If Zlatan Ibrahimovic is anything to go by, the king of the jungle should be able to juggle a ball approximately one month after suffering an ACL tear.
Less than a month after undergoing surgery to repair his torn ACL, the Swedish forward stunned his followers on Instagram with a video of himself taking part in a light training session.
The video of the United star kicking a ball was, of course, accompanied by the caption, "The touch will never disappear. Lions don't recover like humans."
Aside from former Detroit Lions linebacker Stephen Tulloch - who suffered one of the more bizarre ACL injures while celebrating a sack - there's little evidence to suggest how long an actual lion might need to recover, in case anyone was wondering.
