Original Title: Oscar Bobb on his injury: 'I heard it break.’ ‘Just a slip, two or three days before we played Chelsea to open the season. Broke my fibula, tore a ligament in my ankle and some cartilage. It was a nasty injury.’
‘I heard it break,’ he recalls. ‘Just a slip, two or three days before we played Chelsea to open the season. Broke my fibula, tore a ligament in my ankle and some cartilage. It was a nasty injury.’
Wings clipped, the timing seemed cruel, but Bobb has a different take on it. ‘Everybody says bad timing,’ he says, 'and I see that point, but had it happened two or three years before, I probably never would have got the chance in the first team.
‘The fact I got in and then got injured is probably better. I know a lot of academy players who struggle with injuries and never got the chance, so I didn’t really look at it that way.’
Even so, the recovery process tested his patience. ‘I hadn’t been walking right, so I got a stress response in my foot,’ he says. 'It ended up being eight months when the expectation was five and the toughest part was the last two months.
‘It did drag on a bit and then the biggest thing was my sharpness, that was so hard to get back but now I’m fully fit. I feel great.’
