How Ben Chilwell Returned from ACL Surgery in 4.5 Months: Six Reasons
Chelsea's left wing back Ben Chilwell had an ACL reconstruction in early January 2022 and returned to play in a little over four and a half months later. His initial injury was a grade two partial tear in late November, followed by approximately five weeks of rehab before surgery. This prehab portion helped expedite recovery. His methodical return to play involved progressive physio, solo sessions, and training with various team levels before first team training in mid-May. The club and manager Thomas Tuchel did not pressure his return, promoting a no-expectation environment. Chilwell's positive mindset, high fitness level, and access to elite medical staff also contributed to his quick recovery. However, it may take longer for him to return to pre-injury performance levels.
