Yeah, exactly. My personal observation is that it tend to take years for players to get back completely from such extensive injuries, if they get back at all. Most don't. It's like leg breaks. If you're over a certain age when it happens you're pretty much done. I can only think of Henrik Larsson who was past 25 when he broke his leg and came back better than he was before. And his body was a bit unique in the modern game.
