Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger claims Aaron Ramsey's return from a broken leg will be more about his mental recovery than anything else.
The Wales star suffered a serious injury against Stoke last weekend and could miss the rest of the year although Wenger is in no doubt he will recover physically.
The Emirates chief said: "If you have the Ramsey injury, you know he will come back. But you never know what the psychological impact on your future game is and that is what you are scared of.
"
Some players put their foot in straight away again and some players are never the same.
They lose that little bit of freedom to go into the challenges.
"Lose just that and you are not the same player."
