Sears Back Running as Recovery Continues - Ipswich Town News
Striker Freddie Sears has started straight-line running as he continues his recovery from the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) damage he suffered at Norwich in February.
The 29-year-old, who underwent surgery soon after sustaining the injury, is making good progress with November having been pencilled in for his return to action.
"Freddie has just had his sixth-month review with a specialist and all went well,” Town physio Matt Byard told the club site.
"He is just starting to do straight-line running outside, which is the very initial stage of running for a player returning from this type of injury.
"He’s had no setbacks at all at the moment but there is a long way to go yet and it’s a case of taking things day by day.”
