Paul Glatzel interview | Progress, patience, perspective and planning

Patience is certainly a virtue for Paul Glatzel.

Nine months of careful rehabilitation from the anterior cruciate ligament injury he suffered last summer have brought the Liverpool striker close to a return to the pitch.

The 19-year-old was on course to begin training again this month, a symbolic step on the long, emotionally challenging road back to playing football.

That stage of his recuperation has, by necessity, been delayed by the current COVID-19 outbreak and the requirement for players to maintain fitness by following individual programmes at home.

But Glatzel is handling the circumstances with characteristic perspective; a mindset shaped by injuries past and present.
