"I'm running and training well. I just need to put a bit more muscle mass on my right leg. When the doctors told me after the injury how long it might take, I thought, 'Oh wow, it's going to be a long journey.' But now everything is looking good. There's no point letting myself get down, complaining, or feeling sorry for myself. Injuries like these are part of the sport."
"The process is more difficult mentally than physically. The muscles will come back on their own. But not knowing how long you'll be out and whether you'll be able to do certain things - that's tough. In rehab, you work on different areas over and over again, which puts a strain on your mind and challenges your body. Sometimes your body says, 'I don't want to do this anymore.' Then you have to be mentally strong."
Alphonso Davies reports steady progress in rehabilitation after his injury, running and training well while needing to add muscle mass to his right leg. Medical timelines initially suggested a long recovery, but current signs are positive. Davies emphasizes avoiding self-pity and focusing on a gradual, safe return to reduce re-injury risk. He describes the process as more taxing mentally than physically, citing uncertainty about recovery length and repetitive rehab work that strains mind and body. The hardest part of rehab is now behind him, and he looks forward to rejoining teammates and contributing to team goals. Jamal Musiala and Hiroki Itō provide daily motivation as rehab partners.
