Ben Cabango | Road to Recovery

Having been hoping for selection to be part of Wales' historic World Cup play-off clash against Ukraine, the 22-year-old instead found himself facing a race against time to be fit for the start of the 2022-23 season. Throughout his rehabilitation the Swans TV cameras were there to document the inside story of what it's like for a player recovering from injury. From on-field diagnosis, to surgery, stitches and conditioning, Cabango and the Swansea City medical team reveal what it's really like when a player is working to get back to full fitness.

Swansea City Association Football Club is a Welsh professional football club based in the city of Swansea, South Wales that plays in the Championship. Swansea City represents England when playing in European competitions, although they have represented Wales in the past. They play their home matches at the Liberty Stadium.
The club was founded in 1912 as Swansea Town and joined the Football League in 1921. The club changed their name in 1969, when it adopted the name Swansea City to reflect Swansea's new status as a city.
In 1981, the club were promoted to the original Football League First Division. It was during the following season they came close to winning the league title, but a decline then set near the season's end before finishing sixth, although a club record. It was from here the club suffered a relegation the season after, returning to the Football League Fourth Division a few seasons later, then narrowly avoided relegation to the Football Conference in 2003. Prior to playing home matches at the Liberty Stadium, the team had previously hosted at the Vetch Field. The Swansea City Supporters Society Ltd owns 20% of the club, with their involvement hailed by Supporters Direct as "the most high profile example of the involvement of a supporters' trust in the direct running of a club".
In 2011, Swansea were promoted to the English Premier League, becoming the first Welsh team to play in the top division since its formation in 1992. On 24 February 2013, Swansea beat Bradford City 5-0 to win the 2012-13 Football League Cup (the competition's highest ever winning margin for the final), winning the first major English trophy in the club's history and qualifying for the 2013-14 UEFA Europa League.

Everyone involved with the shooting and editing of this needs to know you are absolutely unbelievable at filmmaking in one way or another. Fantastic storytelling. Exceptional visuals.

Went to school with Ben, crazy to see how far he's come - used to watch him play football on the school field during our lunch breaks. Can 1000% see him being the captain of a team someday!

[@FIFAPROXBOX360]

Need to make Cabango captain soon. Great video 👌

[@elijahgeorge2529]

Nah I love cabango but grimsey is a good captain tbh and naughton will probably be the next captain If he doesn't leave next season both of them

[@drichcymru]

Great insight into the recovery process. I think most of us were suprised to see him back so soon after the injury but this shows not only that he worked his arse off to get through it but more importantly it was done the right way.

Thank you Swansea - I am showing this to my kinesiology class in the states. Brilliant interviews.

Cabago legend 🙌

Really enjoyed that. Great content. More please!! Personally, would be really interested to see more about the player's S&C programming, pre-season, off-season, and especially in-season.

Well done to the physio team and the great Ben Cabango at Swansea City, a great team effort by all! We at Wrexham have got a long way to go to reach the same level. Good luck for the rest of the season!
