Your support makes all the difference.Tottenham Hotspur and England left-back Danny Rose has returned to training after more than eight months out with a knee injury.
Rose has not played since sustaining a medial knee ligament injury on 31 January, for which he had surgery on 16 May. But after five months of rehabilitation he returned to first-team training this week and is understood to be feeling good.
Tottenham say that this is still part of his rehabilitation as he starts to integrate himself back into the squad. He will not be ready for first team football for at least another few more weeks, meaning a likely return in November rather than October.
Rose was in the form of his life last season when he damaged the medial ligament in his left knee during Spurs' 0-0 draw at Sunderland on 31 January. Rose returned to training in April but did not feel that he could perform with his normal explosive power. So once Tottenham's season was over, on 16 May, he had an operation to clear up his left knee.
After that he has been in rehabilitation, working to strengthen the muscles around his left knee until he was ready to train again.
While he was injured Rose gave a controversial interview criticising Tottenham's wage structure and transfer policy, amid serious interest from Chelsea and Manchester United. But Spurs refused to sell him and his relationship with manager Mauricio Pochettino has since healed.
