Right first time - 8. He was back for less than two months.

Brexit means Brexit! is the current battle cry amongst the youth for this kind of challenge I understand.... (I kid you not!)

I can vouch for that. Certainly made me chuckle when I first heard it.

It's a difficult one with Lewis. If he was fit, he'd be exactly what we need - a physical defender who can also play out from the back. However, we do have a chance to make some good additions next season. Montsma's presumably on a good wage, so is Adelakun, and although he's started playing well/ frequently, you'd imagine Bishop is too. I can't imagine we'll see Lewis play again for the club on that basis, and it's such a shame it's turned out like that for everyone.

An ill thought rash challenge that causes persistent pain for the rest of your life .Yes very apt

I'm split on this.
Does he deserve a chance to come back, for sure. Will he be 100% physically and maybe more important mentally, not sure about that but hopefully we get the chance to see.
Then looking at it monetarily, what's been our return on the investment? History of injuries (much like Walker) and a risk that this ACL will reoccur and once again we are paying long term for someone not able to play.
My heart says give him a chance to return but my head says it's not a particularly good investment.

He has posted videos on Instagram from time to time of him doing recovery work, strength training and also of Neymar's ACL rehab (don't google those videos, they look and sound awful).
He was excellent when he came back and got up to speed very quickly, only to get injured again. I really hope he can come back again. He's such a great player, and seems a top lad as well.

Great to see Lewis with a beaming smile.

Must feel so good being back in training with a ball after all he’s been through. Really feel for the lad and hope it’s the last major injury he experiences. Has so much potential in the game. Would be great if he makes it as we enter the Championship and would probably be exactly the right type of player for us there.

If he can prove he is fit and injury free he would be like a new signing for us
