The way rehab has developed in the modern game is quite remarkable. Theo had what once could have been a career-ending injury, but has come back after 662 days out *faster* than before (9.95m/s to 10.4m/s now) #lofc

As the historian Tom Holland has said, elite football is now the most popular pastime the world has ever known. The game has become not just a boom industry but a cultural form that consumes people from Manchester to Manila and London to Lima. Our newsletter, @RorySmith On Football is a guide to that world, a way to cut through the deafening noise, the claim and counterclaim, to help understand what is happening on the pitch, off the pitch, and why all of it matters.
