Good news for Mansfield Town goal ace Rhys Oates as injury is healing quicker than expected

Injured Mansfield Town goal ace Rhys Oates has been given a big boost with the news he could be back even earlier than his December target.
Oates suffered torn ligaments from his pectoral muscle in a freak accident against AFC Wimbledon on 16th August with initial fears he could be missing for up to six months.
That was downgraded to December after an operation and a delighted Oates said: “I saw the surgeon last week and he said it is progressing more than he was expecting, so we are on the right lines at the minute.
“That was a big boost, to know my body is healing well and has taken to the surgery well. It puts you in a mindset where I can just push myself harder every day and get back quicker.
“At the start my target was the first game in December which would take it to about three months. But it was good news from the surgeon last week, so hopefully if we can keep along those lines then it may be before that. We just have to take it week by week.
