If I remember it correctly initially they said that he needs 1 month off the ice and intensive therapy and then 2-3 months for recovery. It makes 4 months in total. 4. If the treatment does not work out he has to consider surgery. Even if that would mean he would have to skip GP series- he better make a decision soon. He can't risk getting another similar injury again. And knowing his samurai spirit he would fight pain in silence. But his performance results would very much deteriorate. He can't let that happen. And the injury type that he has is just nasty. It can let you painless for a while and then get back when you least expect it.
I know people miss him a lot. He's a shining sun, he is addicting to his fans. He has to be wise and percevering about quality recovery. Health comes first. With healthy body he can build strong basis for perfect performances.
I will support him no matter what decision he takes. But I would hate to see him suffer. 2 seasons is a very long road to go. He has to be healthy.
Reading the condition of wenjing who had surgery on her tendon/ligament, it is said she was only allowed to be on ice after 4 months and even then just skating a bit and not full training.
Only his medical team would know his actual condition, maybe they feel like yuzuru needs a bit more recovery time but who knows. If surgery was necessary i would think he possibly would have already had it (or maybe he did and they kept silent about it we will never know). All we can do is just wait now



in these times of no news every video counts lol
