Townsend set for long road to recovery
Andros Townsend is set for a long path to full recovery after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee at Crystal Palace back in March. Wednesday, 8 June, 2022Townsend had successful surgery soon after the injury but his father, Troy, doesn't expect him to be fully fit before the end of 2022.
“It's now in the process of recuperation, so he doesn't get much time off and I don't think he'd want it.
“He needs to get back and make the knee stronger and see where the season will take him, but it definitely won't be the first half [of next season], I will imagine.
“He's always said that he's never been a good patient and that he wants to get back out onto the field of play.”

£1.7M for both was an absolute steal.

I suspect the frantic 15 minutes will be par for the course for a lot of teams this year. The 5 subs will allow teams to take off those who run themselves into the ground. If we can't find a way to play football round the press, we need to recruit some absolute units who can run to the last.

Townsend was necessary support for the season, but now he looks as if it will be after Xmas before he comes back. No wonder it is reported that Frank is looking for three midfielders.
