CHERRIES defender Charlie Daniels today revealed he was back out training on grass following surgery on a dislocated patella.
The full-back endured a difficult 2019, suffering two serious knee injuries in the space of five months.
Having looked set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines after dislocating the patella in his left knee in April, Daniels returned sooner than thought to play a part in pre-season.
He made his competitive Cherries return at Aston Villa in August, where he played the full 90 minutes.
However, disaster struck again the following week, dislocating the patella in his right knee whilst swinging in a cross during the defeat to Manchester City at Vitality Stadium.
But the 33-year-old looks set to be back training outside, following his latest injury.
A post from the defender’s Twitter account, captioning a picture of Cherries’ training ground, said: “It’s good to be back outside! Nine months post op.”
It’s good to be back outside! 🙌🏼

The Daily Echo understands Daniels is close to agreeing a short-term contract to keep him with Eddie Howe’s squad until the end of the season.
