Levi Colwill has been recovering from his knee injury for eight months now, and Sky Sports did a little feature following him around a day of training at Cobham.

It’s a nice reminder, more than anything, of how dull being an injured football would be.

Starting with massages and physio, going through the gym session with lots of plyometrics, then out onto the training pitch for some very basic drills, barely touching the ball.

No wonder Levi can’t wait to be fully integrated back into first team training. He says that now most days are “good days” where he’s happy – but earlier in the process it was one good day to every six bad days.
