Yeah I was thinking how it would be more embarrassing for him to train with the first team knowing he will never play. A true third GK.
If he feels well and wants to train he will tell the trainers that he's ready to train. If he can do the stuff he's supposed to do, how can club justify sending him to the gym? If he can't (this is where a normal player would say he feels pain), then trainers will come up with an individual plan. And repeat.
His own opinions matters a lot when he is back in training, as does with any player who has been injured. Doctors can't know how a player feels. They can create a clear plan for recovery with different steps but in the end it's the player who has to feel good enough to advance to next step. If it doesn't work like that the doctors either will unnecessarily hold back/prolong the player's recovery or pressure into a relapse.
