Would love to see him back fit and playing at his best alongside Sokratis this season but unfortunately I fear the worst.
Koscielny was finished before the injury. Can’t see how that would change post massive injury
A finished Kos is still preferable to Mustafi for me.Koscielny was finished before the injury. Can’t see how that would change post massive injury
Has any footballer/athlete come back to their previous level after an Achilles tear? Read a lot about it being the worst sports injury or maybe that's just for basketball.
Nastasic from Schalke had an Achilles tear 2015 against Werder. He was much younger (think about 22-23) and missed around 38 games. Nowadays he is playing football completely normal, only had other injuries. - Was injured about 8 months with this injury.
Our player Bartels (31), had an Achilles tear last season against Dortmund in December. Now he is training at least with the second team already and has individual training. Still needs some weeks probably. We will see how he will come back
- So about 9 months at least.
Koscielny had his injury in May. I'm surprised, that he is already training individual on the pitch, the he will need some more months for a full recovery. Especially at this age.
Can't find a list with all players, but think many came back from this. (Think Beckham had something like this too).
Don't know how it will be at this age and he already had problems with his Achilles before his tear.
say yes luck
