Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey admits it's been a long road back from the broken leg he suffered three years ago.
Only this season has he shown the form that saw him lauded so early in his career.
"It was a really tough thing to go through and I don't wish it upon anybody," said Ramsey.
"The determination and the professionalism that you need, all the hours you have to spend in the gym, it's quite tough. But I've got through that. It's taken me a bit longer than I would've liked, but I'm happy now where I am, and hoping to improve and carry on this good form that I'm in."
