Mehdi Carcela, the Moroccan midfielder from Standard Liège, is making a swift recovery from an ankle injury sustained a month ago. Carcela participated in training sessions, and his progress has exceeded expectations. He expressed his surprise at the quick recovery, stating that two weeks ago, he was limping, and his ankle was significantly swollen. Carcela credits the medical staff and innovative techniques for the rapid improvement. While he hopes to play again from February and has received medical clearance, he plans to take it easy, ensuring a gradual return to full activity with ankle protection and post-session care. Carcela acknowledges having fears about duels but is determined to regain confidence and return to top form for the playoffs.
