Stoke City goalkeeper Jack Butland steps up his recovery as he bids to return before the end of the season

Stoke City goalkeeper Jack Butland has given fans update on his return from his devastating ankle injury.

The Englishman has not played since fracturing his ankle in March’s friendly against Germany and despite an operation to clear up the problem at the time, he has been repeatedly forced to abort comeback attempts.

However, he looks to be nearing the end of a difficult journey, taking to Instagram to share a video of himself pushing himself to the limit doing sprints on an exercise bike.
