From City setbacks to Cup hopes

Tai Sodje’s journey from Manchester City’s injury ward to Buxton’s goal charts is pure resilience in motion. The 22-year-old forward, once sidelined by hamstring woes, now has eight goals in 15 starts and an eye on Cheltenham Town—and maybe a reunion with City.

After years spent talking more with physios than teammates, Sodje’s now scoring so often Buxton might start prescribing him to other clubs. He calls it growth; we call it the healthiest comeback in football.
