Coventry City talent James Maddison believes he has come back from his ankle injury stronger than ever.The Sky Blues youngster has returned to full training as he continues his rehabilitation from the injury he picked up against Walsall in August and could be back in the first team within weeks.
He told the club's official website: "It’s a great feeling to be back out training. It has been a tough three months to be honest, but I’m really happy to be back involved on the training pitches.
"Every footballer will tell you when you’re injured it’s hard to take, it’s been tough mentally and physically.
"But obviously I’m glad to see team doing so well, we’re top of the league and that’s what matters.
"I know I started the first four games but it’s going to be tough to get back into the side, the manager has recruited really well but I trust my own ability and hope to work my way back into the side."
He added: "Physically I feel the best I've felt, I've been working hard in the gym doing rehab on my ankle but also working hard on my upper body and that's a big thanks to the physio's who have all helped."
Coventry City's Joe Cole battles for the ball with Rochdale's Jim McNultyMaddison admits that he has been using the opportunity to quiz former England star Joe Cole about his career as the pair working closely to get fit.
The 19-year old continued: "Joe’s a top man, I’ve been working closely with him recently as we both continue to get fit.
"I’ve really enjoyed working with him, obviously I watched him as a kid and I’m constantly asking him about his career and how to improve my game. Even sitting next to him in the changing room is an experience and we’re glad he’s here."
