Theo Hernández, the Brazilian forward who joined AC Milan from Inter Milan in January, has been out since February with a knee injury.
Hernández, 28, was injured during training at San Siro on February 14 and underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee. He was initially expected to be out for six weeks but it now looks like he will miss more than that.
Injured players can take different paths to recovery depending on their injuries and how they respond to treatment. In Hernández's case, it seems that he is following a conservative rehabilitation program designed by his team doctor.
Hernández's return date remains uncertain,Serie A Stadium but he is likely to make a full recovery if he follows this plan carefully and continues to work hard in rehab. The key is consistency and discipline, as Hernández knows all too well from his previous experiences with injuries.
While there is no doubt that Hernández is a valuable addition to AC Milan's squad, the club needs him back on the pitch as soon as possible. His absence has already caused some disruption to the team's plans, so any setbacks could lead to further issues.
Despite the setback, AC Milan fans should remain optimistic about Hernández's recovery and continue to support him throughout his journey back to fitness.
