weeks of the season. Possibly a big ask but it would be amazing to see him get some minutes and help Villa for the last few games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be starting to apply load to his knee now so running/ impact through the joint. The next faze and most important will be twisting / pivoting on it. I think he’s started that judging by the VR headset activity he was doing. With that injury specifically it 60% building confidence and 40% building muscle in the quad to support the knee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With rehab after ACL surgery, my cautious approach would be jogging at 12 weeks and back to training with the squad at 6 months. Then back to play between 6 and 9 months Edited January 14 by Deano & Dalian's Umbrella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have been a huge part of what we're doing now, I have no doubt. He'll be fresh and he has an unbelievable work ethic, he is going to be very important in our run in if we are going to taste success. I can't wait to see him back in the squad!! He offers that final third industry, that we are lacking.....his movement is missing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Callum Posted January 17 Popular Post Share Posted January 17 Honestly and truly believe he will come back an absolute BEAST. His attitude during injury, the hunger, support and work he's putting in speaks volumes for type of person and player he is. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HanoiVillan Posted January 17 Popular Post Share Posted January 17 The season has obviously ended up being really good, probably better than most of us could have dared hope, but if it hadn't turned out that way Emi's injury would have been seen as a massive sliding doors moment IMO. He honestly looked so so sharp and fit in pre-season, just got to hope he can get back close to the levels he was at then. Can't wait to get him back tbh. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Love him and can’t wait for him to return… has fully integrated into the club too… has no lack of dedication and passion to go with his talent. Likeable guy. Pleasing to hear that Unai checks in on him regularly… hopefully he’s back soon and can play his part… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emi may be back sooner than expected, maybe within the next month or so… I remember seeing February mooted some time back and that he was ahead of schedule in his recovery… March/April may be more realistic… Harder to tell with Ty (more severe injury) but he is also working on rehab but not for as long as Emi has been… maybe we get to see him before the end of the season… good to see him free of crutches and sharing some footage online… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
