Christopher Jullien has posted a positive update on his Instagram this afternoon as the player continues to work towards recovery from a horrible knee injury. Neil Lennon confirmed last week that the defender faced nine months out after an injury at the tail end of 2020.

The player has travelled to FFF’s Clairefontaine medical centre in order to prepare himself for an anticipated return within the next nine months.

The defender returned to France to continue his rehabilitation from a knee injury suffered at the end of 2020. In the 3-0 win over Dundee United, the French defender rushed towards the goal and slid in to make a goal saving clearance but was left grounded when his knee collided with the base of the post. The horror smash saw the central defender stretchered off.
