Roma striker Tammy Abraham took questions from fans and colleagues on Instagram, admitting it is ‘difficult’ to keep a positive mindset after such a serious injury.
The England international had been linked with a possible return to Chelsea or move to Arsenal before a devastating knee injury ended his season early.
He is undergoing physiotherapy to recover after surgery, but it is still expected to keep him out of action for anywhere between six and nine months.
Abraham held a question and answer session on his Instagram Stories today, noting his favourite moments at Roma were “winning the Conference League and the 3-0 against Lazio,” while he gets “shivers” every time he steps into the Stadio Olimpico.
However, the most revealing response was when Abraham was asked how he is doing mentally after the serious injury.
“Trying to stay positive and strong, even though it’s difficult.”
It was accompanied by a picture of the forward on the treatment table, the scars of the knee surgery very visible.
Abraham certainly doesn’t lack ambition, as when asked if he was the best striker in the world, he replied: “Soon. Amen” along with an emoji of crossed fingers.
He builds his confidence by “keep reassuring myself, that could be by watching clips, looking at pictures of good moments and reminiscing on how I felt in them moments.”
