Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s surgeon, Dr. Freddie Fu, has issued a warning
over the striker’s return to action for Manchester United, insisting the
Swede must only return when he is fully fit.
Ibrahimovic tore his anterior crutiate ligament against Anderlecht in
April, after netting 28 goals for the Red Devils in his debut season.
After being initially released by by the club following the
expiration of his contract, the 35-year-old has penned a new one-year
deal and is stepping up his comeback.
Amid rumours that he could make his return to training by the end of
October, Fu believes his former patient needs as much time as possible.
“I have no worry about his injury as it always takes time to fully recover,” he told the South China Morning Post .
“In fact the EPL has just started and I am sure Manchester United
would not need the player urgently for any crucial game either in the
league or European competitions.
“He is very strong but soccer is still a combative sport. As a
doctor, of course I want to see him return as slow as possible, only
when he is fully fit for the game. There have been many cases of a
player returning prematurely with bad consequences.”
