Wales star finally makes rugby return a year after Six Nations horror injury that saw knee ‘obliterated’
Wales Online says Dan Lydiate will draw a line under a year of misery when he returns to playing action for the Ospreys in their United Rugby Championship clash with Leinster in Dublin on Saturday.
It’s just over 12 months since the teak-hard flanker injured knee ligaments playing for Wales against Ireland in the Six Nations. Speaking about the injury later, Lydiate reckoned the affected knee had been ‘obliterated’.
There were fears among some that the then 33-year-old might decide to call it a day.
Instead, one of Welsh rugby’s most resilient characters embarked on a long-haul recovery programme that reaches its good-news stage with his appearance among the replacements for the Ospreys in the Irish capital.
It has taken immense strength of character for Lydiate to make it back, with the 65-cap Wales international battling through uncertainty and the frustration of working hard without playing.
