Manu #2
Manu was at a Oxfordshire youth team the other day promoting Freddys academy.
He was asked many questions, but one was how is his injury. He said " Its been awful not playing, really frustrating, but watch this space, I could be playing again by the end of the month"
What do we all make of that?
Wishful thinking or will he be back for the play-offs ???

Re: Manu #2
I would ignore it. It's an off the cuff remark with no detail.
Re: Manu #2
Sadly, I agree. Like all of us I am chomping at the bit to see him back, but it needs to be when he is truly ready, and I suspect there may be some wishful thinking in Manu's comments.
It will be great to see him back, but I'm not going to count any chickens!!

Re: Manu #2
I have a feeling that Manu is over-keen and over-optimistic. He's probably having to be reined in by the coaches and medics.
For his own good.
Even if he feels totally fit for the end of the season, I wouldn't want him coming back until the medics are 100% certain he'll not break again. Better to have him fully fit next season than have another 3-match comeback and then break.

The next time Manu plays he will be wearing an England kit.

Re: Manu #2
I'm not so sure.
I understand that he is chomping at the bit but he has previously said that this time he would not come back until he was 100% certain he was fully fit. On that basis I doubt he would have said what he did without some indications from the medics on timescales.
Could be my wishful thinking of course

Life can be unpredictable, so eat your pudding first!
Re: Manu #2
What he would like to be doing and what the rehab team allow may not match!
Re: Manu #2
We watched a full training session earlier this week & Manu was one of the players that went no where near the training field (along with some others). Just working out in gym.
Looks very fit & no obvious issues walking around.....but nothing more
