Ah yeah, you're right on EzeI don't think VVD is anything like the player he was prior to his injury and even so it took another season or so to look close to what he was before. I'm sure the surgery has gotten a lot better but I doubt he will be the same player. The mental hurdle doesn't help either. One of the players I follow did his ACL and MCL, despite everyone saying he's back he looks understandably terrified and tentative whenever he plays.
I thought Eze's was achilles not knee but I'm not that sure.
