Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey has revealed that it took him around a year to recover from his double leg break he suffered in February 2010.
The Welsh midfielder was injured in a challenge with Stoke City's Ryan Shawcross during a game more than three years ago, and the Gunners man admits that it was a huge setback to his career.
"To get over that kind of injury takes a year, probably a bit longer," The Mirror quotes Ramsey as saying.
"You must keep believing and working hard, and it just feels, all of a sudden, that it clicks into that bubble and you are full of confidence.
"It takes a long time to mentally overcome it. It was from last Christmas, that's when I was getting back to my best. That is when I felt confident, and when I was getting stuck in."
