Sheffield United key man Paul Coutts returns to training after breaking his leg last season, confirmed by James Shield.
Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder says that key man Paul Coutts returns to training after breaking his leg last season.
Paul Coutts claimed he had no hard feelings over the tackle that ended his season early on, but admitted that he was surprised not to hear from Marvin Sordell after his “lazy” tackle broke his leg.
A few months ago Paul Coutts told The Star: “I’m getting there now.”
”I started running last week at the EIS on the anti-gravity treadmill, so it’s not full body weight but I’m getting there. I’ve unfortunately run out of time this season so I think it’ll be pre season before I’m back.”
“I’m not sure how breaking your leg can be lucky but I was told I was lucky, as leg breaks go, because it was a clean break that didn’t need an operation, and the bone was only ten per cent unaligned.”
“Everything so far has gone to plan, I’m slightly ahead of schedule and should be okay for pre-season.”
