“It was difficult,” Gilmour told Chelsea’s official website. “After the operation, I missed football a lot and looked to get back as soon as possible. I’ve never had this time out of there before and especially the lockdown. “In fact, I couldn’t do anything.
“I had just moved in with me and you need to do things in space, but you can’t when you only have one leg and jump on crutches. It was the worst feeling of all time, but physiotherapists helped me a lot to do it. strengthen my leg and knee. I have to stick to the workouts to make sure the knee stays moving and strong, but now everything’s fine. “
