Zlatan's surgeon issues warning
Zlatan Ibrahimovic's surgeon 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'.
The Swede tore his anterior crutiate ligament against
Anderlecht in April after netting 28 goals for the Red
Devils, report the Manchester Evening News .
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.
Ibrahimovic has bounced back remarkably well from
the injury, putting in the hours at Carrington, and Jose
Mourinho has named him in his squad for the
Champions League group stages.
And while there has been speculation that Ibrahimovic
could return to training by the end of October, Dr.
Freddie 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.”
