Forward CSKA Semyon Antonov in an interview with , he said the recovery from a ruptured Achilles tendon is going as planned and he and the club are not going to force it.
Antonov was injured in the United League regular season game against Avtodor on October 23.
How is your recovery going?
– Good. Everything is on time, as it should be. Step by step. We strictly follow the instructions of the surgeon who operated. We are not ahead of schedule and waiting for the next step. If you use basketball terminology, then basically the first quarter of the recovery is over, now the second quarter is underway. And so, I think, we’re going to break it down into four stages. That is to say, the first stage was the operation, stitches, plaster for two weeks, boots for four. Then there were the first steps. Now everything is already going a little more, a little more actively. And so, step by step, day by day, week by week… Here, in this regard, it is difficult to surprise with something: there are laws of nature, according to which it is enough to meet these deadlines according to the protocols .
Do you plan to play this season?
“I don’t want to guess anything. To be honest, I don’t even think about it now. Because there are times when one day the leg behaves well, and the next day it can swell a little. So guess what I wanna come back and play [в этом сезоне], I will not do it. With the coaching and medical staff and with the club management, we understand that it is really not worth forcing. As the Finnish doctor who operated on me told me: the sooner you come back, the more likely you are to have a relapse. It’s basically like any injury if you’re ahead of protocol. The percentage chance of relapse here is higher than if you endure the recovery period, Antonov told .
