ETH has said he’s still about 2 months away from a return to first team football.

That's a long long lay off. Has the injury been confirmed?

 

[SuperRash]

Wasn’t it knee surgery? And then it has taken longer than expected to heal, so maybe some complications.

Think it’s the same injury as before suffered a setback in his rehab just before joining in team training in January.

Been out of the game for almost 18 months, poor lad.

Won't be long now ....

Think he's on course to be back mid october.

Looks like he has full mobility back in that vid.

He has been named in the europa league and premier league squads.

Latest from ETH

Ten Hag said: “Of course, we want to motivate him to return, but it’s not so easy when you are so long away. Over a season now from an injury to return, but he’s working very hard, he’s progressing really well in this moment.


“He’s making big steps, so we think, at short notice, we can expect him in the team training, and he is a talent, it’s natural. I expect also, soon, he can return into games then.”

 

[Dickens Cider]

I think Ten hag might find it difficult to motivate Akabusi.

Back in team training not sure if he did the full session but would suggest his return is quite close.

He looks like he’s packed on some muscle while out injured.
