England-based Warriors right-back Tendayi Darikwa returned to training at the Nigel Doughty Academy on Monday for the first time in more than two months.
The Nottingham Forest defender has yet to feature in a game in the 2019/20 season after suffering a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) on the eve of the campaign.
An ACL is one of the most common knee injuries which affect athletes who participate in high demand sports like soccer, [American] football, and basketball.
Darikwa (28) started light training at the end of February, just two weeks before the English Championship was suspended due to the coronavirus crisis.
On Monday, he posted a picture on Instagram of himself running, while keeping a safe distance from teammate Matty Cash, and said: “Good to be back.”
He could get some minutes on the field when the season resumes as the league is left with nine rounds.
Should Forest secure a promotion play-offs spot (position 3-6), the side will play a few more games, giving him a chance to fully wear off the rust ahead of next season.
