Lingard is not expected to be out for long, as he has already returned to light training, but he is once again being prevented from making an impact on the field. That has become a familiar theme for the 31-year-old since being released by Nottingham Forest in the summer of 2023.
DID YOU KNOW?
The ex-England international has attracted criticism from some, with questions asked of his commitment to the professional game, but Lingard continues to turn a deaf ear to any detractors. He has vowed to “stay weird” and has now posted a number of images on social media that show him enjoying life in the Far East.
WHAT NEXT?
One of the pictures that Lingard has shared includes the positive message: “Love your f*cking life. Take pictures of everything. Tell people you love them. Talk to random strangers. Do things that you’re scared of. Because so many of us die and no one remembers a thing we did. Take your life and make it the best story in the world. Don’t waste that sh*t.” Lingard intends to follow all of that advice to the letter.
