Number 10 is back. In the game today between Manchester United and Newcastle in the Premiere League, Zlatan Ibrahimovic makes hos come back less than 7 months after his horrible knee injury.
The icon striker has made an absolutely remarkable record breaking recovery. When people said his career was over at the agenof 36 or that an injury like that take one year or more to heal, Ibrahimovic is back within months. Hos coach Jose Mourinho says that he has never seen a recovery like that or a football player work so hard on rehab.
As Zlatan always says, “don’t compare humans with lions”.
