The process is more difficult mentally than physically, Davies revealed. He said, “The muscles will come back by themselves, but not knowing how long you’re out for or whether you can do certain things – that’s hard.”
What comes next?
Davies will hope to put his injury problems behind him as his career starts to ramp up. He's focused on his rehabilitation and is working hard to return to the pitch as soon as possible.
Davies added, “Injuries like this are part of sport. The only thing I can do now is battle back, not as quickly but as steadily as possible, so that hopefully nothing happens again.” He's determined to come back stronger and more resilient than ever.
The Bayern No. 19 is taking things one step at a time, focusing on his mental strength and physical rehabilitation. He's aware that the road to recovery will be long, but he's ready for the challenge.
