West Brom player unlikely to be at 100% for months post injury
West Brom defender Gianluca Frabotta may take months before he can return to full fitness post his injury, according to Dr Rajpal Brar.
The injury expert claims that the club will continue giving him minutes off the bench as part of his rehabilitation process.
He did play nine minutes in the 3-1 win over Preston on 1 January.
Reacting to his situation, injury expert Dr Brar – who is a physical therapy specialist and sports scientist – has told West Brom News: “The procedure for his rehab will be to continue to adapt him via bounce matches and consistent participation in full team training.
“Difficult to say exactly how long it will take to get to 100% but considering he’s only played six matches, that typically makes the runway a bit longer.
“It may take him a few months to return to full fitness.“
Gianluca Frabotta has struggled to fit in at West Brom
The left-back has barely featured for the Baggies this season due to fitness issues.
Hopefully, he gets more game time in the second half of the season and can establish himself as an important first-team player.
It remains to be seen who the new manager is and whether or not he gives him more minutes.
