THE ROAD BACK 💙⚽️

After 16 surgeries in just eight weeks, Chris is finally on the road to recovery.

He has begun his rehabilitation, is walking short distances with support and amazingly has already started kicking a football again.

It’s been a long and incredibly difficult journey for Chris and his family, but seeing him back with a ball at his feet is a special moment for everyone.

We also want to thank everyone who has reached out, sent messages and kept Chris in their thoughts and prayers throughout his journey. The support shown for Chris and his family has meant so much.

There’s still a long road ahead, but one step and one touch at a time. ❤️

Keep going Chris. We’re all behind you. 🙏⚽️
