Levi Colwill Injuries

'We had a problem the last two days with Levi... we don't know how long he is going to be out. We need to wait. It was in the first session on Monday, in the last minutes. He felt something and, as I said, we need to wait, and then we see.' 'Levi has today undergone successful surgery [for] an ACL injury. Medical assessments confirmed surgery would be the required course of action. Levi will now begin his recovery and be supported by the medical department at Cobham during his rehab phase.' 'Yes, he could [be back before the end of the season], but it's step by step, and I don't want to make promises that I can't keep. At the moment, Levi is in a really good place. He's on the right track, but I don't want to put pressure on him. It's been brilliant to see him back on the pitch running. He is itching to get back, but we need to make sure he feels 100 per cent perfect.' 'Levi is doing really well with his long-term rehab...' 'If you look at our squad now, Levi is back in modified training.' 'He's hitting all of the benchmarks that he needs to, but we need to keep making sure that he keeps going past certain levels. We want to see him out there ASAP, but within the right timeframe. Yeah, hopefully, this season, which would be a massive boost.' 'It's great to have Levi back in full training, but it's going to take him a few more weeks to tick those boxes before he's ready [to feature].' 'Levi is training but still needs to overcome some hurdles in terms of selection.' 'Levi will play some minutes with the U21s tomorrow, which is fantastic for him. I want to make sure he is 100 per cent right in terms of his match fitness before we consider him for our first team.' 'Very hopeful that we’ll see him before the end of the season. He played for the U21s, and while it was a very low-level game, getting 60 mins was a really good start for him. We want him to be involved in the next [U21s] game, and build him up because it's been a really bad injury that he's come back from.' 'Reece (James) is back in training, and Levi - both are looking good. A little way to the game, so we'll see how they do, but both are looking promising. We're taking it day by day. Levi has had a long injury, and we don't want to push him too much.'

'Levi was also not in the session today, Enzo wasn't in the session today, Romeo wasn't in the session today. So, we have three or four players who are doubts for Monday's game because of the last game.' 'He's better now...' 'Probably Levi and Enzo could be ready [to feature against Man City]. It depends on today's session.'

'Exactly the same as Malo (Gusto). He didn't feel very well during the night and this morning. But he could play, finish the game, and hopefully it is nothing important.'

'I think they are both OK when they went inside [to the changing room]. We will see, but I don't think there is any problem there.'

'Beginning rehabilitation programme.' 'We only found out after the [Brentford] game. We finished with two players who then couldn't train. Levi's problem is his toe.' 'Continuing to undergo his rehabilitation programme.' 'No, [he is] not available yet. Yesterday, [he was] doing partial training with the squad. [He is] close.'

'We don't believe that it is so bad. It is a small issue that maybe he didn't feel comfortable. We knew before maybe we wouldn't start with him, but he was ready to play, and then he felt something.' 'Levi is out. He suffered a minor injury in his tendon. He's getting better, and it's not a big issue, but he is going to be out for tomorrow.' 'I don't believe Levi will be involved. Today, he didn't train, and we'll see tomorrow. Asking me today, no, but tomorrow we'll see his evolution.' 'And then maybe Levi will be back on Monday; we need to wait until Sunday to see if it is possible for him to be available.'

'My perception was Levi was a little bit tired, and we wanted to put some more offensive players like Malo (Gusto) on and provide more energy in the side.'

'Colwill is going to be in the squad.'

'Fatigue - he didn't play today, but on Sunday, he can play, for sure.'

'Levi played with the U21s, and I was there to watch - he looked good. I want to see how he is today.'

'It's an important injury. I am sorry for him because, for us, the left centre-back is very important.' 'Levi could be back next game.' '[Levi is] not available. I think he needs one or two weeks to work with us inside of the group, but he feels good and well.'
