Burnley's Josh Cullen posts update on his recovery from devastating ACL injury
Burnley’s Josh Cullen has issued a positive update on his recovery from his devastating ACL injury.
The Clarets skipper is facing an estimated nine months on the sidelines after suffering the blow during the game against Everton at the end of December.
The 29-year-old has since undergone surgery and is now back at Gawthorpe beginning the first steps in his recovery.
Cullen has now taken to Instagram to share an update on his rehab process, accompanied by video footage of him walking tentatively with the aid of crutches and a knee brace.
He also shared words of encouragement for supporters about the club’s current predicament, which has seen Scott Parker’s side endure a miserable 16-game winless run.
