Rob Holding: Road to Recovery | Documentary

It was a tough third season in north London for Rob Holding.
Despite impressing in the opening weeks, our defender’s campaign came to a premature end when he was stretchered off following a freak collision with Marcus Rashford against Manchester United in December.
Since then, Rob has been working hard behind the scenes to get back on the pitch as soon as possible, and in this in-depth documentary we focus on:
Rob’s agony at Old Trafford
What Rashford said to him afterwards
Our defender’s journey in rehab
How the ‘ACL Crew’ have helped him

[@antoniobank7202]

@@imranosman8122 he is young. You have to be patient with young players. His first game under Wenger he was great and we fans praised him a lot. The second game he got a red card. As a young player you have to adapt in the highest level and find consistency. You get it from game times. Sometimes as a young player you have good games and sometimes you make horrible mistakes. With Saliba will be the same and Holding was not always great at the beginning. Mavropanos has clearly potential. Give him time.

He is a hero of mine and I’m getting his name and number on the back of next seasons jerseys that are coming out in a couple of days.
