Newcastle United fans spot new 'problem' as Sven Botman footage emerges

Newcastle United fans think they have spotted the root of the club’s injury problems after new footage of Sven Botman emerged.

The clip showed Botman back in individual training as he continues his rehabilitation from a cruciate ligament injury sustained in March.

Fans noted that the level of work he was doing was ahead of the typical recovery schedule for his injury, raising concerns that he was being rushed back.

The concerns emerged as a result of the Dutchman having previously been rushed back from an ACL injury, resulting in the new blow shortly after his return.

Botman’s injury was set to rule him out for around nine months, but a return to on-pitch work just four months later has led to further worries.

Botman featured just 22 times for Newcastle last season as a result of his injury issues, and his return is not scheduled until closer to the end of the year.

A knee injury in September 2023 saw him miss 16 games, before he had surgery on his cruciate ligament in March and has so far missed another 16 games.

As a result, fans are concerned about rushing him back when he is not completely ready, through fears of risking another injury blow.

He'll get rushed back then get injured out for the rest of the season— Mick (@Mick86320147) July 23, 2024

Let's hope he's not rushed back before he's ready I would rather wait than see him return without being 100%— jim bergfeld (@jimbergfeld1) July 23, 2024

If the intense style of play, you don't want to be rushing players back in the squad. Use the scheduled time to get back fully fit— Leighton (@slimm_1984) July 23, 2024

This might be the problem, players not taking the scheduled recovery time.— Jo Apa (@Kanu_jay50) July 23, 2024

lets not rush him back though ???? Burn is pretty solid at CB and we've got Kelly now. Not saying they are anywhere near Botman but rather he come back properly unlike last time.— DG (@DavidGi73163087) July 23, 2024

Hopefully this is not him again rushing himself back in like last season.— Sumedh Bobhate (@Sumedh1702) July 23, 2024

protect this man till he’s ???? ready. Needs to be wrapped in more cotton wool than an early last season Lewis Hall— mike stec (@mikepumpkin) July 23, 2024

However, some supporters were allowing themselves to get excited over his potential return.

I'm so glad this guy is on his way back massive player for us. #NUFC— Football Madness ⚽️???? (@Maddog128893321) July 23, 2024
