Sven Botman: A few weeks out
Dec 6th
Botman (knee) is a few weeks away from a return to match action, according to manager Eddie Howe."He is doing well. The initial moments in training were passive and making sure he didn't do too many drills but now he is fully training, playing a couple of 11v11s. He is still a a few weeks off from playing competitively but he looks and feels good. It's all about rhythm for Sven now and getting those game dynamics and the pitch geography back, things he would normally do on auto-pilot. He needs to rediscover how to do it but it's been a big boost to have him training. He is a big guy, a big presence and we have missed him."
